Apologies for the stupid question but how do I get to the first page of this thread whilst logged in? Im having a moment!

Click on page number 1. If you are on a phone and 1 doesn't show, rotate your phone. 

Alternatively, change the URL so it ends in /p1. Like so: forums.............../regular-savings-accounts-the-best-currently-available-list/p1

I just opened the Home Coach account using the VM site, no app involved and it appeared atop my VM RS 14 immediately.

Its not listed on VM website so how did you manage that? 

It's not listed, but the summary page, with a link to the application, can be found via your favourite search engine. Alternatively, just use the link posted earlier in this forum.

Yes I found it simplest to do by googling the product name and bypassing app and you can state purpose of account with various options not just home buying. Managed to get 1st payment in today so luckily can do another tomorrow. All small margins I know but what can you do....

Owing to the virus they are allowing you to copy your passport or driving licence and email to them.  Only an original recent household bill needs to go with application.

Just to update for anyone interested in the Furness regular saver,

I spoke to customer service and was told due to covid, I could just photo copy my driving licence or passport and utility bill and post it back with my application form and cheque.

So currently no branch face to face needed or original documents needed so fill your boots.

They won't, because it would be nightmare for them to put any correction into effect, and it would damage the relationship between them and their customers. 

I understand how it wouldn't be easy for Coventry to put any correction into effect but a nightmare? Perhaps that's overstating it just a tad. And maybe I'm being thick but I simply don't see how would it damage the relationship between them and their customers to clarify once and for all whether only one of their Regular Savers could be held at any one time or whether it is perfectly ok to hold more than one, provided each Regular Saver is from a different issue?

FYI for anyone opening with the intention of accessing one of their Agency locations in the future. Had a letter from Furness today that they are closing their Agency network.

It's a great shame as my experience had been very positive of the Horwich agency when I opened my regular saver. I hope some of the agency businesses will be able to limit any job losses but I suspect this will be inevitable at some locations. The fact these locations may be able to redeploy staff may have factored into why it's the agency network affected.

Maybe you could take it up with them rather than filling the thread with page after page of  the same point

Unfortunately It's typical of the type of postings you expect to see on MSE during Lockdowns and school/college/uni holidays !

"Maybe you could take it up with them rather than filling the thread with page after page of  the same point". I'm very likely to take it up with them. This thread has mostly been filled up recently with posts about Virgin and how to apply for their 1.75% Regular Saver which you've conveniently overlooked. And the many contributions about the lack of clarity re. Coventry's Regular Savers as to how many one can hold at the same time have come from a good number of other posters besides me and on other threads besides this one!

Being 'superior' and arrogant is not an appealing trait in any human being!
