I got someone to send a test payment to my account, to try and see where the problem was. I didnt receive the payment. So that would be a problem with my account, right?
I rung my bank again, and insisted the guy speak to his supervisor/manager.
The bank say there is categorically no reason why i should not be receiving payments. I told them 2 different people have sent payments and its not showing. They say their banks MUST be withholding for whatever reason/s, and that they (my bank) are not able to trace payments received anyway, only payments sent, can be traced i.e. the sender has to initiate the trace.
BB, you indicated that your bank said funds WILL eventually be released. Looks like we will have to hang on to that for now.
Will keep checking today, but you may have to insist an escalation of this issue with your bank at some point.
You have my number if you want to call.
Hmm. That's odd that someone else couldn't make a payment either!
The funds have LEFT my own account but not actually LEFT my bank it seems

I mean I have the associated debit going to you [as I showed you in PM] but needless to say you have not received it.
Do you know which bank the other person used?
