Can you not use internet banking or telephone banking to find out what recent transactions there have been? Is there a Halifax charge of �6 a month on your account?
Question Author
yes im online, but nothing appears in recent transactions
its an easycash account so should be free
Question Author
none of these services charge do they?
Ebay fees via PayPal?
Question Author
i havent sold anything
Is this a new account? If the only ever transacton wa sthe �170 deposit then it looks odd. But if you have hd various transactions it could be that the �164 figure is a cleared/available balance figure which may change to �170 as credits clear or as imminent payment goes out
Question Author
i only paid 170 pounds in and 160 in cheque. i cant understand where its gone
Sorry adam, I don't follow these figures. What were the transactions again.
Can you see an online statement which shows all the transactions
Question Author
these are he figures:
12 Aug 2008 Cheque - Available 18/ 8 50.00 330.00
Cheque - Available 18/ 8 110.00 280.00
Cash 170.00 170.00
i havent drawn anything out since
Why not contact their customer services - they should be able to shed light on the matter .
sorry Adam, I'm still not sure what all your figures mean. I think you are saying you had a nil balance on 11 August then you paid in �170 cash on the 12 August. I think you have also paid in cheques for �50 and �110 which won't clear until 18 august. The statement shows your balance will be �330 once the two cheques clear.
So if you started with a nil balance your balance now should be �170. this will become �330 on 18 August.
So:
(a) is this analysis correct
(b) who has said the balance is �164
(c) was it truly a nil balance at 1 August - were there any transactions that happened before the 11 August which could have resulted in charges or could be feeding through.
Question Author
yes you are correct. when i check my avaialble balance online it tells me i have �164. i havent used the debit card or bought anything to incurr charges.
unless, i've signed upto the halifax paper free service and halifax secure, so i wonder whether they charge you for those?
Why don't you just get a statement? That will tell you what money had gone in and out.
Question Author
i will tomorrow, good thinking
There must be �6 item which is in the pipeline for going out of the account
-- answer removed --
Question Author
funny noknowledge, has anyone told you that you're an idiot?
if not, they have now.

think i know where its gone, i did sign up for the halifax paper-free and secure service, so halifax have probably charged a one off fee for them. i know its gone down a tener as i bought a top up earlier, so nothing else seems as if its gone out
You really need to ask your bank or check your statement.
but i'm not sure the �6 is for paper free and secure service as I believe they are free

Question Author
im off to the bank tomorrow, so i'll check
This is quite common. I think you will find that people like Play.com and the like take a token amount from your account to check that the account is active. If you phone the Halifax, they should be able to put your miond at rest.

You will get the money back.
