First Direct isa finishing

I will have on the 1st Nov 2009 finished my regular saving isa with Fd, I have made inquires with another bank who are giving a better rate than the one FD will put me into after 1st Nov but because I have been paying since April 2009 up to an amount of £1800 they say that because of this I cannot put the full (£5100 i`m 68) in, only the remaining £3300. I`m confused and would appreciate any advice, thanks:confused:

    You can only put £5100 into your ISA between April 2009-April 2010, so if you have already used £1800 then you can only put in an additional £3300.
    You could leave the £1800 where it is or transfer it to the new account.
    I'm sure they mean in addition.

    The OP cannot do this, as (s)he has subscribed to the Cash ISA in the current tax year - so the full current year's contributions MUST be transferred to the new ISA provider, as any remaining allowance (the £3,300) can then be subscribed.
