I thought these would have sold out by now due to demand. Very surprised that the issue is still available.

I think they will still be available for a while yet, on their website it says:

We expect this Issue of Index-linked Savings Certificates to be on sale for a sustained period of time.

It's been 3 weeks since I purchased my £10k Savings Certificate and still no acceptance letter. So I rang them today and they confirmed that they have sent the letter to a wrong address half a mile away because the post code database they use is incorrect. :mad:

They have promised to correct my address manually and resend the letter, but I am not impressed. I had intended buying further certificates but I don't think I'll bother now.

It simply beggars belief. The replacement letter arrived this morning, but despite me giving my correct address to the NS&I staff over the phone yesterday, not once but twice to make sure they'd got it right ...... yes, you've guessed, the numpties still managed to get it wrong! :mad:

Thank heavens for my 'on-the-ball' postie. Well the form's about to go back duly signed. I wonder where they'll send my certificate!

I received my certificate in this mornings post just 3 weeks from my investment date, considering all the horror stories fo delays, I am quite happy with that.

Would love to see the banks books and just how many big 15k holes there are in them.

Not all the holes will be as big as £15k but it's fairly obvious the banks will be smarting from this offer. Superb! :beer:
