I finally to get through to the right office in the MoD, after much confusion and stress I might add, but I think that's what they are there for!!
Apparently, notification to our personal financial institutions was released yesterday. I have just come off the phone to my bank here.
but as yet nothing has filtered down to them.
my plan is that I will give it until C.o.P. Monday, Which gives them two business days to sort their crap out. As soon as I confirm my bank has received the notice I will let you know, and likewise can you do the same for us?
