Post Office ISA - question about closing your account

kaiser_soze

Does anybody know how long it usually takes to close a Post Office ISA account? I have written to them 2 weeks ago, asking them to transfer the money to my nominated account and to close the account, but they have yet to do so. Moreover, they actually recently transfered money from my bank account to the ISA account on the 15th.

I am thinking maybe they have not received the letter, as I would think they would already have closed the account by now. Has anybody here ever closed an ISA account with the Post Office?

A friend recently transferred their Post Office Cash ISA to Halifax, which took about two to three weeks. I would have thought that a simple account closure should take significantly less time than an ISA transfer.

Have you rung them to check?

Thanks, Baldur. I have actually rung them this morning, and apparently the process had to be delayed because of my direct debit. They said the account would be closed by next week!
