Nor am I any of the other 6 dwarves, but anyway...
Not really the email fault, more confusion with me and first use of the trading212 app.
Latest email does indeed say that trading212 is not accepting any new transfer in from an existing ISA, so I went looking and installed the trading212 app and created a new account. 
I saw the option for bank transfer in the app and thought that was the option to transfer in my ISA from other bank. I misrakenly did my last withdrawal from my existing cash ISA that I can do this year without the interest rate dropping to nothing. I was expecting to be able to transfer out of old, transfer into new, and have the ability to make withdrawals in the trading212 ISA.
I then found in the trading212 app that this was not the correct option and there is a different option for transfer in from another broker, which does indeed say they are not accepting any more transfer ins from another broker. I assume broker = my existing ISA.
Now I am scuppered, unable to make any more no interest rate affecting withdrawals, till the end of my current ISA year, or maybe until September when trading212 mention they may restart the transfer in's again.

Questions:
Who else is doing high interest easy access cash ISAs allowing transfer in?

What happens if I pull the money out of the current ISA to a normal bank account and then transfer up to £20000 from the bank account into the trading212 ISA, leaving a couple thousand still in the normal  bank account from the complete withdrawal of the existing ISA?

Thank you so much.
