Yes but they couldn't verify me electronically even though a dozen other providers have done so in the last few years. I just didn't respond further so they sent a letter and several emails, which makes it surprising that they are ignoring you.

The changeover doesn't take effect until 3rd August, so I doubt if COP will recognise the new account number until then.

Sort code, not account number. I don't do CoP, anyway.
I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?0 -
That's fine, I can wait. Just wanted to sort the standing order out in good time. But if the sort code isn't changing, I'm not sure why my bank suddenly doesn't recognise it

Why can't these companies just stop changing account details 😖. Ecology, Chorley and I feel like there have been others changing sort code and account number not that long ago. It's such a pain.
(Thanks for letting us know, nothing against you of course!)

Online worked instantly as an existing customer (my first account with them was a postal one.)
I have also applied for a postal account via email, filling out the application form found online. That took longer due to me overlooking the email that told me it hadn't been delivered as the message size was too large.

Melton did the same last year, removing all their accounts from sale (though the only RS available at that time was the 5% open ended one.) No Regular Savers from them since.
In fairness to them though, I've used the old details since then and payments have been redirected without issue.

I've searched on this thread for the answer but can't find it. Apologies if discussed already.
I have fairly recently opened regular savers with the Halifax and BOS but notice they both now offer accounts with better (8%) rates.
Am I right in thinking that, if I close the existing accounts, I can open new 8% ones but would have to wait for the first anniversary of opening the existing ones?0 -
Halifax & BoS
No, with Halifax you can open a new one straight away and with BoS next day. With Halifax 'renew' it into an easy access account and with BoS close it via chat (for some reason renewing doesn't work).1
