6 Different Saving Accounts

Cherryjack

Good Morning,
I have 6 seperate saving accounts with the post office for Home Improvement, Uk Holidays, Disney etc.  Ive just been told im only allowed one and need to close the rest.  Can anyone recommend somewhere i can save in seperate pots? I find it easier to manage my money this way as Its not long term saving and I access them as and when.
Thank you

The above thread is near the top of this forum...

Who says you must? There's loads of us on here with multiple issues of PO savings accounts.
They have a recently notified me by letter that they will close one (specifically identified) of my (several) accounts with no recent activity and under £20 on deposit, unless they see more activity. 
I've just upped the balance on that one and heard no more.

If it was in a telephone call you initiated (so not a letter from them giving notice) I'd ignore it, until you see lots more of us appearing on here with similar comments. Their CS is diabolically poor and often incorrect.

edit: PS I have more than you do.

Soul saver you are fab!! The lady was so rude to me on the phone.  Its been working really well for me and yes they haven't written to me to close any of them so I will keep for now

Have to agree with most of the above comments i.e. ignore the customer rep who told you that !!
The most I have ever had running at the same time was 12 ( for DD purposes) and still hold 8 all currently taking a DD from different current accounts.
I have often been told by PO customer services that I shouldn't have more than one but always ignore them and nothing ever changes.
The only time problems occur with multi accounts, is when I have tried to change any DD details as this seems to throw their systems into a frenzy and their customer service lack the ability to sort it out.

..as above the PO customer service is notoriously bad!! After some very bad experiences I left them for good a long time ago and would never go back. There seems to be a steady stream of threads that crop up from time to time that suggest they still have some  major problems in this department......
