They boast that money is instantly transferred yet if you request any on a weekend it does not transfer until Monday to your account and when you call them they just feed you a load of rubbish !!! Also they are not cheaper than a pay day loan as they claim to be !!!

ive received a facebook message, saying if id put in for it now itd go through fine, but theyre sorting the backlog of requests from the weekend with their bank barclays, i bank with barclays and havent heard of any problems from my end? think maybe as its the weekend its caused problems? ive checked my bank and still nothing!!

Ive not even had a message back from them, I put in a request on Sat thinking it went through, but didnt then did it again on Sun again and waited all day, the frustrating thing is that its took me to my limit and Im getting charged for it and only wanted the one request. I will keep trying! keep me posted and I will do the same.

No me neither, managed to get through on the phone and said the same and that they are working on it its an issue with Barclays but if its your first deposit then they would look at bankind details. I said that its not my first deposit so it wouldnt be that. They are hoping to have the money today but cant give me a timeframe. Like you I am going to ring at lunch again and see what they say! Same here, up to my limit now because of the issue.
Have you been using them long and have you had any problems before?

yeah ive been using them for a while now and never had any issues so cant be they need to look at my bank either, ive only got a 192 limit, think as im self employed? i have emailed and asked if i can have my limit looked at but then dont want to give them that to look at instead of the initial payment so its hard knowing what to do, think ill ring again at lunch, keep me posted on any news you have and ill do the same, thanks fro responding in the first place, i wasnt sure if it was just me so thought id check on here! x

this is my first time using them and was getting a bit scared thinking that they have tricked me, so had a look on here and see that there were other people having issues too. Of course will do x

hiya, this is what I have just got.....
Thank you for your email.
We apologise unreservedly for the delay in deposits reaching your account.
They are currently queuing with our bank provider and we were advised yesterday that these funds would have started to flush through during the evening. However it would now seem that this information was inaccurate and we can only apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
We are chasing the bank relentlessly in order to get these funds out to our customers. This is not a service that we are in any way comfortable providing and we thank you for your continued patience.
Rest assured this is the highest priority for all levels of management and is an issue which has affected a large proportion of our customer base.

ok thanks, i got a similar email to this earlier, they said that they are starting to go through and are in a queue with barclays, so i presume we will prob receive our deposits today? I am hoping so have a young baby and they took repayment last week (actually I bank with barclays and they took the repayment fine on friday??) which has left me short, i think ill give them a ring again in a couple of hours if still not got the funds,its annoying as they said that if we put in for the funds now they would go through as normal, have you had any problems with clear account before? xx

no this is the first time i used them I was a bit sceptical about it all and when this happended I thought that I had made a massive mistake, I made a deposit on Friday and came through no problem at all. Just the weekend's deposits that havent come in. I cant put in for funds as im up to limit waiting for them to put the money in then pay some back. hopefully it wont be too much longer xx

no still gettin told that barclays are being slow sorting the problem, seems odd as im with barclays and been told no issues either, they are saying money is with them in queues and hoping will be done at some point today but still no idea of approx timescale, bubblyflower - so theyve told u they hope to get to us by close of banking day?? i phoned about ten mins ago and they seemed abit annoyed with people ringing but its just dificult not to when you dont know whats going on!!

Hi All,
We can now confirm that the deposits issue from the weekend has been resolved.
All deposits requested over Saturday, Sunday and first thing this morning have now been sent. Funds requested should be in your account by the end of today (Monday) at the latest, hopefully in the next couple of hours.
Once again, can we take this opportunity to sincerely apologise for the problems experienced over this weekend. Although the problem did not originate with us and resolution was out of our hands, it does not reflect the standards we set ourselves or that our customers are entitled to expect.
We now have two separate payment systems up and running through different banks to try and minimise the risk of this happening again at a weekend, although with unplanned outages with bank systems a fact of life on occasion, the risk can never be entirely eliminated.
Thanks
ClearAccount

hi no nothing again still theyre just saying they apologise and would hope it would be sorted today, i wonder if theyve got money problems or something and havent even got the money to lend?!! ive not facebooked again, might do now again see where we get, if we all keep ringing emailing them we might get somewhere, i feel for you two as first time customers id be so annoyed, more than i am anyways, ive used them before and money always been in within about 20 minutes, so really odd, ive just had an email saying theyll email me with any updates, probably because ive hassled them so much on the phone! bubblyflower - got anywhere further hun? xx

yeah would be interesting to know if anyone has received there money yet? it doesnt seem like it from the posts on here, i dont think its going to be today either and thats why they wont say cos they probably know, its strange but i just rang and got told same thing no further update, and the girl i spoke to said we have to get the money off barclays, then she changed what she said and said sorry we send the money to barclays? so i wonder if there lending to lend from barclays? xx
