I hadnt claimed my TRS for 2years and waited approx 9/10 weeks for this to clear from the tax office side. No problems there as I knew there was a wait time.
Once it was cleared, the bank I have the mortgage with then started to feed the TRS payments through a bit at a time. I was expecting a lump sum. After two months of this I rang and queried the bank who avoided the question of the lump sum payment and started to give me information on my next installment and the amount. I rang TRS and they confirmed that the bank is not entitled to pay the sum back in small amounts and I was to ask for the whole lump sum payment.
Duly armed with this info, I talked to the bank and the whole amount was paid within the week. Happy days..
One to watch out for perhaps.
