Icesave Second email- week 2

Veryunique_2

This poll is very unnerving.

Hardly any increase in numbers from week-end to Monday and Tuesday's tally even worse !

Last week's daily total suggested expectation of 10,000 emails/day was not being met and this was proved correct.

First 2 days of this week hardly bear out FSCS's statement that numbers will be stepped up.

I was a bit selfish with the week one poll as I just wanted to get an instant visual feel that the compensation process was working rather than wade through many posts and within 24 hours I had got my answer.

After asking people if they wanted me to continue the polls for the remaining three weeks,that is what I am doing but I don't want to cause distress to people with them.

We can never take MSE polls seriously from a statistical point of view. For starters as far as I could tell there was no way of doing anything but the most simple poll. Then of course we have to contend with human inertia, people being sick of the topic of Icesave, threads disappearing down pages, pranksters etc.

This should only be treated as a bit of fun. Nothing more. Would desperately love to get that email ASAP but it can be anytime until 04/12.It will happen.

I hope you didn't misinterpret my comments. You did a sterling job. I had been looking out for the poll for Monday and Tuesday and believe the thread should be bumped up everyday to encourage more people to vote.

It may have started out as a bit of fun but it is the only indication we have of how things are going. Even the small numbers on this forum indicated that no way were 10,000 emails /day going out last week.

The FSCS have since promised to increase the tempo and they will certainly have to do so substantially if their target of compensation for the majority by end November is to be met. Our poll figures for Monday and Tuesday suggest this has not happened at all . I concede your points about inertia, disinterest etc but this poll is still the only yardstick we have at our disposal.

The FSCS are clearly not telling us the whole picture. If they are made
aware that not everyone is duped by the spin maybe we might get more accurate informatiom from them about howthings are going.

Personally I would prefer to know now if there is a problem with the IT system/software and the target date cannot be met. At least I could dismiss any reinvestment plans and rejig finances . If the IT system was not properly validated (and there was very little time for this) a glitch of some kind was always a possibility.

Assuming we have no joy today, can anyone actually face ringing the FSCS to find out what the hell is going on?
