Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Hi all

I have a Halifax current account which I plan to use to create a new ebay stealth account

Am I able to open a savings account with Halifax and use this account to set up another separate ebay stealth account?

Many thanks

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Hi
I use a Halifax current account on one of my stealth accounts and its been as good as gold, Saver account is no good to use,

If you want another current account to use try RBS/Natwest same peeps, Santander, Barclay's all good for stealth accounts never had issue with these.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Nonsense, Halifax online savers are fine for stealth, work like a dream for me.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Each to there own dude, I go from my experience alone.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Then you are doing something wrong.

Halifax savers, like Natwest Savers, are a stealthers wet dream. If you have had issues, then I suggest you look at your techniques and not just make some vague, blanket statement dismissing them.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

My old account was linked to my natwest current which got suspended, can in use the savers account linked to that natwest account to create a stealth account?

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I go from experience and say to avoid Halifax like the plague :)

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Yes you can use a saver, paypal will see nothing to connect these accounts. Only the sort code will be the same in their eyes.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Yes I note you posted this and similar multiple times. You do though seem to be very much in a minority of experienced stealthers to have an issue here.

It would be nice if you could give some background and facts to qualify your statements. If a newbie came on here and made such a statement without backing it up with facts they would rightly get a bit of stick. Just because you are an experienced account seller, I don't think you should be allowed to make such uncorroborated claims either. ;)

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Makes no odds if I am a minority - I do nothing different in stealth to anyone else on this forum.

I can make FACTUAL CLAIMS THAT HAVE HAPPENED (how do you exactly plan on corroborating my story..?! I don't just type for fun) whereas others come on here with no experience just trolling. I've already explained in another thread a while back what happened although I won't be going into detail but mismatch names are problematic and eventually you WILL have issues and I firmly believe that down the line in years to come that mismatch names (personal and premier accounts) will become a problem.

Easy workarounds for that though if it did happen.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Since nobody knows EXACTLY what every other stealther is doing all of the time, this is impossible to state as a fact.

We are not talking about personal and premier, the topic is savers. Just because you have had issues with your accounts because you may have made errors, doesn't mean an experienced stealther running theirs in a proper manner will.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I wasn't talking about savers. You asked about my experience with Halifax and I went onto further my point by saying that I believe that mismatch names in the future will be a problem.

When I said nothing different to others with stealth I meant - we all withdraw under mismatch names and that is the issue here.

Also, I never said that we all do the same is a fact but what is a FACT is we withdraw under mismatch names. The factual claims I make are my own experience, so yes that is fact.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

This is good to know, I've made a Halifax account especially but I have a Saver I could have used with Natwest instead!

Is there anything that requires to be done differently as it is a saver or is the process as per the Stealth book the same?

I read somewhere that as it is a saver account, there will be an issue with a direct debit mandate? If you could kindly explain it would be greatly appreciated, cheers

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

You add the saver to verify the account and then remove the saver (this cancels the direct debit thing) and then just hit withdraw to add it again.

Think thats right, I'm too lazy to bother making my own accounts but read it here lol

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Don't make things more complicated than they have to be.

Absolutely no need to remove the saver and re add it, just leave it on. You will still be able to withdraw to it perfectly fine as long as you practice safe stealth techniques.

You will get a message a few days later saying something along the lines of '...your bank has let us know you cant use your account ending xxx...' etc....but just ignore it. Done this over a period of time on 20+ savers from natwest, halifax and boi and had no issues whatsoever. I would certainly be inclined to make the case that this makes the stealth look a more 'natural' account than someone who uses the 'add account, remove account, re-add same account' method.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

It is also worth remembering that on Halifax and Natwest there is the ability to easily open 3 or 4 savers on the main accounts, over time, even if that 'main bank account' is paypal blacklisted.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Halifax saver is not a good option they closed one down I used for PayPal I presume they saw the name was different

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

:nono: They closed it down because you were using accounts of an under 18 year old...a child, you halfwit. :doh:

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Halifax accounts are too sensitive. Unless the accounts are is in you own name I would not go anywhere near them if using stealth accounts.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I would hope you are using bank accounts in your REAL NAME anything else is completely illegal and not to be spoke about on the forum

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

That's advanced stealth :)

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I think ,(hope), there are some crossed wires here.

Are you suggesting Mark that Halifax only works with you for 'stealth', by still using your own name or a variation of it?

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

No son, that's 4 years bird. :mod:

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I don't no why u want to insult me?

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

have u got a small cock? :cheer:

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

have an opinion and leave the insults for your pig of a wife
good night

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Lol.....:rolleyes:

The fact is Steve, many people blame everyone and everything else for their stealths failing, except own up to their own mistakes.

You had your halifax closed because because you used a childs account belonging to your stepson and pushed through paypal payments. Of course using a minors account to receive payments only an over 18 can legally receive is going to get flagged, and it resulted in you being contacted and the account closed.

This is not me making things up.....these are the facts that you have posted on here yourself.

Don't though try and make out that it was purely down to mismatched names that resulted in Halifax closing 'your' account. That is just being economical with the truth, and depicts an inaccurate picture of what went on.

Anyone with half a brain should know that you simply can not expect to put payments meant exclusively for an adult through a kiddies account. Hence your qualification for halfwit status, although you deserve to be called much worse for making such a dumb move.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I would just like to add I use Halifax 18+ Saver accounts for my Ebay stealth accounts ( Some in a varied name & some in a complete different name ) & have had no issues for over 2 Years :thumb:

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I learnt that saver accounts are not the best way forward and yes i am not a paypal or ebay expert I learnt from my mistakes
and i make 99% of money buying,renting and selling houses not on ebay
so thats where most of my time is spent

Amen

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

If you really lived off buying and renting houses and were successful at it, then not only would you have very little need for full stealth, but you would have literally zero need for using mis-matched names on bank/saver accounts attached to your stealths.

*sniff* *sniff* .....eww what's that I can smell?

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I do agree with Callidus. Hallifax is fine for a very short term but they DO monitor your account and they will shut you down.

They have become more brutal recently.

Which does not surprise me since they are linked to lloyds.

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I don't care what u believe u mean nothing to me I look down at you little man

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I don't see eBay as a get rich scheme or even close I can make deals on property
For a lot of money and that's my retirement fund sorted and I have just bought a stealth bomber bike for 10k and built a cinema room in my house so u can shove it where the sun don't shine

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

At least someone agrees with me :FF:

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Don't embarrass yourself. I have a picture that you took showing your front room, and it looks 10 foot square at the most, that two seater cream sofa overlaps the entrance to the doorway where it is so small. ;)

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

That's not my house dummy I rent my 5 bed out for a grand a month that's her place
Lol

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

She lives in a ex council house in a prime location that I can buy for 100k cash and sell for 200k after 3 years that's my next purchase lol
That's a lot of eBay sales to make 100k so u plod on pal

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

Whatever you say Nader......oops I mean Steve :)

Re: Halifax Bank Account and Saver
 

I remember seeing steve's living room. It didn't look like a lounge anyone with cash would wish to sit in.

I certainly wouldn't. If I remember correctly there was a skanky sofa, and an even skankier dog, which, at the time I recall insulting.
