    My wife is sick of phoning KE/ING and getting told the same old stuff and was nearly in tears on the phone to them yesterday when she was yet again told that the payment would be made tomorrow at the latest.

    We are under no hardship due to the lack of money but we have wasted untold time and nerves thanks to this sorry episode.

    Also, please stop feeding the troll on this thread.

    [FONT=&quot]Updated list of people awaiting transfers 1300 4th Nov


    Anyone viewing this thread who is not in receipt of their transfer, please check your name is on the list .
    As I will be at work during the day it will be difficult for me to keep a close eye on who is new and needs adding or who is getting paid – I will try my best. However it would be best if people can, please PERSONAL MESSAGE me if you need adding or removing – do NOT edit the list yourself.
    The total “missing money” for 16 out of 31 is £ 351,723

    16 out of the 31 waiting requested transfers on the 7th/8th October

    If anyone else wants to PM me their amount and date I will add them to the list![/FONT]
    No more offshore banking for me :rolleyes:

    Now, for some bizarre reason, the 2nd of my BACs requests has been RETURNED to my KE account (the first one is still missing!). Am afraid that I now need to set up yet another new transfer and wait for another few days to find out it didn't go through and I start the chase again. - any advice from anyone?

    First post, but just wanted to say that I'm still waiting for money from Kaupthing Edge.

    Made my BACS transfer on 4th October. However it later transpired that the linked account details were wrong (Alliance & Leicester) so it bounced back (according to A&L).

    I am now informed that my money is languishing in a frozen Natwest clearing bank that Kaupthing used. A request has been made to the administrators to extract my money, but no one is giving me a timeframe on when this will be.

    I am very very lucky that I don't need this money to pay for mortgage etc so have been relatively relaxed about the situation. But, it has now been a whole month with nothing (tell a lie, I received a random £14 interest credit in my account yesterday!).

    Thanks to everyone's posts over the last few weeks. It has been reassuring that I am not the only one... although it looks like I soon will be!

    Welcome! Although I'm sure you don't want to be here really... ;) If you PM theFury, you can be put on The List with the remaining 31.

    Your money will come through. I had interest credited just before my money appeared in my linked account. And we're here for you! :D

    I did a small BACS transfer on 29th Oct - but it's not arrived yet. Will let you know when/ if it does
    KE veteran - life seemed so much simpler then!
  • Okay, My call to KE lasted 58 seconds.

    I was told to read the latest website update :mad: and that they were guaranteeing all payments would be in linked accounts by the end of business today. They couldn't do anything else. They wanted me off the phone fast.

    Hey that'll be useful - your 'small' one must be with my 5 figure one same day (initiated too late on 28th). I'll be posting as soon as, too.
    Have you rung & queried why it's taking 5 working days to see what explanation you get?
    Just for info: I did a bacs from Northern Rock on the morning of 29th ... received morning of 31st = 2&bit business days.

    the papa - same here but certainly not relaxed -expecting to be last as i cant see them getting the money back until all backlog of chaps bacs sorted.

    Am sure there will be good news for some today!
