What a nasty unpleasant post.

If you read the posts carefully I think that you will find that most people are very grateful to the government for ensuring that their savings are safe. In addition, most on here are not "complaining" about lack of interest since Icesave went down. The point that is being made is that the random nature of the repayment process could mean a large financial penalty for those who are paid out last compared to those paid first due to lack of interest and also changing availability of fixed rate deals.

You seem to suggest that people should feel guilty about having saved for their retirement - why?

I agree with you Katy, :)but as I featured in the posters vitriol I felt it was not worth replying to.
I don't mind answering genuine comments but people who abuse or insult others are better ignored IMHO.

We have personal and also joint accounts and have both had our second e-mail.

When I first hit the cursor in the space to enter my password, all hell let loose on my machine. I wondered what the hell had happened!

Anyhow, I duly entered the password and entered the site. Then I did all my transactions doing Screen Shots and also printing off the Claim Confirmations.

Then I exited, cleared my cookies, where I particularly only noticed one pertinent cookie called 'icesave.co.uk'.

Afterwards, I noticed I was able to re-enter the site once again, all as if nothing had happened. Everything was all there ready for me to re-do.

Then my wife entered the site and did all her accounts. She also deleted cookies and she could also re-enter the site afterwards. She did print-offs and Screen Shots similarly to me.

Neither of us have tried to enter again this morning.

As yet, all we have are our Claim Confirmations from the site in print-offs. Neither of us have received any 'third e-mail' as yet and it is now at least 15 hours or so since we did all of the above.

Hope that helps a few of you.

Katy, thank you for your lucid post, it explains exactly what myself and others are feeling but using better words than I used, some people have taken my feelings completely the wrong way and have trawled back through my posts to find comments I made positive to the FSCS and used them to attack me.

Of course I was/am happy to get my money back by Christmas, anyone would be completely mad not to but it does not mean I cannot have a few negative feelings now or do I have to be grateful to the FSCS for the rest of my life no matter what happens now?

nilrem - you are most welcome. I have not received my second email yet but luckily am not deperate for the cash at present and do not have a large amount left in Icesave as I withdrew most of it the week before the crash. However, I quite understand how frustrating it must be to have a very large sum of money tied up not earning any interest whilst the good fixed rate deals are being withdrawn daily.

Let us just hope that the FSCS were being cautious with their estimate of paying the funds back by early December and that we all get our precious money before that.

Fingers crossed! :beer:

I did post this yesterday somewhere but as more peeps seem to be here today I thought I would post again.

Not me but my daughter got her 2nd email yesterday (Sunday) and has initiated her claim. She hasn't got a lot c £7K but being a student had just put her loan in when it went belly up. So she can repay me the money I had to give her as a bailout.

We both got our first email bout the same time (tuesday) last week but I have not had a second email.

Just in case some people are wondering why they have not had their first email, I discovered ours last night in our Junk Folder, where it had been since 4 November. My brother had his then and I was a bit worried because we hadn't had ours but it didn't occur to me to check there - I was actually looking for something else at the time.

Here's a little poem of reassurance, while we all wait. It was posted on the BBC website a couple of weeks ago, attributed to a lady called Christina from Parkstone.

Don't lend,
Don't spend,
Make do
And mend,
Recycle,
Bicycle,
Rehash
Old trash.
Save cash,
Sit tight.
It'll be alright.

Thanks, Christina for making me smile. I hope that you are right! :beer:

....katykay, it does seem random but then random is as fair as anything else. We can all make a case for why we should be first in the queue. Not everyone can be first. I would have happily been last in the queue as long as I got it by mid January. As it happens I was lucky.

Nilrem, get a sense of perspective, dude. Someone reminded you that you had stated that you'd be glad to have your funds returned by Christmas, and that you were now apparently unhappy that someone had got them before you - even though you'll have them a month earlier than you hoped, and probably 6 months earlier than you had a right to. It wasn't an attack, it was a reminder that we're all lucky. You appear paranoid, take a chill pill.

We've all gained months and months by the FSCS intervention, and the fact that someone gains by two weeks over someone else surely has to be small beer??

Also, I'm assuming that I'm one of the "smug" ones you are thinking of? It's not smugness, I posted on here to reassure all of us Icesavers that the process is on track exactly as they said it is. Nothing more, nothing less. Re-read my first post, and then please re-consider what you write. I understand your anxiety, seven days ago I was anxious too. But that's how quickly it can be sorted out. Relax!

....if you have lost that amount of interest then I expect you are v grateful that Darling saved those with over the £50k fscs compensation limit....

Which is wrong, if I cross the M6 with my eyes closed, there's a good chance the outcome won't be pretty

To quote a well known phrase "I don't believe it"

Ornage have "technical issues" with their email so that will stop me checking my email every 10 minutes - and I may get some work done today.

It should be up and running by 3.00pm today.

Mail2web is still working

Second email just received, and claim initiated. Yay! :T
