Icesave: Can't get money out.

My grammar looks OK there to me. The comma (not coma) and the full stop is in the right place. If you want to resort to grammar police tactics make sure you know what you're talking about. As to the rest, I will do what I see fit.

I wasn't referring to your grammar.
I was referring to you entering the wrong character in the Icesave transaction box.
Absolute panic ramping for the sake of it.
My comma error was a typo, just like yours.
The difference being i didn't induce any heart attacks with mine.
As for the full stop, i'd guess that 99% of the UK would call it such.

Your post was pathetic in the extreme.

What are you getting bent out of shape for? I'm not going to get into a fruitless keyboard warrior argument with you so just leave it. You yourself must be nervous by the way you are acting, and it was not my intention to panic anybody. Look back on my posts to see if I have done any scaremongering previously.

By the way i is always I.

That's the last I'm going to say on the subject, what is done is done. I will reiterate though that I have not closed the account.

Well, for what it's worth ... I deposited another £3600 into another Icesave cash ISA today. I feel completely at ease - what on earth are these harbingers of doom expecting to happen?

The total end of the (financial) world as we know it.

Except they're expecting the FSCS to help fund their lifestyle when it happens.

Neither will happen. But if the first does, the second is useless:

"I have a wheelbarrow of paper with the monarch's head on them - can I swap them for some bread?"

It's 6.6% AER. And applies to the web saver account, not the standard savings account. And you can now move money directly into web saver, without going through savings.

Thanks for pointing to that thread. It confirms that I do need to move my money out elsewhere as it is only on additional funds. Although is it worth me moving it out and back in again rather than opening up another account elsewhere.

I never received the chocolates mentioned in that thread either !

Why is everyone rushing to withdraw their funds? Can't you see that if everyone does this the banks will certainly fall? You're protected up to 35k by FSCS, for Kaupthing, and under the passport scheme for Icesave... Just stop panicking please...

Seriously you don't know? Please google Iceland news and read up.
Others have done some research on the Iceland economy and have drawn their own conclusions.
Others are wary that the FSCS/passport scheme will take ages to sort out the failing banks, and in the meantime savers lose interest.

The drying up of credit globally and the fall in Iceland's currency has led to worries the banks may not be able to refinance their debts.
Its three main banks have liabilities that equate to eight times the country's entire gross domestic product, which means they may not be able to turn to the Icelandic Government for help.The Icelandic Krona has fallen 32% against the euro over the last month

You might like to research where this 'protected' money ''magically'' arrives from to 'fund' the FSCS/passport scheme!

Lets hope the adminstrator actually leaves this post on. After all this website is called MONEYSAVER. i.e. SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Last one out turn the lights out.

Call me chicken, but I've just taken all my money out of kaupthing edge and put it in an English building society.

I ain't putting any money in iceland stuff. One of its banks has already keeled over and their money, the crown, is sinking like it was wearing concrete shoes. Soon the only use for their banknotes will be to shred into confetti to throw at weddings instead of rice.

You're not chicken just very sensible.

Another doomster. This is the sort of person that camps out outside his local N Rock branch overnight in the freezing cold to get his money out!
