They are just being unreasonable.
We pay alot of our employees wages into partners bank accounts.
It is his money and it is up to him where the money is paid into.
You can take them to employees rights tribunal but why don't you just set up a standing order to leave his account to go into your account the day his wages are paid in?
But the answer is yes, you can have your boyfriends wages paid into your account with his permission.
I hope you get this sorted i know how much of a pain splitting bills can be! |

I wouldn't have thought it mattered what name the account is in. Get him to ask them for a reason.
Could this be because they want to pay him in cash for tax avoidance reasons? Are they a bit dodgy? |

Puit "his" name on your account if you trust him.

Most organisation will always say no to such a request. This is to protect them from fraud and it was in placebefore money laundering regulations were in place. If they give him a cheque (this is your only option), its not going to help much because most cheques are not transferable and can therefore not be banked into a third person's accout and he can not cash it in a bank because he has no ID. When is his driving licence coming back. He must talk nicely to his employers and you must also go personaly to your bank to find out whether there is a solution. i am sorry but I think you are screwed. I had all the relavent documentation including passport it took me 2 months to open an account. There are shops which can change cheques but they will charge your an arm and 2 legs. If you succed in getting his salary paid to your account make sure that when he gets his account opened the money goes to his account to avoid a war between the two of you. |

I would have thought that if he writes a letter formally authorising the wages to be paid to a given account, that might be OK, it's really none of their business where his money goes; on the other hand, it's up to them to decide on their payment procedures and rules, and if they won't go along with this he just needs to open a current account at a bank and set up a standing order to transfer the money to your account. |

Normally, one would say a joint account should present no problems. But your "additional details" suggest that you'd better look at those details pretty closely. Perhaps someone at the bank or at the Agency (odd that you capitalize it; and what countries are we talking about here, what with lost passports and all???) can assist you in how to work this out. It's those details that are the problems, apparently. |

Open a joint account with First Direct, the best bank in the UK. You don't have to be married to open an account together. This should prevent the problem from happening. |

They are being difficult. If he signs the form stating where he wants the money paid then that's where they must pay it. They will not take instruction from you though which may be the problem.
Alternatively he can set up a standing order from his account to yours every payday, he just needs to ask his bank. |

Of Course it is possible, the company he works for is simply trying to avoid any legal problems. Legal counslors of companies always warn the finance department against such requests in order to avoid any future headaches. What your boy friend needs to do is sign a salary transfer request stating your name, account number & contact information and of course sign it, once that is done, they have no excuse but to execute the transfer.
I also have another suggestion that could be easier and less time consuming. Your B.F can go to his bank and issue a periodic transfer request that stipulates that a certain amount of cash is transffered to your account every month. This should not take him 10 minutes and will save you the hassle of going through the red tape of his company. |

It can be paid into your account just provide the account number. they are just being pathetic. But why doesn't he consider opening an account himself and doing a standing order to transfer the money to you or even opening a joint account? |

There should be no problem.
Maybe it would be best though if you took a standing order from his own account to cover his share of the bills. If you control all the money it may not be good for the relationship. The boy needs some independence!! |

Go to Citizen's Advice. In the meantime, can you not just open up a new account and if necessary transfer the wages from there into your account? Maybe they have had bad experiences in the past - eg with people having their money taken off them by unscrupulous people. Is there a reason you've not mentioned why your boyfriend can't have an account in his own right? |

yes any one can have anything paid into your account providinghe has your sort code and account number... but remember he wont be able to go into the branch and take them out or use your cash card unless u give him the card and pin which u cant tell the bank u are doin as they will go nuts as u are making you account unsecure then. hope this helps |

My partner had her wages paid into my account for several months without any problem, I think you will find that the agency are just being awkward.
When it came to opening an account for her I changed a couple of the bills (gas and electric) to joint names and the banks accepted that as id.
With all the identity theft he really should report his passport lost and apply for a new one. |

Two of my friends moved to the UK from Sweden and as they didn't have a bank account, they had their money paid into my account for a while. Their employers didn't seem to mind about that. I think the agency is being out of order, you can choose where your money goes. |
