MBNA Statement Download

Has anyone else had a problem downloading an MBNA credit card statement
recently? Normally I have no problem, but tonight I am getting an error
message saying the file is invalid or contains corrupt data. Tried
downloading both .ofx and .gif formats with the same error message.

If you are using IE, make sure you have tools-internet options-advanced-do
not save encrypted pages to disk box unchecked (empty)

Cheers

Hi Pete
it's worth checking the OFX download just to see whether there is an
unexpanded & symbol in there (should be expanded to &)

I too have just started getting this problem. I have tried all the
suggestions above and checked for unexpanded & (there arent any).

It's worth trying the OFX analyser on the OFX statement, just in case, and a
repair on the money file. You can find the analyser via
