Transferred money - mistake in sort code -Yes Im stupid

[NotAllThere]

Using sort codes and account numbers. How quaint. When will the UK catch up and start publicising IBAN a little more?

Great stuff, please don't forget to post your next moronic mistake on the boards so we can be further entertained and enthralled with your inability to cope by yourself in the real world...

By the way... have you met Wilmslow?.. He is single you know....

No need to as most electronic transfers in the UK are to people in the UK.

On the various banks I with websites they do tell you where to find your IBAN if needed i.e. on your bank statement. Though they don't happily tell you the cost of transactions to the EU/EEA without hunting for it on some obscure part of their site or ring them up.

Everyone makes mistakes.

However not everyone thinks that their mistake is a good subject to start a thread on specifically if their mistake is a common one.

Yeh. I've got both Euro and Sterling accounts. Costs me 8E to recieve into Euro account, and 29E if I want to send money.

Thing is your problems are either:
1. Very common and a quick search on this site would reveal another answer posted with in the past 12 months
2. Very common and a quick search/post on the right internet site would give you the answer without getting rude/sarcastic replies

There are other internet forums on the web covering financial affairs and consumer problems i.e. fool.co.uk, moneysavingexpert.com, consumeractiongroup.co.uk it may be worth joining them so say you had a banking or insurance problem you would actually get people in the relevant industry answering your questions.

This is true.

But we get people on here discussing their toilet habits http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...ts-toilet.html and no-one has a go at them and tells them to find a more relevant forum. Or is it just me?
