in ISAs & tax-free savings
Trying to find out if anyone else has had problems transferring monies from old ISA accounts into their ISA Saver or have we just been incredibly unlucky with our catalogue of disasters and errors.

    im thinking to transfer to chesire, im currently have 1.95% halifax from previous years. To be honest im so disappointed about interest rates this year, so i cant even see a damn reason why i need to do something to transfer form one paltry rate to another, 1.95% or 2.3%, extra couple of tenners, who cares!

    Similar experience. Opened account on the 10th and sent off the transfer form. Got an email on the 11th saying my application has now been processed. :)

    My transfer took several weeks from M&S which was GOOD news as CBS were paying interest from day application received. So, for that period I was getting over 4% :)
