Icesave claims for fixed term accounts

My husband and I hold two fixed term accounts with Icesave, in joint names, which we're leaving to maturity. This morning we received two claim forms for these - one addressed to my husband, and the other to myself. As both forms require us to provide the names of all claimants to the accounts and to list the account numbers of all accounts held, we're confused as to why we've received two forms.
Has this happened to anybody else with similar circumstances? Presumably we now have to individually complete both forms, even though we will be providing the same information twice?

    Do it - can't see it causing any harm... and maybe you'll get paid twice:eek:
  • primrose - snap!

    Exactly the same situation for us - two forms, 2 FTBs to maturity - at least you solved the mystery for us, I hadn't twigged that one form was for my DH.

    I guess we'll complete both though can't see why as both of you have to sign each one - it's really poorly designed - but at least more hope now that might get money from bond maturing in January 2009 back on time.
