Of possible interest to LloydsTSB customers

Discovered recently that their antiquated systems can only process ONE bank transfer per recipient a day.

If you send two bank transfers to the same person or company on the same day then the first one gets over-ridden by the second one. No indication or feedback that that has happened...even when doing it via a human. The first indication is when the recipient chases you up :evil:

Applies to both personal AND business accounts.

Interesting information Roger.
Mind you I have around 6 direct debits all on the same day and nobody seems to complain to me (except Powergen, which is another tricky problem)

I had a letter of apology from Powergen recently (they had threatened to cut me off), I told them I had had an heart attack and letters telling me I was in arrears when I was not might be possibly construed as attempted manslaughter.
My advice to anyone is do not have an account with anyone who continually makes accounting errors with their customers.

Well that rules out many of the Uk financial service providers as both my wife and I seem to spend a lot of time doing their work for them.

Roger, Same here.

Just been on the telephone the last hour to indian call centres making address changes for the next 6 months on the usual financial set ups.
They had trouble understanding me as much as I had understanding them,
House numbers etc. were repeated numerous times incorrectly and I have deep concern where paperwork is going to be sent in the next 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What..you mean you're not getting a SatPhone to stay in contact? You old skinflint!

Seriously, have a great time, drink a few tinnies and I just hope that your IT behaves itself :wink:
