    The £100 has gone out of my Nationwide ISA so must be on its way to Leeds Building Society.

    Didn't you think it was odd that the payment was shown as a

    "Counter cheque withdrawal"

    yeah, they could/should really call it "ISA transfer" but since they are sending a cheque (despite it being 2013), all they seem to be able to manage is to call it a withdrawal.

    The important bit is that they acted on the request to transfer £100 in a timely manner.

    I set mine up online on the 7th and posted my forms on the 8th. Received confirmation letter dated the 11th that all was in hand and my transfer was being processed. Have also paid in an additional amount through online banking and this was showing in my account the same day along with the initial deposit.

    HOWEVER, my transfer is from Barclays Direct/ING Direct (which I made clear on the transfer form) but they do not ask you for an address to send transfer form to.

    Unfortunately, Leeds BS have sent my form to Barclays Bank in Leicester and not Barclays Direct in Reading, which has resulted in me having to ring around to try and get it resolved. They are now going to send a copy to the correct address, but I think a complaint letter may be called for...

    My account is still showing 0 and none of my transfers seem to have done anything yet (both from NatWest).

    Where abouts on the online account are you viewing the current statuses of your accounts/transfers and such? I can't find anything.

    We are referring to the account where the isa is being transferred from ie in my case Nationwide - not Leeds Building Society. If you log into your Natwest ISA you should be able to see if they have begun transfer. Still nothing showing in my Leeds BS ISA.

    Ahh. NatWest are equally useful as I can't find anything there either. My ISAs are still showing in my account and the cheque has not been cashed by Leeds yet either.

    Could be Leeds BS fault not Natwest's as Leeds BS have been overwhelmed by isa applications and have a backlog.

    Confirmation that my ISA transfer from NS&I has been completed and is now sitting in my LBS account.
