So PayPal just deposited money into your bank account and Halifax closed the bank account because of that? Sounds like there is a bit more to it than that.

What sort of monetary value was the deposit? Have you opened and closed a lot of accounts with Halifax in a short space of time?

You must have been doing something wrong as i have multiple stealth accounts with them and have no problems.

Its also not good when a bank closes your account. They tend to report it to the credit reference agencies and its stops others from letting you open accounts.

I can explain this (in the industry bla bla bla)

Your sons account is a youth account and not a full current account opened by an adult. By using it for deposits of money fromother sources raises questions that it is not being used for the purpose of your son. It would also be the case for any childs account receiving funds in that way.

They have the right to close an account if they deem it not being used for purpose and they did here.

Edit: I am surprised that they closed it before writing though. Did the paypal reference say 'crack money for kids' on it or something? :P

What's so funny about your stupdity?

You made the error by misusing another person's account.

I feel sorry for your son. You know better than doing stupid stuff like this in his name.

Do you currently use all 6 or are you able to close one? because you can do it online

Also if you apply for another Easy Cash card you will be able to make more savings accounts. (3 more if i remember)

You can have a lot more than 6 bank accounts

Walk up your local high street, chances are you will walk past more than 3 banks. You can easily have 2/3 accounts with each bank. That is 9 already.

No need to use other peoples bank accounts, just go out and own some more yourself.

Best thing may have been to look towards another bank for now.

Fair number of them about, no need to stick to just one.
