  • Didn't realise I needed to declare my leg length too - around 30 inches inside leg. However, I opened my account in December last year.

    This suggests to me that if you opt to receive the money at maturity, it will back date interest right up until 7th Oct 2008.
    i.e. You will not lose 1 day interest or a penny.

    Do others read this in the same way, or is it still unclear?
    Thanks.

    That's how I read it. You would only lose interest if the account matures before they process your paper form and there was a delay sending the payment after maturity, but interest during the fixed term would be paid in full.

    Perhaps those who have not yet received anything should check their "Junk email" folders - that is where I found my email.

    Orange's spam filters had mistakenly managed to classify the FSCS email as spam.


    Nothing here but not time to panic just yet I don't think as they said only to contact them if the e-mail hadn't come by Friday. Hopefully 2nd e-mail will be done in reverse order hehe!

    thanks Nigel, but I don't see anything that substantiates the "you will be able to select different options for different accounts" part ....?

    It isn't stated explicitly but FAQ 24 states that the compensation is paid seperately for each account held.
    FAQ 32 states that if you want to keep your fixed rate account open to maturity you must tick the appropriate box.
    As each account (I have 6 fixed and 1 variable) is being treated seperately this option must exist for each individual account.

    is the below in relation to the cleared and processed balances? i presume everything will have to be cleared in order to receive the funds?
    . You have a substantial amount of money belonging to me in your holding account which you have had prior to 7 October 2008. Why can't this be applied to my account so that I can withdraw it electronically?

    also re the ISA it says you will need to fill n a transfer form. what exactly will u put on it though as the money isnt coming from icesave? jsut you own account details?
