Halifax web saver
The rates has dropped from 7% to 6.5% for the 3 months fixed. Do you think the rate will continue to fall? I would assume that the initial 0.5% is just an immediate fall and they may reduce the rates o sub 6% very soon. What do you think? I have missed the 7% but wondering if I should go for the 6.5% now...... opinions!?

Wanting to save, but I'm not allowed too!
I know someone who is on Income Support and DLA . (They have an illness which makes it impossible to work.)
