    Regular e saver 7 key product information states "Rates are fixed until after the maturity date. This means we cannot change the rate until after the fixed rate period". Hopefully Virgin can get round this somehow? This is good news especially if 8,9,10,11,12 follow!

    That reads as if the decision is out of their control which of course it isn't. But it's refreshing anyway. Perhaps they should make it read 'we cannot decrease...'

    I've just received the same announcement for Virgin's Regular E-Saver Issue 8. Same 2.50% starting from September 1st. Looks like they might be going through each issue one at a time

    Thank you Virgin

    Blimey, just had the same email about Issue 9

    Only 3 to go :)

    All of the Virgin RS holders in the UK are poised, fingers ready to tap, to be the first to announce that they've had the e-mail for Issue 12.

    No cheating allowed, no preparation with the e-mail already written please. That wouldn't be fair.

    Is this a first? I've never heard of a Bank or Building Society raising rates on a Fixed interest account!
