Banking money question

[Accy cyclist]

My payout for my RTA last year has arrived at the solicitors. They want my bank details so they can transfer the money,but i don't want it paying into our joint account. Instead i'd rather it was put into my own Halifax account. The trouble is i only have a 4 years expired Halifax bank card. It's that long since i used the account, they've stopped sending me a monthly statement. The question is if the solicitors send the money to the Halifax will the account still be open for the money to be transferred? And if so will the Halifax contact me to let me know it's gone into my account?

Seriously, ask a bunch of cyclists or ask the bank themselves?

The card has a number on the back. I've phoned it and been fed music and "If you want so and so press 2" etc for the last 7 minutes! I thought there might be an ex bank manager on here maybe..

You'd need a current bank manger thobut

It may well be registered as deactive in which case the money will not get to the account without a fair bit of faffing about.

Contact the Halifax, tell them what's going on and they will reactivate if necessary. And ask them for a new bank card too

Don't ring 9am or lunchtime unless you like hold music. Later in the evening is often a good time b

She's asked me to buff her thruppenies.

I can give you an account number to pay it into, that aside I suggest that you suffer on the phone a bit more.

btw I expect your bank would have no problem in opening an internet savings account in your own sole name. Mine doesn't (Lloyds)
