  • Unfortunately yes. My only other options from here are either Enfield or Chlelmsford. I do not drive & the train fare to the other two stores would wipe out any interest benefit.

    Thanks anyway

    I feel your pain re Haymarket! I made my August appointment yesterday when I was opening 17 and closing 10. Obviously we don’t know the exact date of next offering, or even if there is a next offering, but I have taken an educated guess! Good luck.
  • Just e-mail for an appointment?
    Already tried that.... They haven't replied.

    Thank you.

    That's a good plan, if I ever get an appointment I think that I'll do that as well :beer:
  • After a week since I first contacted them they finally got back to me.
    The first date that they could fit me in is Friday 14th!!! Still, appointment finally booked.

    Me and the wife are opening our first VM RS today :-)


    I already have other RS which are topped out so this will be my extra one I can't quite max out yet so I presume I will be ok to transfer money over as and when I can? It will be about £50-£100 per month

    as and when I can?

    Yes, up to maximum of £250 in each month.

    Can you carry over your allowance?

    I only put £240 in in May and only £50 in April so can I put £460 in for June?

    Thanks, i’ve looked at the summary box on the website and it’s not explicit.

    Which part of "maximum calendar monthly deposit limit £250" and "If a monthly deposit results in your account going over the maximum £250 per calendar month deposit limit we will return the additional money to you" isn't explicit? :D

    No, you can't carry over your monthly allowance. You can only pay in £250 in any calendar month. :)

    Ok i’ve read it again, yes you’re right!

    I think I was clinging to ‘maximum yearly deposit £3250’ in false hope! :rotfl:

    With the Haymarket branch, I call them and if they don't pick up the phone after 3 rings, I hang up and wait 5 mins and repeat. I always get to speak to someone on my 3rd or 4th attempt.

    I never leave a message for them to call back because they either call you end of day or several days after you've left a message.
