    I only ever got the account opening letter. Then they went bust... -_-'
    What about on the print outs I made of my account? I can't remember anything about the number.
    There's nothing on the account screens about user names, as I would have expected.

    I think you're going to have to call them and ask for the information to be mailed to you.

    I know it's not the answer you want to hear, but this process is designed to protect us from the scamming bas***ds who use the internet to separate us from our hard earned money.

    Yay. Firefox saved the login number from the "forgotten password" form from when I forgot my password.
    Yay for bad security .

    Edit: All done. Really easy.

    Great job by the FSCS.

    I won't have a philosophical debate about what constitutes good and bad security, but it's good that you're sorted.

    Did you manage to initiate your FSCS claim ? I still can't.

    Yeah, it's all done now. Should be in my account soon :)
    Pretty good thing too, I'm running out of money this month for some reason. Can't figure out why.

  • Got my email today and initiated claim, delighted :D
  • I'm still waiting patiently (but not very) for my second email. Both I and my wife have around 40k in ISA's which will need transferring when we finally get it back. Has anyone made any decisions where they will transfer thier ISA cash?
  • Received my 2nd email on Monday the 17th at 1.56pm (1st email received on 4/11) and initiated my claim (£33k) without any problems.

    Have also completed poll - apologies for the delay in doing so.
  • I received my 1st email on 4th November also, however still have not received my second, do I need to worry yet!!!!!!!

    Second email today @ 19:15. When I log on to my account and initiate the FSCS process, there are no options listed.

    Was it a fake email or do I need to wait a while longer ?

    The initiate button is next to the view account link on the initial summary page. I was expecting it to be on the left where account options used to be, when I made my transfer.
