What's counted as a "new" ISA?
I opened an ISA with Alliance & Leicester this April and have been trying ever since to get them to transfer the money I had in my account with Icesave. I haven't put any new money in either account.

Opening Icesave ISA (Existing Customer)
As an existing Icesave customer, how do I open an Icesave ISA? This may sound a daft question, but I followed the link which says: Existing Icesave Customers Log in to open an account in under a minute LOG IN but once logged in, I can't see any way to open a new account.

Hi all! Hope this isn't a silly question or one thats been asked too many times! :o Since I have bought a house I closed all my savings accounts apart from a normal monthly saver.

A&L Direct ISA Issue 4 *hassles*
After reading various positives about the A&L Direct Isa 4, we decided as a family that we would apply. (This was April 2008) 4 of us applied on-line and after 4 weeks, we recieved letters requesting copy of passport and ID. We returned these straight away. On these forms we put the details of our former ISA provider, as…

Natiowide ISA. Do we have ANY power at all?
...or are we pretty much at the banks mercy? It's kind of comforting (in a sadistic way) to know that I'm not the only one having severe problems transferring ISAs into Nationwide.

clarification request re stocksshares isa
I have put £3600 into a cash ISA THIS YEAR [2008/09]. Currently I continue to subscribe £25 per month to Abbey stocks/shares isa. That means I still have £3300 which I can still put in a new ss isa.
