    Congratulations to Adam Croft for his £500 compo payment. That Ulster esaver must be one of the best savings accounts ever!! :)

    Shows that complaining right to the top echelon is the right thing to do.

    This is turning into a major own goal for UB. I wonder how long the 1.25% will last?

    Great news! Thank you for pursuing this, especially critical for savers like myself who ironically got this account to save for mortgage deposit and am now at risk of having mortgage declined after this credit check!

    Is there an estimate for the removal of the search? I'll keep a look out at the end of this month on Credit Club.

    Anyone had the hard credit check removed from their file yet?

    My MSE Experian report has updated today and the Royal Bank of Scotland hard enquiry search on the day I applied for the Ulster esaver (7th Aug) is still there.
