What good is it setting up a dd to pay in time if Barclays then move the due date back to before the dd?

I thnk that a letter before action is required.

 

Give them 14 days and then issue on the 10th day. :twisted:

Thats discusting!!!

 

This happend to my mother with Lloyds TSB

[james141]

Don't talk to me about LloydsTSB and Mothers!!!!

 

...oh, alright then do....

 

My mum had her wages paid into someone elses account who happened to have exactly the same name.

 

Her DD's and SO's went out (thankfully few as this was some years ago; most things were still cash - I think we may see a return to that system some time in the not too distant future!), and of course she got charged for it.

 

Eventually, they tracked her money down (the other persons honesty in this case is to be commended), but refused to refund the charges!!!

 

Whe overdrew by the amount she was charged and went in and told them that they may as well close it. because there will never be any money paid into it again.

 

And they did. Even in those days, rather than being honest about their own mistake, they would rather lose a customer of 18 years!!!!

 

Just goes to show what they think about their customers!!!!!!

 

Im sure I am not alone in saying that if I didnt need one to get paid, I would have nothing to do with banks!!

[james141]

Not in the slightest - I would have nothing to do with them either.

 

Maybe we should campaign to get the law changed back to what it was; allowing the employee to choose how he/she was paid - not the employer.

 

I'd have cash please, and I'd stuff it in a shoebox under my bed and take my chances with the honest thieves.

 

Definatly!!
