Look who said this:

[URL="https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5883823you don't care less then why do you feel the need to repeatedly rant about 'attackers', dismissing valid and politely-expressed points as 'ridiculous' .....[/URL]

Any guesses?

And you never have.

If you think a bank is going to risk the wrath of the FCA for what amounts to peanuts in interest you're delusional.

This thread shows that it doesn't work, the cost of dealing with an unhappy customer clearly outstrips the money they can make holding onto someone else's money for a couple of months.

If you think a bank with probably billions in customer deposits thinks like that you've never worked for one.

I have, they don't think like that.

Have a look at this:

The clue is in the description "fixed term."

No. It's in the terms and conditions. Do you really think FOS would have made the bank release the funds if they were sticking to the terms?.

BTW, are you sure you used to work for a bank?

Yes.

The FOS are more about "fairness" than they are about rigidly sticking to the terms and conditions.

Your point being?

In that other thread I was calling out a poster for (among other things) dismissing valid points as being ridiculous.

In this thread colsten rightly referred to silly conspiracy theorist nonsense as being ridiculous.

No comparison....

So obviously the clue is strictly not just in the title.

The other thread post offered an explanation to their subjective opinion. In this thread your friend only offered his subjective opinion in a rude and brusque manner. That's the difference.
