LBG Savings accounts

So today I got emails from Bank Of Scotland, Halifax & Lloyds saying they closing my account, telling me to check the app inbox, panicked thinking !!!!!!?, so checked, it's all to do with 9 savings accounts (across the group), I haven't used the past year & they all going to be closed in January next year unless I deposit into them.

So in a way thanks LBG but they should really think the wording of their emails, nearly had a heart attack.

Suggestion, instead of:
We will be closing your account soon

The emails should say:
We will be closing your Savings account soon.

(Even though it may relate to more than 1 savings account)

    Even better - we will be closing your unused savings account soon.  I've been trying to get 2 of my unused ones closed for over a year now & have given up.  I will watch out for the letter.
