Both kiranchinnu and I are with Santander. I guess this is more of an bank issue than HO issue.

Hi, I wouldn't really say that, I had no such problems and am with Santander as well, although I I notified my bank to put a note on my account that HO will be applying to take £874 from my account.
But lookng at all the people who've had a similar experience, most of them didn't notify their banks regarding the transaction to be expected and treadted as normal.
Wishing you all the best on your journey.
Hi MwanaKay, did you use debit card or credit card for your application? I used Credit card. I did notify the bank, but bank's response was, it won't be possible to leave a "note" about a transaction that is going to happen, I can only get in contact AFTER the transaction is rejected, etc.
In my case, according to the bank, the transaction got a green light from the bank, fund was allocated, but HO didn't complete the transaction, so the fund was eventually released. I'd say if bank rejected the transaction in the first place, I won't see the available balance drop?
