    I wouldn't count your chickens. I have £2k in a 2 year fixed with Icesave that I have emotionally written off. I think it's just a matter of time.

    I'll put my claim in but I doubt it will be paid in full or in a timely fashion.

    What utter rubbish.

    Irresponsible posting at its height.

    And if you did think that, you'd withdraw the money and save it elsewhere, but instead you are leaving it there, "emotionally written off", posting this utter nonsense on forums.

    It's in a 2 year fixed rate bond. I would withdraw it if I could.
