ICICI Bank

You don't stop, even since your thread 'The run has started on ICICI' got deleted yesterday for being scaremongering (I assume, that or the mods thought that using the forum to single-handedly trying to start a run on ICICI wasn't in the right spirit) I was waiting for the new 'we're all doomed' post.Anyone keeping their money in ICICI must be seriously deranged. All the evidence is pointing towards the bank going tits up by Tuesday at the latest.
Yes it looks dodgy, but a lot of the banks do now, and in reply to your post about the compensation, it would be paid by the FSCS, not India.0 -

Have you ever experienced Indian bureaucracy Steve? That 50k could take years to get back. The paper work alone would probably result in the deforestation of much of Chhattisgarh.
You really are a pain. But worse still, you don't take in a single thing anyone has pointed out and continue with your postings. Which makes me feel its deliberate. After reading your thread of yesterday, and the new one you created today, I in fact seriously doubt whether you ever had any money in ICICI at all.
And no Im not complacent. And I have no clue whether there may or may not be a run on ICICI UK. Or whether its in trouble. But nor do you. But lets just repeat for the nth time (not for your education but for those who might come onto your threads/postings and start worrying themselves sick):
ICICI UK is a fully UK company. So not only is it fully covered by the FSCS, but the the event of real problems the authorities have far more control; therefore they could intervene in the way they did with Heritable, KE, and B&B, A&L. And not like they couldn't with Icesave. No passport schemes etc. No indian paperwork (at least not for us).
And many banks are having wobbles at the moment. As others have said, select another UK bank, like HBOS maybe. Lets just chase our money round the system. Just don't keep telling us about all the troubles you have had logging in when every other b******r (excepting a bit of trouble on Friday evening) was able to get in on numerous occasions and kept saying so.0 -

I hope you're right Ealing, I really do, but if you're not then a lot of people are going to go through a lot of stress and worry whilst trying to get their money back. Myself, I always air on the side of caution, which is why I was able to get my money out of Icesave before the run started.0 -

Oh, did you try to engineer a run on Icesave as well?0 -

Right about what exactly?
The fact that I've said I haven't got a clue what the state of ICICI UK is? The fact that I've said elsewhere that your apparent inability to log on for almost an entire day while just about everyone else could, should not be interpreted as meaning a thing (apart perhaps, in hindsight, the state of your internet connection or your ability to work a keyboard); the fact that posting up 'the run on bank has started' because you couldn't log in was inappropriate; the fact that I've tried to give some reassurance/information which I believe to be factually correct (and no one has contradicted) that in the event that it did go belly up the legal and protection situation is different from Icesave and could allow a KE, B&B type situation??
If it does go all pear shaped, I will not feel that I have said or done anything here which could have mislead anyone.0
