I only really started opening Regular Savers in anger this year, I appear to have over 40 already! I feed them from easy access accounts with lower rates, so slowly but surely my average interest rate goes up every month - until the next BOE rate cut of course.3

I may ditch that pain in the a** monmouthshire RS now.1 -
I've triggered the Virgin Money anti fraud team, I'm on hold to them at the mo, I was almost done funding my other regular savings accounts too, meh, only had a Principality or 2 left to fund.
Hardly unusual behaviour to be honest I always move money at the start of the month to do this.
The only thing different is I've transferred out of the matured regular saver into my current account.0 -
I applied for the new Virgin online even though the emptied version was still showing as a regular saver but with a zero balance. I just said that I held no other RS. Application went through without a hitch but they 'need to go over it in more detail' and I'll hear in two working days. Why it wasn't automatic as others have found I've no idea.2

That's the form you use, with the sort code and account number of your matured (or not yet matured) RS.That is what they say.
We recently received an online request to close your savings account, unfortunately we are unable to action this request at the moment due to the account having a credit balance. Please transfer all the money in your account to another account and resubmit the closure request online.
Kind Regards
