okay here is the problem, i posted a thread yesterday but i will explain it again.

i got my solo card through the post just 2 week's ago, it told me to put my account number and sign it and send it to edingbrugh (sorry if spelt wrong) so anyways i did that and sent it there, not realising that i put my wrong account number on that, i put the last 8 digits of my card number on, instead my account number is on my cheque book but i didnt know that. so i got my pin thru the post the other day thinking it was all active, but it's not ive tried signing upto lovefilm to do the free offer but it wont let me sign up saying my card is invalid.

i rang up the bank today and they said my card is active, but its not i know that. or it would let me sign upto the lovefilm free trial. so i rang them up again and spoke to someone else, and he said i have to go into my local branch. but what is the problem really? do i have to go into the bank and sort this out?

    If you sign up for online banking with NatWest you can activate the debit card there.

    No reason why not, just go on-line look for it under I think account admin and enter the details to activate the card.
