That sounds like a bunch of not very well informed people having vents?

I had the same thing happen to me with a cheque 2 or 3 years ago but don't remember much. Pretty much all they do is make it so you can't use the money until the cheque is definitely going to clear (working day 6).

Am I missing something were? When I want money out of my isa, I just do it over the automated service, over the phone, as a transfer - and it's free. Why would Santander want to charge you £30?

My ISA isn't with Santander, sorry if I didn't make that clear.

My ISA is with Nottingham BS. I deposited a cheque from the Nottingham into my Santander 123 current account.

The Nottingham said there would be a £30 charge for a transfer - which was about 60% of the interest I'd earned for my year's savings so I thought sod that!

Just an update. Paid in Monday and it's available now, 10PM on Thursday. So only took them four working days (including Monday).
