    I've just received my transfer requested by CHAPS on 7th October. It must have come within the past hour.

    We are so relieved.

    The main value to ING of the deal is that they get a whole load of high net worth customers without having to advertise - in essence the asset they have bought is the customer account (not what's actually in the account). I don't know what it costs to acquire a customer but it would not surprise me if it is £50 or more. If that is the case then the 160,000 customers would have a value to ING of £8m - of course they will have negotiated a fee with the KE administrators lower than their standard aquisition cost.

    Sadly for ING the value of that aquisition transaction is decreasing as their actions are doing nothing to retain the customer base they have bought. It also means any normal advertising to us is now wasted as we will no longer consider them in the future.

    A real lost opportunity for ING for the sake of a bit of decent communication.

    Not so sure that "we" will no longer consider them. Bearing in mind the part renationalisation by the Dutch Govt today I'd say a pretty safe home for your money. I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face!
  • 2 chaps requested 7/10 evening just arrived - one in lloyds & one in barclays.

    Thanks to all on this thread & fingers crossed all will get good news (ie money) today! Will keep following until you do!!

    Special thanks to Lukenukem for the much needed humour!

    THE MONEY HAS COME HOME =)

    Thanks to everyone for the help, no thanks to the institution that caused all the pain and misery - I can't even bring myself to put those 3 measly letters!

    Cheers everyone!

    First post - my money has arrived in Halifax account Chaps from 9/10. Thankyou to this thread for keeping my sanity over the last horrendous days. I hope everyone gets some good news today. I have just burst into tears of relief at my desk at work and am still shaking now.
