    [Removed by Forum Team] came back to me as well and told me I wasn’t allowed another regular saver 3. Oh well, was good for the short time it lasted.

    [Removed by Forum Team] from Principality has not been your friend for sure and it's annoying not being able to make some extra interest. Rachel from Accounts is perhaps more of a concern to us and could cost us far more of future returns e.g. ISA's but we shall see. 

    Anyhow, it's all been fairly quiet on the regular saver front, not many new accounts and mainly notices of rate reductions. 

    Personally, I am hoping the Virgin regular saver is still around in July when my 10% version matures. Skipton is also maturing in about 2 weeks for me and of course I am hoping [Removed by Forum Team] will not block me from having a third issue 3 regular saver so going to submit maturity instruction online on the day before maturity after business hours on the 4th.

    My 3rd and 4th issue3s are coming on 30th May and 5th June respectively.  I've received e-mail and letter confirmation for both. I expect them to be opened as promised. 

    I'm hoping for Virgin too. Both 10.38% RSs, "82"and "05", mature on 1st and 2nd June respectively. I hope 6.5% option will still be there. £500 p/m @6.5% would be awesome.  I've now lowered my margin to 5%, this month I've funded all 5%-ers except Suffolk and Coventry Loyalty 3, next month I will probably fund these two as well.

    Are you sure about that June date for the 10.38% account? The KPI says it matures on 31 July?

    I also have issue 1 & 2 of the RS's maturing in 1st week of June and I submitted the maturity instructions as soon as they became available online, without seeing about this issue on here. I have also had emails and letters confirming my instructions, so hope it goes through.

    Does principality farm out this work to the branches? maybe if you are tied to a branch where [Removed by Forum Team] works is the factor here or just random (bad) luck....

    She is part of the "digital service team" so I am guessing there is a team of people at head office who process these maturities.

    Just got to hope it's not [Removed by Forum Team] who processes your maturity!

    Yeah, my two are 31st July too, I don't thing anyone else's will be any different.

    That's the trouble when you start asking questions. Just keep your mouth shut, and no one will notice!
    Just to clarify, I didn’t ask any questions. It was a response to submitting maturity instructions, like all of the other posters who have had the same outcome.
