Could we have a separate thread for people who have opted to retain their Icesave Fixed Term Account to log when they receive compensation application forms from the FSCS? I've read the e-mail covering this and am still confused as to whether they're going to send out forms straight away for us to complete and return, to…

Although 3 month's notice is required, you can give this immediately and then cancel it 2 months later and give a new 3 months notice, so you'd always have access…

This was an unexpected question that I had not seen mentioned anywhere. On the face of it, it seems a rather stupid question. Why…
