Well I had my own debit card about a month ago and been using it to buy odd things from eBay and paying for my webhosting etc

well I went to tesco cash machine to take £10 out and It said insufficient funds

So I checked my balance and it said £13 something well I would think that I have the money to take out so why cant I

i am also with Halifax so any advice i am also a nab at debit card things i usually pay everything by cash

£13 may be your account balance, but you're available balance may be lower than that due to any recent transactions?

or you're account may need '£X' for it to remain open?

If you're still unsure, then contact your bank.

It's time to overcome that fear xD.
If they make you feel small just go to their bank, ensure you bought a fork or a spoon with you (for the extra toughness) and demand answers! Works for me!

Good luck with that!

If you bought something 72hours before, it'll still say your balance is £19 even though it's not, below that it will say how much you have in your account that you may withdraw there and then. it takes 3/5 days for our previous order to confirm transaction so wont take that cash out ur account straight away, it'll just block you from spending that dosh till its cleared. :P
