    Submitted the online form on 1st August. Not chased it but received £26.66 to my external account a couple of minutes ago and the Virgin saver account has disappeared.

    Mine has disappeared today (was still there 08.30) and interested credited to nominated account 

    I also submitted online form 1/8. Got cut off during Live Chat 7/8. 
    Hope VM (Nationwide) learn from this shambles but somehow ….

    Account closed and final interest received - whether as a result of the online closure process, or the call made to VM last week is anyone's guess...

    Total interest seems to be £165.82

    @ForumUser7 and @Nasqueron and @Ch1ll1Phlakes

    I have received a request by PM to remove the name of the VM customer services person.

    I have removed the name from my post but it remains on your posts. You may wish to remove the name from your posts.
    it might have been because I quoted someone, I didn't say the name of the person I spoke to:

    ETA - I found it was one I quoted, deleted

    They did mine this morning, kudos to the team, just need to remember to use the phone next time!

    £26.66 with a smidge of trailing interest I guess, £3188.66 total back from the saver (I opened it on 3rd July)

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    Same date of submission, same amount today as well but to my M Plus Saver, no chasing either.

    Thanks to those who flagged the zero balance requirement early doors.

    Since they still haven't closed my account or sent the interest after filling in their online form on 1st August I went on live chat for a second time this evening to put a complaint in. This time they told me it's not possible to close the account via their form and I need to phone or visit a branch to do it. I told them the online agent told me different on Friday and I know for a fact that others used it, but they stuck to their story.

    Am I the last person standing?

    Submitted my form on the 1st August, account disappeared from Virgin yesterday but no extra interest received either into Virgin or my linked, nominated current account.

    I think there should be a virtual trophy for whoever is last to receive their cash!

    Ditto! Submitted on the 1st and I noticed the account had disappeared this morning but no sign of the interest yet. I haven't called or chased at all.
