Think we're all in the same boat and not able to concentrate on things. I don't work at the moment. My house is like a tip at the mo! Think I could be headed for the divorce courts if I don't get some cleaning done soon - lol.

Not if your username means what I think it means! :j

I saw Supernanny the other day. It had a pair of 3-year old twins on it that had this disgusting habit of working themselves into such a frenzy when something didn't go exactly the way that they wanted it that they ended up vomiting all over the place. . . it made them look like unpleasant little creatures to be around.

I can't help but think that some of the same behaviour appears to be exhibited later in life for certain individuals, too worried or blinded by the moment to notice that actually things are working themselves out and it will all be alright.

To those who have remained calm and collected throughout this episode so far it appears to be just a couple more days until your level-headedness is vindicated and a lot of people are going to look very stupid about their irrational panic.

I'm not in the habit of throwing insults out at people, but I have just watched this thread grow, horrified at the amount of misinformation about all kinds of unrelated stuff that has been spouted to get to the most absurd conspiracy theories and that frustrations experienced by a handful of people have boiled over into calls to irrational actions such as marching on offices (which aren't even the right ones to be marching on!!) or calling the police because theft is taking place in broad daylight. And many of these suggestions don’t appear to have the whiff of irony about them! This has had somewhat of a spiralling downward effect with others starting to voice their worry. Be opinionated by all means but be factually correct about it!!

I mention a “handful” of people and I know somebody is likely to reply that it's 160,000 people who are affected not a handful, but really, I bet that the majority of those 160,000 are either ignorant of what has happened, or were probably much more rational individuals or just didn't care because actually, there are more things to do with their lives than check on a broken webpage every 3 minutes.

It is also sad that there seems to be very little point in an organisation trying to answer anybody's concerns because even when a new message is officially posted about any progress being made, within seconds somebody has already disregarded it.

I have to say that I think there is a lot of the worst kind of behaviour having been exhibited here. . . slap on the wrists to all of you perpetrators!

I have done my parenting bit now. Feel free to bite back on Friday if there are no transactions - not that it's going to help anybody's cause and it'll just be water off my back!

Having said all of that, in a strange way it has been kind of like watching car crash TV, horrific yes, but rather compelling!

I don't blame them for taking their time on this. Between a transfer I made at Tuesday lunchtime and then around 9.30am on Weds, 7000 BACS transfers had been made. If you work out how many at all other times, with them all having to be clicked 'ok to transfer', I reckon they have done this in double quick time. Especially if they have only had a team of two to look at the odd automated BACS/CHAPS transfer... I will probably keep my money there (well half of it) and put the other half with Egg in their fixed rate.

I am eyeing up B&B though as an alternative/third instant access account.

I too am satisfied with how ING have handled this... and i have 35k in the ether. It must have been a horrendous job to sort it all out, and because its financial... high accuracy needs to be achieved.

I also sympathise for people who are desperate for their cash, this situation must have been many times worse for them, then me

I would be happy for my CHAPS transfer to be cancelled and the cash stay in ING, with an uninterrupted interest payment, but it doesnt sound like that will happen.

Meglomaniac - I have also got my other cash in Egg fixed & B&B... just opened up an AA account (backed by HBOS 6.4% no strings). I may even transfer some of my KE back to ING for now...if it arrives on Friday :undecided

Apathy is not an option.

I’m still forming my private army, to invade Iceland and capture all their puffins, bring them back to the UK and use them as currency. So far the army consists of one General, me.

The army will be known as:

Puffin International Snatchers Squad.

We are currently considering a takeover by ING, when we will be known as:

Puffin International Snatchers Squad ING




Any recruits? :doh:

How about Puffin International Snatchers Squad Over Feeble Finances? !

What a lovely, supportive post. How helpful. Who actually gives two hoots what you think of us? You have obviously nothing better to do or to comment on.

It is addictive, I keep popping on and off of here to see if there are any updates. An essay on supernanny not at all helpful, wish I had the time to write such an epic.

HupHup

Big thanks to all on this thread - been useful to follow where everyone else is with regards to this whole cash-vortex hoohaa. Just wanted to register now so that come Friday I can (hopefully) add to the posts confirming their money's turned up and help ease the worries of those still waiting!

(I transferred a wodge by BACS from KE Tuesday 7th ~10am when all was apparently still fine, amount debited immediately, still to turn up etc. etc.)

blondieleopard

so what sort of voyeur are you limes....?
get yr rocks off by proxy and then complain you've watched...

forget car crash tv...wait until icesave debacle unfolds..it will be hardcore

genny

I think people need to calm down, if ING haven't honoured most of the transactions by Friday, as they have now said they will, then we need to complain further.

No point arguing amougst ourselves, we are all missing money, and we are all annoyed.
