I took on the risk of moving to new current account. The new people did all the running, made sure all the direct debits were moved over, standing orders amended, contacted everyone who needed to know, and today was the day when it all went official. Only one company failed to do anything. Yes, you guessed it. The employer.

The company I work, in spite of being written to in March, sent my salary straight into my old account. Fun afternoon running making sure there was enough money in my new account to meet all the obligations due on it today and over the next few days.
