    For the hundredth time THE UK GOVERNMENT PAID ING TO TAKE ON THESE DEPOSITS, probably the full $2.5bn. Do you really think the UK government would then let ING NOT pay it out to UK depositors? Or get some assurance up front that the money would go back to UK depositors?

    Why is it that most people put a lot more faith in the totally mixed messages they are recieving over the phone from a group of overwhelmed, demotivated and probably un-informed and under-trained customer srvice staff MORE than the official IN WRITING announcements from HM treasury or ING? Unbelievable

    I hope you are right

    ING Direct is continuing to work through the backlog of payments and can also confirm that customers will not lose interest because of this delay.

    Lets see some evidence then!!!
    CHAPS 8th received 20th into HSBC A/C
    BACS on the 17th and 20th received 22nd into HSBC A/C
    CHAPS fee refunded 29/10
    I can survive any crisis - I have kids!!

    We know that we've been told our money is safe - but will only be totally safe once it's in our bank accounts. No need to get angry with people who are concerned about their savings. Chill!!

    Assuming if it does end up back in the KE accounts (which Martin seems to think it will), then I assume there will be a sudden run of CHAPS and BACS transfers out again, ended up with a similar mess as now.

    A Pot Noodle?? Wow, you are so lucky. All I've got are a few stale crumbs that I managed to sweep from our team's kitchen floor...
  • what? Am I being thick, if so I appologise (Was at the Queen concert last night so I'm sleep deprived) but is the money getting bounced back into our Kaupthung accounts now?

    The Problems with Chaps


    We have spoken to both the FSCS and APACS, the payments organisation, and both are very confident this money will be repatriated to your Kaupthing (now ING Direct) accounts.
    .

    Kind regards

    If you want to be rich, never, ever have kids ;)

    i see 100 pages of the thread on the horizon! not bad going atall

    But if you condensed the thread down to useful posts with accurate information, removing all 'theories' and scaremongering, you'd probably be back to about 10. :D

    I've seen all this before - I was an "investor" in the tech bubble of 2001, the forums then were just as rowdy, with name-calling aplenty with users accusing each other of being 'plants' or 'shorters'

    The difference here is that your money is safe, have some patience!
