Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Yes just picking up on what James said there, you haven't found you have had any problems with Lloyds then eternity?, many people on here seem to have had problems with them, having said that it has often been down to mismatched names, maybe with you mentioning that you are careful to just use a name variation and not a completely different name has helped you to avoid problems like that with Lloyds. Also interesting you found problems with RBS and Natwest who closed down your accounts completely. I have said before I am personally not convinced by the 'split' between certain banks, as in the case here you mentioned about RBS and Natwest with the former trying to put out a public persona of being Natwests parent, same with Lloyds and TsB, who also were one and the same.

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Often if you have an issue with Natwest you will have an issue with RBS and vise versa. They both share the same banking licence.

Halifax, BOS and Lloyds are all part of the same group but have different baking licences.

Lloyds is under one banking licence and Halifax and BOS are together under another. This means that Lloyds is more separate to Halifax than Halifax is to BOS

True Rosie Tosie.

I had read many people had issues with Lloyds.
I never ran into a problem with them because of my name variation.

But Natwest and RBS were a nightmare.
I only opened these accounts when I moved.
And I didn't like their customer service either.

From all the banks I had. I like Bank Of Scotland. Maybe that's due to me having a bank account for many years.

Natwest and RBS I would never touch again. RBS was good until Natwest came along and made things different.

How long are PayPal taking to review the docs?

I sent some in. This is for a real account. Have sent it since 9th February.

Seriously. The worst company in the world are eBay and PayPal yet they are the most powerful.

I hate them like a vengeance but love them.

Just wish good old eBay and PayPal days come back.

If you havent reached the receiving limits then it can take up to 30 days :shocked:

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Just have to wait it out. Annoying.

Around 4 weeks if you are under the £1650 limit at the moment

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

My stealth docs went through really nice around a month ago. Though I had to call to make something moving.

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Good active move - nice to hear of a success story

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Never a good idea to ring....

Just need to be patient

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

For me, it seems that it is nice to send docs in, wait a couple of days, then call them just 10 minutes before they close (like at 16:20 GMT). The are all in a hurry to run to a local pub, so they look at everything with half-closed eyes and instantly accept everything. Maybe this is luck, but works for me.

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Am I right to think that you operate with VCC and VBA? That would explain the whole Gung Ho approach to eBay and stealth in general.

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

VCC. What so wrong about it? :/

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Does work at times. It all depends who the customer agent is.
At times, I have found if you just talk in a very friendly manner and be polite, the job is done.

But most of the time. One agent can can solve it until the next agent comes along and destroys it by claiming that the previous agent got it all wrong!:shocked:

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

Nothing is wrong with it, I was just under the impression that you have a freedom of VBA as well because if I could open accounts using VBA and VCC, I'd be as Gung Ho as you. Nothing wrong with that approach as you have nothing to lose, but when real bank accounts are on the line and real credit score, then things get a bit tricky.:typing:

Re: Has Anyone Docs have declined since the rules?
 

It seems I am a lucky guy who lives in a country where everything is just perfect for doing stealth :)

Loosing bank accounts is bad, but it is quite simple to have like 4 accs in separate banks, totaling 25 as easy. And if limit is reached, one can travel to a neighbor country like Estonia or Lithuania and open another 25 accounts there. But, as Entropay works like a charm, no need for that. I guess I need to create more activated PPs before they change their mind about Entro.

If he says that everything is wrong, what exactly can he deny?
