Is it Bank of Scotland or Royal Bank of Scotland?
“
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I wasn't too sure.
My OH has just applied for a small load £1500 to top up our funds to buy a new car with the Royal Bank Of Scotland.
However, when he was on the phone the girl told him he automatically qualified for a Preference Account, with £1500 credit already on it.
Now for me that was alarm bells. But I really don't understand what this account is.
It's not a credit card, and on the back of the form it states it's an agreed overdraft limit of £1500, but you pay it back like a credit card.
I've looked on the rbs website and can't find any information on it. If it is a proper account then we'd use it as such - paying in money to spend rather than drawing on over draft funds. But if it's just a fancy way of arranging more credit and I can't pay in normal funds, then we won't be signing the form.
If any one has one of these accounts please can you enlighten me - is it a credit account or is it a normal bank account with a high rate overdraft facility?
Thanks
Laura
