We need a public inquiry into the policing of demonstrations. I attended last Thursday’s, and from the perspective of public order, the police tactics were an abject failure. Moreover, they put lives at risk.

Question: Cancelled Cheque Cleared! Need Urgent Advice!?

Hi All

I have been paid today and woke up this morning at 3am and checked online to find only £250 left in my account, looking at the statement a cheque for £1035 (which has since been paid by debit card from my other account) has been cleared. I cancelled this cheque 3 days ago, even went into branch to do so, was charged £10 for doing so and still it has left my account.

Im waiting until 7am to phone the bank immediately, but i wanted to know what are the chances of getting the money back into my account today, my rent/council tax/car payment leaves my account tomorrow by DD and i cannot afford for this to happen now.

As it only left the account this morning and its previously been cancelled are the bank able to re-credit it immediately? It’s Alliance & Leicester.

Can anyone put my mind at ease for the next few hours?

Thanks

Answer: This is the bank’s fault. You paid them £10 to stop the cheque and they have failed to do so. Go in and insist that they credit your account immediately. If not then they should honour your DDs etc without penalty.

Write to the banking ombudsman if you get no joy. Somebody at Alliance and Leicester has not done their job properly. Also ask them to make good any loss of wages if you have to take time off work to sort it. Be firm. Since Stander took them over they have gone downhill.
