The implication from the paperwork is that you will receive only one form, even if you have more than one account. I have 2 fixed term accounts that I have opted to go to maturity. It looks like I will have to attach another sheet of paper to the form with account nos. and what I want to happen to each one signed and dated.

The form is quite clear if you have more than one FTB that you supply details on a separate sheet (section D).

I would have thought that if you wanted both to be treated the same a simple tick in the box would do but I wouldnt risk it. It would not have been rocket science to put this next to the account details - the box for last known balance is enormous - you could get the total holdings of IceSave in there:rotfl:

Hi Sloughflint,
Para 6 of the guidance notes which come with the paper application says "if you have other legal authority (Power of Attorney for example) please provide a copy of the original document conferring such authority to us." So, yes, I guess there's nothing to stop you doing this and applying as soon as the paper application arrives. There's a space on it you need to fill in. Best of luck - I had to deal with a POA myelf recently, so I know what your problems are!

The address is Capita Business Services who specialise in forms handling and data capture, especially for the public sector.

It is a MicroSoft partner http://www.microsoft.com/uk/experts/solutionfinder/default.mspx?partnerid=4aece42899704f2e8c3b90b99cfc4c62

Seems quite safe but the bar code could well be an issue.

I guess we need someone else who gets a form soon to kindly check if they have the same numbers at the top as those on the posted one (below the barcode and just to the right).

Thanks Gerontius. Whilst relieved at being able to initiate my own claim electronically, I am disgruntled that paperwork hadn't already been sent out for POA accounts if they knew that was how those would be treated. Three weeks and counting wasted.:mad:
It seems strange that I will have to resubmit documents when I had full access pre default.
Ironically the donor's linked account popped up among my linked accounts when initiating my own claim:rotfl::rotfl:
Oh well nowt I can do but wait and feel guilty for placing someone else's money with Icesave.

Hi sloughflint,
Never feel guilty about acting in what you thought was somebody else's best interest - burdens enough with POA without that!
