Is it like Paypal , do I need to do anything or will it just go into my bank

Its the same as BACS but better and it cost them more to send

Sccroll to near the bottom tells you everything
Have never used it myself Halifax charge £25 per transaction

So who pays the £25 just the sender or both of us

[Dean Aspects]

Reading their site it reads to me that the sender pays i would check with your own bank though especially if you have a business account as they like to charge something for any transaction on them

Hi John, Thomas Higgins & Co sent a letter but with no joy of a relpy, so I have told them to take the company to court (which is about 80 pounds) I have found out on friday the company has gone tits up and have moved, so need to speak with Thomas Higgines & Co to see what is the best way forward really

They sorted mine out , but in the end it cost me £250 in letters and  court costs.

CHAPS is normally only used for large payments, ie if you're buying a house.

There's normally a £25 admin charge so if it's for windows it must be a big un!!  They are more likely to mean BACS

[Majestic]

Yes its for a large amount, its for this job, pics on both pages

It ended up costing them twice my original quote .

[matt]

only the sender pays the fee

you will get the full amount

it normally clears instantly, thus the fee for the check of the amount

This is there web address ,  www.thomas-higgins.co.uk
  give them a ring and you could talk to someone about it .
Also every time you speak to them keep a record of what was said and on what date. If you can get them to put things in emails that will also help.

Hi john, we had a good day, we feel pretty much the same to be honest, still trying to work out the camel story the priest was on about though!!
