    For those of you who might have had any doubts, the FSCS operation is definitely in headless chicken mode.
    I received my cheques on Friday last week for my FRB's. Great! I went to the bank to cash them today ( would have been Monday but it snowed!).
    Got back home to find a letter from the FSCS saying 'we have received your form and we are working hard to assess your application as soon as possible.'!

    Now you know why they are bailing out UK banks at all costs, can you imagine the chaos if one of them went down.

    Although not quite the same as people waiting for their money, I received my funds after claiming online on the 16th of November. 8 weeks later I am still waiting for my certificate and after two letters (and receiving no response even though they asked me to write in) I guess its the complaints process now. I think saying they are in headless chicken mode is being VERY generous to them.

    Had an “easy access” isa with a linked account but was sent a paper form to complete. Filled in the paper form and posted back 26 November. Chased up after 6 weeks and after a few emails sent to several FSCS addresses I finally received a reply to say that my form was received on 1 December and that it is being processed. I have now waited 9 weeks and still no cheque!

    Me too, 6 month fixed rate account matured Christmas day (!). I received the form in the first batch so I thought I had a decent chance of being reimbursed promptly. Wishful thinking...
    Got my cheque today! Looks like there has been a batch sent out judging by the other threads, so at least there is some activity.
