12% to 0.1% interest rate drop in 12 months?
I'm just wondering if this would come close to a new world record as far as drops in savings account interest rates go? :j I took out a Halifax Regular Saver account in 2008 at 10% plus a bonus of 2%. I paid in £500 each month for a year & in 2009 it paid out a few hundred pounds interest. I kept paying £500 in to it every…

Egg refuse to close off internet access to my closed accounts!
I have just closed a credit card account with Egg, and once that was all sorted I asked for internet access to the closed account to be removed so that no-one could log in to my account. This was for security reasons mainly as it seemed daft to have an account just sitting there when I was never going to use it again. Egg…

NS&I - Index-linked calculator screwed up again
Just like last month, NS&I have changed the date of the RPI announcement (again, to the wrong date) but failed to change any of the data. It took them two or three days to correct the data last month, and two or three weeks to correct the announcement date. I hope they calculate my returns more competently when I cash in!

The two branches I have ever visited (Liverpool and Cambridge) do cash, but what do the non-cash branches look like? Are they even branches or just offices? And why have two types of branches - surely this is…
