  • The same thing has happened to me and I've done a load of investigation work to find out..... same account number etc.

    The payments are made from a Natwest account owned by ING who took over from Kaupthing's Edge. Any payments from the Natwest account are owed interest payments owed to savers when KE went pear shaped.

    Mortgage free due to an Employment Tribunal Appeal win. The ivory tower occupants tried to walk all over me.... that was a mistake wasn't it?
