Friday 13th unlucky?

I have just won £10,000 and haven’t had my bonds all that long. I was amazed and over the moon. I had a personal telephone call on Friday 13th and not an email to give me the good news. Reviewed on: 17th June 2025

Quick, quick, slow

SMS service on landline is spoken far too quickly. The SMS service on landline did not operate at 0530 hours but suddenly came through at 0830 hours. Despite funds being requested at 1119 hours money did not arrive in nominated account until evening. Same day requests from Marcus arrive within 2 hours. Reviewed on: 17th June 2025
