Yes - I think that this hit me too before although I don't think that I ended up overdrawn as a result as it happens. I found it confusing how transactions were posted/processed too.But overnight, their system sorts all transactions alphabetically, then date, but the most recent transaction displayed first - not by time and date. So my account appears like this:
Date Transaction Narrative Debit (€) Credit (€) Balance (€)
01/07/2008 Referral Fee 5 1995
31/07/2008 Automated Credit 3000 2000
31/07/2008 Direct Debit XXX 20 -1000
31/07/2008 Transfer to XX 1020 -980
30/07/2008 Cash Withdrawal 10 40
one to keep an eye on.
Err.. ok.. go on..I am not a customer of Halifax, nor can I make sense of the transactions details you provided, but ..
No - there were sufficient funds in the account. Thats why the online banking allowed me to transfer to another account. Balance at time of transfer was €3020. If I was to log on now and try to transfer €2000 more than the current balance, I am sure I would be told that this is not possible.IMHO you were charged a fee for not having sufficient funds in your account when an item was presented for payment. A charge described as a referral fee, to me, means that they either bounced, or deferred payment of a cheque/direct debit on your account as there were, at that point in time, insufficient funds to meet payment.
Yes it is a software issue - The software has not ordered the transations in true time - It has sorted and processed them alphabeticallyNot IMHO a software issue, rather a personal finance management issue ?
No DD - It was a manual transfer.On re-reading your post, the DD was paid when you were already OD. If you have no agreed overdraft, then someone had to 'eyeball' the TX and make a decision to pay it.
Yes, I was charged a referral fee. But they refunded it, because of the software issue. But, I had to ring them to point this out.For this, you have been charged a referral fee.
