FSCS? Won't hear a word against them!

Options
After a near three month FSCS saga, I finally blew a geyser (an Icelandic one of course) and contacted the CEO's office late on Tuesday, for the 99th time. (I'd claimed on Nov 12th for an FRB closing on Nov 24th.)

Stone me, I got an email back yesterday, telling me a cheque was being sent to me Special Delivery for today. And they did! My saga is at an end. To all those names I've become so familiar with recently (Kittie, Shindigger, Dorsetlass, Briskly, Sanfly, Lesu and many others too numerous to mention) all I can say is good luck.

My only advice is if you find an email address of an actual individual (in my case [EMAIL="David.Lamb@fscs.org.uk"]David.Lamb@fscs.org.uk[/EMAIL] in the CEO's office) badger him until he's sick of the sound of your name. It seems to be the only way to get an effective response.

A final sour note. What a ricket it was on my part to elect to wait till the account came to an end. It seemed such a good idea in those carefree days in October last year. Looking at the interest I made between Oct 7th and Nov 24th, even though it was on a reasonable amount in a joint account, it wasn't worth the hassle. Still I guess you've all worked that out already...

Good luck to all those waiting. I'm off to Ladbrokes to put it all on the 3.30 at Wincanton|! :j

    Thank you so much for the email link. I have already sent an e mail identical to one I sent L Minghella and I`ll send at least one every day from now on. Good luck to you and thanks for the company
