    Colsten I would do that but you can only have 2 TSB 5% saver In your name... 1 sole & 1 joint.. don't think you can close & apply again... think you gotta wait 12 months

    Paying £1500 each month into an instant access account containing £4000 is NOT a problem. Finding two DDs isn't much of a problem either. search for Tesco Internet Saver.

    I think you should take some time out and do the following:

    1. Read the T&Cs (of both the TSB Classic Plus, and the associated TSB regular saver), and

    2. Read the replies you're getting again, until the penny drops!

    Update

    My Flex Direct ends in September...

    I Have message nationwide & asked to downgraded it to Flex Basic (Waiting for reply)

    What other account can I open/transfer to that has 3% or more interest each month.

    Post #20 supplied a link to the best interest rates.


    You then thanked that poster in post #22 and said you'd "look into it".


    You haven't looked into it have you? ;)

    That is not likely something they will do for you as the FlexBasic is for people who aren't able to get a "real" current account, which clearly doesn't include yourself.

    You could, however, ask to downgrade to a FlexAccount. You should ring them (0800 302010) on the day you want to downgrade, and allow about 45 minutes for the call as they will read out a lot of T&Cs to you. Closing the FlexDirect would be a whole lot simpler.
