  • Darlington BS - Regular Saver Issue 2 - Opened - 12 September, trying to minimise interest paid this tax year - Darlington pays interest on 31 December - Just discovered account not closed after 28 days as per T+C so sent £1 to keep it active.  :)

    Have just submitted my principality maturity instructions, option 2 and the balance to an instant access account. A secure message has been generated so not confident that the instructions will be accepted.

    I have just done almost the same, option 2 to a new RS, balance to external account. No secure message generated. I did randomly pick a green item of clothing this morning.

    I caved and opened a Monument and next day it showed on my list of accounts. I then sent a £10 test payment and usually I get a confirmation email from Newcastle but this has not arrived. It has not bounced back either. 

    I had to ring them on Friday afternoon as I had the usual Newcastle website issues so I had to get an unlock and then I could log in to see if Monument was listed. I kept the assistant on the phone while I logged - 3 attempts .

    Today though its back to normal the website just wont let me log in - Am I the only one that has issues with the Newcastle website and logging in?

    SNIP
    FWIW, I've logged in to Newcastle BS on a number of occasions in recent days without issue, using Firefox.
    I did wonder if it was a browser issue but on firefox I still get the same fault message - the user ID is correct as is the password

    To principality worriers, I completed maturity options online and got a posted letter confirming my choice.  Looks like I m not on the naughty step.

    This is beginning to make me think that it's not choosing Option 2 or Option 4 that gets the secure message generated (which can, sometimes, lead to rejection of the maturity instructions). It's rather selecting an internal Principality account as the destination for the non-rollover funds.

    Just a thought, maybe warning
    I done option 2 and rest to external account yesterday rather than selecting another Principality account as I’ve done in the past. No secure message this time 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

    I selected option 2 (with remainder to external account) recently as I always do, and got confirmation I'm getting yet another 6 Month RS Issue 4.  I can confirm no green was worn at any time.

    I think you may be right.

    Is this option 2 or 4 on the form?
