I've recently cancelled my Paypal account as I kept having problems with payments being declined, spending hours trying to sort it and then being lectured to by their Customer Services that it was my fault for not having funds (despite plenty of money in my bank account and limits on my cards) the fault of my browser, the fault of my internet service provider, the fault of my mobile phone, the fault of my mobile phone service provider etc. and

That site is a well regarded one in the UK. It was created by Martin Lewis OBE, financial journalist, who earned his OBE for services to consumer rights and to charitable services through the Charity Fund of MSE, including several million pound donations to the Citizens Advice Bureau. He makes regular TV appearances, and has a regular column in four UK newspapers. Alexa rates it in the top 9000 sites globally and 235th in the UK. I can't think of another UK-based financial advice site which you could trust as much as this one...
