FSCS: Mass email brings some better news - The first emails to UK customers of Icesave have now gone out with more information about how to claim back their savings according to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The email is the first stage of a process that will lead to compensation for thousands of Icesave customers.

It will be followed up by FSCS sending second emails to customers, in phases, with a view to starting compensation payments in the second week of November, as planned. The second email will provide instructions on how depositors can log on to their existing Icesave accounts in the normal way to complete a short electronic process allowing them to receive their compensation. Customers are asked not to log in until their second email which will specifically invite them to do so.

Any Icesave customers who did not receive their first email from FSCS by the close of business last Friday should contact FSCS on 0845 7300 131 (Icesave enquiries only). (N.B. It could be worth checking your 'spam file' before phoning and also ensuring that the email is genuine (there have been warnings of phishing).

just to let people know, I got my money back today after getting my second email on Wednesday. I've talked to Scottish Widows about transferring to them (I had an ISA) and the woman there seemed very clued up. She told me I would have to send the cert with my application.

Got my money today ;o) (Wednesday morning).

Second email was received last Thursday afternoon but I missed it. Confirmed late last Friday. Was going to rush off to RBS to open transfer ISA...
...but remembered I have to wait for ISA certificate ;o(
The money is currently losing a potential £2 interest a day interest ;O(
(It's earning £2 a day net but could be eaning £4 a day in an RBS ISA)

Got my ISA certificate on Sat 6 Dec.
Now got to wait for my Tesco savings card reader to get the money out and onto an ISA
