Cor, Tina. If you're listening you should get this new account

Ok, the joke has got a bit thin

Maybe, but we can always afford an amusing diversion in such a serious thread.

Don't need a diversion when I am trying to Focus.

So does that mean we could not open a second cash ISA to take any balance. Only able to invest a total of a possible £3K in the Ford ISA is not very good.

You can spread your allowance across all their cash ISAs so you can still use your full allowance.

Yes, saving is a serious business. Rather than messing around with these short-term regular savings I wish it were still possible to invest all my money in Consuls.

Are you indicating that whilst you could utilise your full year ISA allowance if you had multiple ISA's with Ford, but if you wanted to go elsewhere to use the remainder; you can't?

On a genuinely more serious note, I've just been reading the latest Private Eye magazine. There's a piece on page 5 about concerns over consumer debt and the "credit quality of new lending". Consumer behaviour at the end of 0% deals is one of the issues - perhaps fueled by the popularity of stoozing?

One of our favourite regular saver banks gets a mention, as does the "growth of complex sub-prime car loans dressed up as 'personal contract purchase' deals".

An interesting article, and a story worth following. Will it mean an increase in companies known for providing consumer credit starting to provide tempting consumer savings accounts?

It will be interesting to see the terms, as the final payment of 12 could fall into the 18-19 tax year.

Yes

You can't pay new money into a Cash ISA elsewhere if you're paying into the Ford reg saver Cash ISA.

You could pay into a different type of ISA, such as S&S, IF though.
