Trouble with debit card online..

What is my card number?

It asks for it, and i never know how much to put in..

Is it the "6767(sortcode 6 digits)(account num 8 digits)"

or am i wrong coz thats what i seem to be doing...

long number across the middle normally.

what type of card is it?
my first direct is random 10 digits + acc number

Your card number is main number running across the card. There is no magical combination of sortcodes' and account numbers' unless that's how your bank generated card numbers.

You do realise your question is rather retarded?

If it's a solo card, then your card number will start 6767. If it's a 19 digit number, it will be 6767<sortcode><accountnumber><check digit>, if it's 16 digits, it will be 6767 then 12 random numbers.

Did you just give us your Debit card? Or is that an Example?

It's most likely fake due to the "1234"s

nah its 6767 and then sort code account num.. i kno for sure as i know my details off by heart, the bank said the reason why they wont let any money out is due to all my money been in my savers and a cheque that online banking says has cleared hasnt yet..

Pretty frustrating to be honest...

It always has worried me that any form of debit card should include your account number - it used to be the case with my NatWest Switch card many years ago.
However at around the same time I stopped getting issue numbers on my card they moved to a system where my account number appears nowhere on the card (I just have it memorised) which in my eyes has got to be safer.
I don't know - I just know I wouldn't want to give a person my bank account number...

I guess you will never write a cheque then?
