667559 2008-05-15 00:42:00 Most likely a mistake in the account number you sent it to. Most banks require a 3 digit code for the account type now. Not all banks have the facility to put in 3 digits. Bantu (52)

Wouldn't there have been a payment error then?

I haven't found that. eg for the national bank it is still 06 , followed by the next 4 numbers. Where does it say that most banks now require 3 digits?

I think he means the last numbers

the 00 or 01 account is sometimes done with 3 characters i think

667563 2008-05-26 02:31:00 Ok I have emailed them, never heard back (15/5/08)
Rung them and left a message on their answer machine, never heard back
Rung and got a person the subscriptions person apparently broke a leg or something, they said they'd get back to me, that was the last i heard

Rang again today (about 20mins ago) and the answer machine says the subscriptions person has left and won't be back till 8am tomorrow

Any suggestions as to what to do next,

I am thinking posting a grumpy message on their forum, but as i use their forum regularly for help with my PC and software related issues, i don't want to burn my bridges.

i am just starting to get a bit pissy, next time i think i'll subscribe to APC

Who's the business? Sounds like a very shoddy and dodgy outfit.

It's not as if you are waiting for the transfer to go through before parts are sent. The time to get pissy is when the June issue doesn't arrive.

Yeah they do tend to go a bit overboard on advertising in their forums which i think is shoddy :)

Paul it's not the waiting, it's more the fact there has been no acknowledgement of the funds being received by them, as a subscriber i would like to get an email that says, you are now subscribed to the magazine and your free bonus set of ginsu knives should arrive in the mail in a week or so, I mean if the funds haven't been received, it would be nice to know so i don't have to wait with bated breath by the letterbox for a magazine that will never come,

667567 2008-05-26 07:02:00 national bank has poor service.I hate the fact how transactions always end up quite late on my account.Normally 2 days late.

Someone deposits money to my account and it arrives the day after.

The best bank I reckon is ASB and kiwibank.They have excellent service.Payment arrives 12am on the dot.National Bank ....Well payment comes up at 3am and direct deposit sometimes appear the day after at some random time
