as title, im opening a business bank account, any recommendations or scare stories, but NOT LLOYDS TSB,
i opened an account with them on 01-11-11, paid a £60k investment in on the 4th, then another £12k in on the 29th, went to transfer £32 out to part purchase a flat as im investing in that sort of thing now, only to be told i cant get it out as my son who is a minor shareholder hasnt signed a form,
he lives in prague and has just started a 3 month holiday in the algarve so he cant get his passport as it is in prague, to his local bank to have it verified, so i have had to pull out of the deal, and have lost about £10k profit they are simply not interested and have said as he hasnt signed the form we cant get the cash out, but nobody told us he needed to sign, in fact i specifically asked as we knew it would be a prob and was told no, only the major shareholder, me, needs to sign, so i need another bank as im shutting the TSB account
( i was well impressed to be told by them that it can take 3 weeks to get the £72k back, you can imagine how that conversation went this morning)
cheers for any advice, or are they all as bad as each other,
will post this on other forums as well so you might see it somewhere else
