Alliance & Leicester - Internet Savings (Read 8,947 times)

paropilot Newbie Offline Posts: 10	Alliance & Leicester - Internet Savings May 10^th, 2007 at 9:53am Alliance and Leicester has discontinued its 0845 3002562 internet savings 'helpline'. Dialling it or its geographical equivalent listed by this website produces a recorded message "This number has been discontinued. Please redial using 0870 9001199". ~ Edited by Dave: Thread title amended

This is obviously a moneymaking wheeze by A&L. I have since found that their internet savings account can only be operated online and if you have problems you must dial the 0870 number. In the past I have used the 0113 geo number without problems.
I have written to A&L suggesting that they visit this website to see the weight of opinion against these telephone ripoffs. Unfortunately while you can open and pay into the account online you cannot close it so I was forced to use the 0870 number to do so. It's the only time I'll use it: my wife and I yesterday closed all our accounts with A&L and moved them to other providers which do not raise obstacles to contacting them.
A&L rates are not competitive anyway.

Changing the last digit to 6 gets through to Alliance & Leicester.

I have just rung that number and it is "Alliance & Leicester Complaints Department" Maybe a good number to bombard with complaints

big thank you Grin

for providing the alternative 0800 number for A & L current accounts. First time i rang the number it said A & L credit card then i thought i got the wrong number but if you choose option 2 it takes you to current accounts etc...brilliant..i got to spend time shouting about their ridiculously high bank charges
