    In addition to eskbanker's question, did you empty your other cash ISA before or after you paid £200 into your HTB ISA?
  • Thanks for all the advice, I actually spoke with an advisor from Halifax  who was able to fully  explain my situation and what to do.

    Hopefully you've been given the correct information. Banks don't have a very good track record when it comes to advising on ISAs.

    Nationwide is currently advising that it takes up to 3 days to close my ISA.
    I instructed them Tuesday early morning and the whole amount inc interest accrued was transferred into my current account 
    Friday lunchtime. Consequently my wife opted to transfer everything less £1 and got her money immediately.
    So she still have an ISA with £1 and accrued interest (not much as Interest was last paid in March)
