I'm looking to switch banks and was wondering if there are any banks out there that'd change my direct debits over for me, instead of me phoning around for hours.
I'm sure I saw an advert on TV for a Bank that boasted about this kind of service.
I'd do it myself but i'm lazy, i'd rather the new Bank did it

iirc they done everything, ie - got all the info from my old bank LloydsTSB on DD's etc & done everything, even upped my overdraft for the switch over period incase there was any misshaps, payments taken early etc!!
