    The conversation directly above this is about when the first emails will be sent out. The quote posted above says this week, same as the other reports. The transfer of money has always been talked about as being at the end of next week. There is no variance in the reports.

    Yes. I thought that was ridiculously harsh and uncalled-for.
    This person has been causing a fair amount of upset on some other threads, as I recall. I think the trick is to brand him/her a troll and just ignore.

    Thanks for your comment, I should have ignored the comment as I am aware of other stuff that has been posted but you know how it is; one feels compelled to reply, Lol it's like moths to a candle! :):D

    What a really well thought out comment from someone who knows nothing about my circumstances!:confused:


    It s hurtfull when people are nasty .I had it done to me, just because I thanked Martin for gettng info to us quickly. It put me off using the forum for a while. What can ever be achieved by nasty comments I do not know.

    Quite so Lisa, at one point during this Icesave issue I have also received abusive PM's too, so much so that I turned off the ability to receive them. :)
  • No - your money was lost (along with £65K between me & the missus for what it's worth) when Icesave defaulted. We are being compensated by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
    Whichever way you look at it, its still my money.... my taxes buying shares in banks so they can survive, the interest I have been charged on my debts, which the bank then has to pay to the compensation scheme...
    Hope you get your cash back quickly by the way, I am stressing about WAY less than you've lost!

    Crikey Nilrem, just to think these people walk our streets lol! When I get my pennies back I will get back to my normal (happy again) life and the bully's can find others to pick on. Saying that people like yourself , st and others have been a big comfort and help during this nightmare.
    On a lighter note I wonder who will be the first of us to receive their funds back. I did hear they are actioning in lots as not to overload the system Hope it's alphabetical (my surname starts with a B) lol ;)

    Lisa, don't stop posting here when this is all over, we need decent people to stay, don't take too much noticed of on-line bullies, I am afraid that they are to be found in most forums and newsgroups all over the internet, they would never dare to say the things they type to you in person, mostly bullies are cowards and that includes on-line bullies too! :)

    Lisa ,we should all be grateful that we are getting our hard earned savings returned and all the stress this has caused all of us -we do no need these bullies and unreasonable people on here. My surname is T so will be among the last if they do it alphabetical-but at least it is all positive.
