Thank you Naomi and so quick

hmm a Leeds postcode but location of south and west midlands. Doesn't gel.

Don't think you've got the address of the branch (and it's probably not one anyway) but of a processing centre.

[jakpaz]

I think its because it is an Agency and not main Branch, thanks anyway

Can you tell us why you need to know? With all banks using processing centres and callcentres now I am always puzzled as to why anyone would need to know the address for a sort code, and usually no-one explains why they want to know.

factor30 - here is the reason why we have so many people with sort code enquiries.

Collecting banking sort codes is the new trainspotting.

Your typical collector has greasy hair, jamjar bottom specs,usually mended with sellotape or elastoplast, dandruff, an assortment of arresting physical defects and wears a woolly hat, an anorak, fingerless gloves, tracksuit bottoms tucked into their socks and ratty old trainers. They always have in their possession a tartan flask full of tea, jam sarnies in greasproof paper and a notebook, all contained in a plastic shopping bag.
They loiter around cashpoint machines, hoping to collect discarded receipts so that they can add another sort code number to their collection.

The correct name for these people is "Sortcode bankers"......or something that rhymes with it.

I was filling in a form to donate a monthly amount to the nspcc, and they asked for the address of the bank, I have had this acount for about 30 yrs. and moved house seven times, I cannot remember the address of the bank, and I thought the sort code would give me the address. In reply to Mrs_overall do you think it funny to type cast people like that? well your name says it all.

[factor-fiction]

Yes this is probably the only good reason I know of on for needing a sort code- direct debit and standing order requests do ask for the bank address.

But I don't know why organisations ask this as the piece of paper will get processed eventually in some bank processing centre in the middle of nowhere or overseas.
So does anyone know why forms ask for the address- the sort code will tell the bank where to send it. I suspect they only refer to the address if the sort code is entered incorrectly.

mrs_o makes a fair point.

[jakpaz]

why does she have a point? I have a perfectly logical reason for wanting the banks address she was just being rude whilst trying to be funny

I was not having a dig at you personally. This section is awash with people wanting info on bank sort codes.
You obviously have taken it personally rather than as the lighthearted piece it was meant to be.

I can deduce three things about you.
1. You have no sense of humour.
2. You have no initiative. If you had, you could have found out the information you needed via Google in a nanosecond.
3. You are very touchy. Was there something in my description that hit a nerve?

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Just read reply from mrs overall.What a rude person you are.Who do you think you are?

[jakpaz]

Thanks kent18 was beginning to think it was just me being sensitive, but she is very rude, how dare she try and deduce things about me, I had tried to find this information on google that was how I found this site, but if she is the type of person who is on here I dont think I'll bother any more.

[dzug]

Yes but surely the address is on your cheque book - or statement. As much of it as you need for the form anyway.

[jakpaz]

They always ask for a full address including postcode, welI dont think postcodes were even invented when I opened this account, why am I justifying my question to all you people? ???????????????????? just mind your own business if you dont have an answer for me, dont you have anything better to do???

[mrs_overall]

dzug asked you something simple.....and you have the nerve to call me rude?

Unbelievable!

[jakpaz]

He did'nt ask me anything he made a statement and presumed that I was too thick to look on my cheque book or statement for the address if it was that simple I would'nt have posted on here in the first place, beginning to wish I had'nt now

[mrs_overall]

Well don't let us keep you.
