Review of the Halifax, Everyday Saver:

View on product page

Halifax have lost my money!

I tried to shut my regular saver account with them online on 7 Sept. Wasn't able do that online so I had to transfer all the funds to Everyday saver. Odd but true. Tried to shut down the everyday saver account and I plugged in my bank details for money transfer. A very brief black error message floated across the page saying couldn't do it. I contacted online message chat who assured me they had shut the account down. I said clearly in my message you can't do this as you don't have my bank details where to send my money so I expected them to request them. They didn't ask me for my bank details which i expressly said I would need to give them. Now my everyday saver account says £0!! Messaging service also got rid of me and said couldn't help me but I really don't trust them at all. I now have no money in my accounts / it's gone in a puff of smoke!!! Several calls to customer service on 8 Sept all telling me different things. Eg systems down, IT faults and they all contradicted each other. Couldn't help me. Told me to visit a branch. Visit to Halifax Watford branch on 9 Sept who told me they had no idea what's wrong and can't help me!! Said they will investigate & contact me soon.... wrote my details on a scrap of paper! Don't hold out any hope. No case reference no timeframe no procedure or complaints procedure going forward given. Not explained if I'm in a proper complaint system. No hope of a resolution. Couldn't get rid of me fast enough. Perhaps it's internal fraud? How can no one a large institution not be able to help me and how can they lose my money?! I did phone the fraud Department who said unable to help me. No one seems to be able to help me and I'm extremely stressed Reviewed on: 10th September 2024
