thinkmoney/Think Money (formerly Think Banking)
Nov 8th, 2007 at 1:31pm
 
I'm sorry this one is quite complicated!  I have searched the forums for to see if this request has been made before - and it has - but the person posting didn't have many details and it was never resolved.

Think Banking's current number is 0845 634 3499.  It is a bank for people with poor credit and their website is www.thinkbanking.com .

When you call them, you get through to the call centre in Salford in the same building as Gregory Pennington, another debt/poor credit company.  Gregory Pennington's address is Carolina Way, Off South Langworthy Road, Salford, M50 2ZY .

However, on bank statements the address given is CCMS Think Banking, Ashton House, PO BOX 666, Waterloo Street, Bolton BL1 8FH.  That is a Royal Bank of Scotland address (they have a deal with them).

Basically on this account you get two accounts, one for direct debits and one card account.  They withold all your money to cover your direct debits every month, meaning you have to call them to move money from one account to the other all the time.  It's very expensive doing so on a 0845 number and, as you've probably guessed, I have enough money problems without paying an extra tenner or so a month on an 0845 number ringing the bank.  

Any help in finding the geographical number would be gratefully appreciated so it comes out of my free minutes.  I know there is a freephone number on their website but that is only for people who are setting up a new account and they just tell you to call the 0845 number.  

Thanks!

Edited:
I have since removed the other thread on Think Banking due to its lack of information.

The alternative we had for thinkmoney (formerly thinkbanking) is 0330 440 7100 and is now unobtainable. The number 0161 909 3190 is still answered the same as the 0844 number.

Hi all,

Have been using the alternative number for Think Money as listed (0161 909 3190) for a while now and just over the last couple of weeks this looks to have gone inactive leaving only the 0844 number available... unless anyone has an alternative?

Try this number 0800 074 7772 this is the alternative to    08444 155 155.

Let us know if it works, you may be connected to the wrong department but if you insist they will connect you.

The line I use it I am unable to use 0844 numbers.

0800 074 7772  Press 2 for existing customers  Wink

If your calling from a mobile and freephone numbers are chargeable,you can use http://www.0800buster.co.uk/ ; or similar, not chargeable if you have inclusive 01/02/03 minutes.

I've removed this 0161 number from the database and replaced it with 0800 0747772.
