Mansfield BS. - MiIestone Saver - To close or withdraw from a branch or postal account they charge an excessive £25 for an electronic payment. The only other option is the cheque in the post. Not a great option.

Milestone Saver - That`s quick. I did the same. If your deposit was by cheque hopefully it will have a January date facilitating another £500 payment for February. To avoid the deposit cheque bouncing I was going to have the necessary funds in my current account from tomorrow. Does that seem ok?

I would yes, but it'll likely be Thursday or Friday it'd actually leave.

Hi folks - sorry slightly off topic (this is just about the only thread I read on here)…

Has the formatting changed on this thread recently or is it just the removal of the Mansfield envelope posts which has sent this out of kilter a bit?

It's seems especially different on quoting.

I don't want to set this thread off topic for pages but just interested if it's just me?

I'll remove this post once I get any confirmation 👍

I'll also mention whilst I'm here that I'd rather people refrain from discussing the new text editor on this thread and instead make your views on the new text editor known on the dedicated feedback thread on the link below:

All I shall say on the matter though is that one of the many drawbacks of the new text editor is that when replying to a post that quotes another post, the editor generates a link to the old quote instead of displaying the text of the original quote.

To save having to jump through multiple links could I ask that people state which account(s) they are referring to each time they make a post. It doesn't necessarily need to be a title as such but just make sure you mention in the post somewhere which account(s) it is.

Hopefully a fix can be made at some point to allow you to have layers of quotes without links appearing everywhere so that my last paragraph becomes unnecessary but until then we'll just have to make the best of things.

If anyone wishes to discuss this further please make a post in the feedback thread:

Note I opted out of receiving notifications when people mention me but I am following the above thread so if you post in it I shall see it.

My Progressive RS3 hits its 1 year anniversary on 30th Jan. I've received no communications from Progressive, is closing my account on 30th my best option here? I know there was a better paying account they wouldn't allow existing RS holders to open, can't seem to find that listed now so I'm guessing it's gone. I can't find my original documents from when I opened my account.

TIA

There was another Progressive BS Online Regular Rainy Day Saver at 7% but this went NLA late last year IIRC.

I'd be inclined to keep hold of an EA account with £1 (the maturity account would suffice) just to keep a foot in the door. When Issue 1 was launched it was originally available to new customer living in Northern Ireland and new customers living anywhere in the UK so it potentially saves a job.

re. progressive

assuming it is the rainy day saver, it matures into an instant access online account.

id suggest withdrawing down but not closing it completely. they may bring in a new issue of the rainy day saver and still having online access will save having to go through their selfie id nonsense again.
