Lol Yes you mean the

NG Direct Saving Feels Good Competition

Well I have Ing accounts with a total of £8 saved and the only thing that would make me feel good about them would be -:

1) A decent interest rate.
2) A proper compensation scheme rather than the *discredited Passport scheme.

* After being involved in the Icesave fiasco I won't be saving with anyone who offers less then the full FSCS comp scheme, no matter how many images they let me upload!:rolleyes:

Probably because they ask existing customers to call an 0845 number, whereas potential customers are allowed to dial an 0800 one. But don't worry, the website gives a Reading number to call.

Anyway, I'm still finding their six-month web saver bonus promotion a useful place to store excess cash.

Yes I was fobbed off when I rang the 0800 number couple of month ago to close my 2007/2008 ISA (hadn't used full limit so wasn't worth it) and was told to ring the 0845.

It's also funny how I got answered straight away on the 0800 but on hold for 5 minutes on the Reading/0845 number! :rolleyes:
