Have you received 2nd Icesave e-mail?

It's been suggested on the thread nilrems camp for the disappointed to seek solace!
that we carry out a poll to check how many people are awaiting their second e-mail to claim compensation from FSCS for their Icesave accounts.

Just a simple yes no poll.

Thanks for looking

Hey Icesaver, why not link to this poll in your first post so that people who vote no can bookmark/subscribe ready to vote again when received?

http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...html?t=1302785

Edit: looking at week 1 and week 2 polls, 132 received emails week 1 and 99 received week 2. Deduct a few for prank votes.

    As I said back in your 'camp' thread figures could be distorted as peeps who have had their 2nd may no longer be seeking solace on the forum; for that reason I expected more no's than yes's but it is quite a big difference I agree.

    Yes, but they may come back to gloat/pontificate about great the FSCS is. :D

    Isn't that a tad pessimistic? (she asked tongue firmly in cheek) Hope we will all be able to YES by then!

    Simple 'no' from this end but who needs a second email if the money is already accounted for ;)
  • Much as I would love to vote 'yes' I'm afraid I'm with 75% of you in having to vote 'no'
