Hi all, I have added quite a few posts here over the last week or so and over many topics, so you may remember me.
I am still looking for the right "secondary banking facility" as a back-up, and I have taken many of your words to good mind, however, it seems that one point is a stumbling block still...
The main point will be to use counter services to pay a cash bill... I do not need Internet account unless to view account only. My current account already has all facilities usually needed, except, they are an Internet ONLY bank, so have no counter services... I notice, right or wrong, that in words written me here and indeed on the web searches to banks so far, that you will not get a counter service (ie: withdraw cash over counter), this suggests to me that if I wanted to pay a paper bill with mandate, I might still have a problem.
Unfortunately, I did upset many banks in my IVA process, so most suggested that will be good for a basic account, I cannot approach, and the other main thing... will I be able to pay a paper bill over the counter without paying fees, as in, either taking cash to the counter or withdrawing amount from account to pay that paper bill regardless how small the amount? I have noticed that in cases, the banks have transaction parameters to use... I really need to make a good choice here... I see that within one pre-pay card that I found and referred on here (Tuxedo), has pretty good choice, but wonder if there is over counter facility on a normal high street bank... I could of course list all my NONO banks here, but maybe list will be too long!
