Typical bad reporting:

"A second email is expected to be sent to all Icesave depositors later this week."

The article doesn't say why this has happened either. From various posts on here it's possibly (probably?) down to the fact the FSCS has outsourced the e-mail distribution to a company which specialise in sending out mass "spam", sorry, I'll correct that, "marketing" e-mails.
Of course it's not the job now of most reporters to investigate first, they just publish verbatim what's been fed to them!

Whilst it's all well and good sending out the emails in batches they have absolutely no control over when people actually log in to transfer their money so makes it almost a moot point that if everyone were to log on together it would crash the system

That is a good point. Aparently we have a month from receipt of that second email to claim the electronic compensation.

Nothing we can do about it I suppose.

I didn't make myself clear earlier in this thread but if folks did get that second email, could they please vote on this poll?

At the moment it's looking like only four people ( ignoring the advance vote lol) have received the email.
Is that about right from this thread? I haven't read all the pages.

I think more than 4 people have posted on the forum saying they have received the 2nd email and cleared their accounts. I suspect once they have done that move on from the Icesave threads to other things - like where to put the money

But wouldn't most people want to get their money out pretty sharpish after losing it for over a month in order to reinvest it? I know I would.

Just want to say: fantastic display by Arsenal youngsters against Wigan in the Carling Cup! :T :T :T

Yes the finacial reporting round this has been deplorable-

"Although the FSCS normally protects just £50,000 of deposits, the Government announced that it would protect all savings in full, due to the exceptional global circumstances which had led to Landsbanki's demise"

Utter tosh;the govt said no such thing.
These statements must wind up councils, police forces, charities and the tax payer in general: They said "individual depositors' savings in full..."

I've seen the BBC webby quote 'AD said British depositors would be compensated in full....' !!!! Oh the rest of the world would love to see that, compensated on the basis you were British? Much as we might love that to be the case, it ain't even close to legal. They should sack the editorial team responsible for that way before Ross & Brand (not that I don't think R & B acted like over paid laddish tw*ts) :mad:

Just received my second email today, asking me to log on and send my cash to the linked account. To be honest it is only interest and minimum balance as I had taken most out in Sept.

Sorted.
Wow can you imagine doing that for 150k, when most should have been lost? like winning on premium bonds
