    For customers with the account already, Suffolk (formerly Ipswich) Building Society have increased the Smart Saver rate from 0.25% to 0.35%.  With the 3% bonus, that's now 3.35%.

    My only difference this time is, I have been asked to provide ID and proof of address photocopies for Virgin HBCRS11.

    I don't think the response in such a situation would be as has happened, indeed the said terms stipulate in such a scenario that the account would be changed into their  (non existent)  normal regular saver.

    If you have VM issues 8 and 10 already, might they have flagged your also getting Issue 11 as a breach of T&Cs, which clearly state that customers are only permitted one VM Home Buying Coach RS account?  If so, that would be a concern for some on here.

    After changing nominated account to Tesco savings some months ago I had to phone and pass ID questions part of which was how many accounts did I have, nothing was said about how many VM Home Buying Coach RS accounts I had.

    I never look at welcome letters. received text saying account has been fully verified ignore request for ID.(Issue 11)

    paul235 will get welcome letter which "might" as for ID
