    Someone taking out credit cards in my name!

    No, the police are no use at all. They do not understand the law in this area. When this happened to me I reported it to the police by phone and asked for a crime reference number. They refused, saying that it was not a crime. I took it to a police complaint making clear that the Home Office...

    Abbey Business Internet banking screwed

    Check your Abbey accounts. Mine has a mysterious new transaction appeared: 16 Dec 08 EX-GRATIA PAYMENT 25.00 If that's supposed to be Abbey's "apology" payment, they can think again. I've wasted about £500 + VAT of time on trying to deal with their fiasco. If it's not Abbey's...

    Abbey Business Internet banking screwed

    Glad it's not just me then. It's not actually my contracting Ltd Co accounts at Abbey, but instead it's my Plan B sole trader accounts. But, that includes 4 x mortgage Direct Debits on investment properties. If they bounce the Direct Debits and make me incur penalty fees from the mortgage...
