    The min opening balance for Dudley is £50. Once they've confirmed that your opening deposit got to the right place and was just the wrong amount, (assuming that's the case) you'll still be able to get your full payment in tomorrow."

    Copied from old thread to respond.

    I sent £250 so not sure why it bounced. I've sent it over again, fingers crossed it stays there today, if not I'll call them later. It's definitely saying Dudley Building Society when I put the bank details in, it would appear not to have recognised the reference number.

    Make £2025 in 2025
    Prolific £1062.50, Octopoints £6.64, TCB £492.05, Tesco Clubcard challenges £89.90, Misc Sales £321, Airtime £70, Shopmium £53.06, Everup £106.08, Zopa CB £30, Misc survey £10
    Total £2241.23/£2025 110.7%

    Make £2024 in 2024 Total £1410/£2024 70%

    Make £2023 in 2023 Total: £2606.33/£2023 128.8%

    Have you used the correct account number for the type of account (post/branch or online?) They have separate ones so the valid reference would not be recognised against the account number for the other channel.

    Just to add my thanks to Brid.

    Not only for the time you spend compiling and maintaining such a factual (new) thread but also for navigating around the many squabbles on here.

    You're very appreciated

    Two Mansfield passports received this morning as expected as I'd noted cheques were cashed yesterday, posted Monday evening (with a first class stamp).

    Thank you to Bridlington, you absolute superstar getting this new thread up and running must have taken you ages.🥇🤩

    If you want to be rich, never, ever have kids ;)

    I've had First Direct Regular Savers for a few years and the long-winded maturation process has caused slippage for progressively later dates for each issue. My newest one opened today (30th), so I wanted to ask when the payment would be taken next month?
