Basically Ive bouht somethign off someone and payed £50 via Paypal. I deleted my old Barclays account that was redgistered to it and entered my new one. Anyways I sent off the payment successfully but checked my Barclays online banking and its charged my old account still! :mad:

Now this account doesnt have any money in it so they have put me in the -£50 and ill be charged commmision for it!!

Will I be able to transfer £50 to my old account via Online Banking and it will be sorted?

or will I be in the crapper and have to go down to Barclays / ring Paypal...?

Help

It says on my OLD account on my Barclays Online Banking thing this...

Does that mean ill be charged Commsion TOMMROW and can i still put money into it and not be charged?!?!

You can transfer over immediately using barclays online banking, paypal are always using my old account for some random reason so i just transfer my money over :/

You can see from the statement that Paypal debited you £50 then they have put that money back in, so effective balance is £0, but Barclays have then charged you £8 (they have changed the way they charge you, going from £22 once a week to £8 each day for so many days i seem to recall) comission for going into an unauthorised overdraft. So by transferring £60 in it's paid the £8 charge and left you with £52 out of your £60.

Best bet is to phone barclays today and explain the situation, refer them to the fact the money went out and straight back in and so long as you dont habitually go ito your overdraft they should refund the £8.
