    As long as you have your Icesave account number you'll be fine, that's all you'll need

    Paper records? I don't want to alarm you, but it's the 21st century! In many cases, digital records hold just as much sway as paper ones, if not more.
    Really & what "digital" records do you have ?
    How would you supply it to a bank, government & court so that it was admissable in a Court of Law ?

    So what it's 21st century, why do you think Cash is still used ??

    Why do you think in times of crisis people start buying Gold.

    Where was people's money when Iceland stopped access to the Icesave accounts ?

    Britain has declared war on Iceland over the Icesave accounts, for £not honouring its obligations.

    Just like the fishing cod war, Iceland will win.

    Good news,

    I saw on the web that the goverment are going to back the whole £50K.
    Called the FSCS and they have confirmed that is now happening if iceland default on the first 20K euro's. Good news for all and great news for people with under £16K in.
    Yes, I saw Darling Alistair say this on GMTV at 8am.
    I am very relieved but still upset for those with more to loose.

    Cheating Vikings! Icelandic prawns off the menu at my house now, along with Thai prawns after the weekends news about their dodgy farming methods.

    That's a bit complicated for a technophobe like me. Wouldn't a simple screenshot do the trick as proof?

    You could easily be accused of altering it - increasing your balance level, on a simple screenshot.

    Live video-recording, showing you browse page-to-page, seeing security certificate, is much better proof in my opinion.

    but the screenshot will have your account number on it, and you can print it out. Surely you're not suggesting Icesave are going to deny all knowledge of people ever having had accounts with them?

    A guy on HPC is worried that might be the case for his account. He logs in but nothing coming up for his account.

    Using this video recording software, for all the 5 minutes it takes to download and install, and then video record a file, might save you a lot of panic if that happens to your Icesave account, or problems hit another financial group.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to the savings and investments board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email !!!!!!.

    It was getting quite a lot of replies where it was!
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
