    the T's account is a joint one, and we BOTH have our own individual ISAs too! Aargh!)

    Then the Tesco account cant't be an ISA?

    The clue is in the I..........

    Ahh - got you. My usual "home" is DFW, not familiar with this board so much!

    Hi EssexHebridean,

    Thanks for the heads up even if it was not intended that way. :)

    You will have stopped many of us on the MSE forum panicking wildly upon receipt of our emails. I only checked mine after reading your post.

    I certainly would have been greatly concerned and contacted Tesco. In fact I will now go on their (excellent) forum and check out the fallout!

    It kind of was as my first thought (hope!) was "this MUST" be an error, and also that I didn;t mind betting there were others who'd got the same!

    Precisely - so if they've somehow managed to register it as an ISA then it's an even bigger problem!
    The fact is however, they have sent out emails saying that people DO hold ISA's with them... Pretty much guaranteed to cause alarm, that! (Especially bearing in mind how many recipients of the MSE email would have one of those accounts, and also an ISA!)

    You can't set up Tesco's current accounts to pull DDs so no danger of this happening
    I have a DD set up to pay my Tesco Bank credit card from my Tesco Bank current account with the first one due out towards the end of this month.

    All of a sudden I am a bit worried about Tesco Bank making mistakes..

    Just had another email from them, this time asking for feedback because "You recently called Tesco Bank and we would love to hear about your experience". I've never phoned Tesco Bank.

    It's as if every message in their system is being sent to every customer.

    I'm a big fan of Tesco bank but their email system has been unreliable for a few months now. I have balance alerts setup and they consistently come through 2 or 3 days late which is less than useful, the first of these caused me to make a duplicate transfer until I figured out what was going on. I routinely disregard their emails now or treat them as advisory at best
