Interesting…
In that case, I wonder how long it will be before they sort it out?

strange because my Halifax share dealing account accepts Monzo as my account to withdraw funds to - admittedly after speaking with them - so it should be on the Halifax system
I wonder why BACS can’t just do a blanket email to all those who use their service? Just reminding all of them that they need to accept Monzo or they will be fined?
If we trouble BACS enough, generating a lot of workload for them, they might do something about it. There are thousands and thousands of companies participating in DD Scheme, so some generic newsletter might help us a bit. That being said, I don’t think that BACS can favour specific company and send an email just about them…
I think they can if it becomes clear people aren’t updating sort code databases…and it wouldn’t necessarily have to favour Monzo, just use it as a case in point.
NPower still having issues. No joy over website, live chat or phone now. Twitter team is talking to the payments team now to try and resolve it all
Chased BAC’s today regarding NS&I - responded but there is no update.
I chased my Better Gym query with BACS up, no response yet.
Moving to The Gym Group who are opening a brand new gym near me in early November so if they don’t hurry up, I’ll be cancelling the existing direct debit before they actually get around to changing the details
RateSetter finally caved in and amended my account details to Monzo:
Honestly, it’s such a security that I could make PDF with one logo from Press Kit… and make app mockups from thin air as well. Maybe they checked more, but I don’t think so, lol. But yeah, it’s done.
Legendware (www.legendware.co.uk)
They provide gym membership software to local authorities, currently their systems say the details are inaccurate.
Popping in the gym tonight to fill out a paper version of the mandate, and see if that makes a difference.
NPower won’t switch my direct debit, I’ve tried for days now. Reported to BACS.
Do they provide the back-end software for the Better Gym chain? I’ve had issues with them, ultimately raised it with BACS a couple of weeks ago.
Not sure why you’re all struggling with NPower, worked for me! I just submitted the form 3 or 4 times and it worked after validation failures if I remember correctly
NS&I are now accepting the Monzo sort code.
Well done team!
Damn! I’ve been with their Twitter team, chat team and telephone team and nothing has worked.
Excellent, I can see the direction my complaint might be heading in now .
The Times, no response:
@thetimes Trying to update my DD instruction but you're not accepting @monzo's sortcode (04-00-04) :(

I phoned The Times Subscription helpline to update the DD and it worked over the phone. When updating it online it would hang after entering the new details.
Haven’t had them successfully claim payment yet, so fingers crossed.
Literally just chased this on Twitter, and got the same response. Didn’t check here first!
Well to my surprise I received a letter today and goodwill payment. This will be a good contribution to my expenses for my trip down to London to open the Monzo current account in August. Shows that you should complain if it doesn’t work.
