Hello
The Child Benefit Office in the Irish Republic issued payments to my Alliance & Leciester account in Northern Ireland in July and August. These payments have not shown up in my A&L account. I contacted the Child Benefit Office and they say that the payments where issued through the Bank of Ireland in the republic and so far they have not come back as rejections so they are unwilling to do anything for me, not even request a trace to see what has happened to the payments.
The A&L say that they have not received the payments so they can't do anything. I think the problem occured because I sent my account no as 9 digits and I believe that BACS only uses 8 digits.
I contaced BACS and they say that only the presenting bank can trace it. At the moment I dont know what to do as no-one appears to be willing to find out where these payments went to. To all intent and purposes they appear to be lost in BACS. Which I am told has never happened. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
