I've just had one who messaged for a meet an hour away. Asked for bareback at extra (duh no) asked if I had any outfits. All set. Log on and he deletes his profile.

Fuming as I've just turned someone else down. Time to update my Q&A to 1st time meetings on booking form only. Thats 5 in a week.

Don’t ever get ready for someone until you get a deposit. That’s what I’ve learned.

Yea don’t do personal banking as you have to disclose your real name. You can do vouchers online like amazon for example or a business bank account. Don’t use PayPal (in my experience) they can reverse the charge far too easily in my opinion.

Personal bank accounts can received funds without disclosing the account name, I have received a couple this week and have done so for the past 5+ years. I know there are new regulations coming in, however the transfer can still proceed at the senders risk without the name(just as it does so now).

I’ve heard of the new laws coming in that’s why I had said not to go down that route and look at others. The last thing you need is it being rejected and left in a pinch sorting something last minute.

Get another paypal for your business under your business account.  If you don't have a business account yet, you can still receive the money but you can't upload it to the same bank account as your personal one but....you CAN transfer it!

I've researched quite a bit the proposals  being brought in don't reject the payment, they recommend the sender checks the details and is sure they are correct before going ahead. I've already changed the wording on the bank details template I send, advising of this.

Has anyone used the "Pay a Contact" service otherwise known as "PayM" that pretty much all of the major UK banks are connected too? All you have to do is register it and apparently all the payer would need is your mobile number which you can connect to your bank account. I've checked my Halifax account and it does give you the option of adding two mobile numbers aswell (civvy and work phone)

This is what my Halifax app says  -

"Start receiving payments today using just your mobile phone number. It couldn't be simpler and only takes a few minutes to register.

Pay a Contact is part of Paym, a wider service which enables payments using a mobile number to be sent to other participating banks and building societies. Payments can be made through Internet and Mobile Banking.

Payments can be arranged quickly and securely, with money being transferred directly between bank accounts. All you need to do is to link your mobile phone number with your account and that’s it."



And this is what the PayM website states -

"You can send a payment using the banking app or online banking of any participating bank or building society.

Just log in as usual, select a contact or enter a recipient’s mobile number and press send*. The exact way this process works depends on your banking app – click your bank or building society’s logo on this page for more detailed instructions."


Would be interested in finding out if anyone has had any success receiving payment transfers this way!

Yes, I used this in the past. I stopped abruptly when a client informed me that Halifax (my bank) asked him to confirm my real account name and told him what it was! :FF I mean, what was the point then?  >:(
This was years ago - long before the extra checks were being introduced by the way..

I never used it again and now send my bank details and ask them to write the date in the name section.

As far as I know, the clients I have asked know only this Information, nothing else.

I do worry that it depends on the individual's bank and some clients will be informed of my name..  :-\

I use that bank and in the last 5+ years no one has ever been pressed for the name/as far as I know given it apart from one person at the counter paying directly into my account which cannot be done any more.

Of course some might have been told and they simply haven't mentioned it.

I receive and continue to receive umpteen transfers without the account name.

When the new regs come in however if the person has a partial name,  some banks say they may (and you can opt out of this) share the correct name.

Guys can do chargebacks (up to 3 or 6 months) and PayPal will shut you down and keep your money if they think you're getting payments for an adult transaction.

How would paypal know unless it is being done very frequently?  I am talking about a short term interim situation and what is the bigger risk?  Them knowing your bank account number? Or them 'possibly' charging back the money months later?

Let's not get paranoid, don't save up £100s of pounds in your PP account, that would save the worry of them halting your money.  I transferred the money out of my work email to my verified personal one as a 'sale' I lost a couple of pounds on it, but it is worth it for my peace of mind.  My work paypal account is now empty, what is there to charge back? There is no card on the account.

Ok, I googled card reader and it is what I thought it was, but doesn't one need a business account to use one?
If someone has not yet set up their business account that is not much of a help. Does having a card reader help with deposits?

Ok and with the tickbox via paypal thing, wouldn't that happen when they send the payment, in which case, will the payment be sent at all?  I honestly have no history of clients asking for money back, I only had one person send me money through paypal and lots of people who offer to without cash usually want to do a bank transfer.

I've just had this re. my NatWest business account:

Last November we let you know all major banks had signed up to a new industry code, Confirmation of Payee (CoP).

CoP is an account name checking service that will check if the payment details entered for a person or business match the details their bank holds.

These new rules are coming into effect now and while all UK banks will be introducing Confirmation of Payee, they may launch this service at different times. So it’s important that you take some steps now to make sure future payments aren’t delayed.

What do I need to do? 

Receiving payments 

When receiving any single UK Faster Payment and CHAPS sterling payments:

•   If you’re asking someone to pay you, make sure they’re aware of the correct name to use i.e. your exact account name, which may be different from your trading name. 

•   Make sure any parts of your business that deal with payment-related customer queries are aware of CoP and can provide the correct details to payment originators.

 

Making payments

When making any single UK Faster Payment and CHAPS sterling payments: 

•   If you’re creating a new payee or amending one in Online Banking or Bankline, it’s important to make sure you have the correct name of the account you’re making the payment to.

 •   Review any payee details you have stored in Online Banking or Bankline to ensure that the details you already have are correct. You should pay particular attention to those where you make payments to a payee infrequently or haven’t made a payment for a while.

 •   You’ll also need to specify whether the payment is being sent to a personal or business account.
