Comments

1. I've got a 3 year old Halifax reg saver which Halifax seem to think is open, it has a balance of zero, I do not contribute to it but, I guess I could, but wont.....does that count ?
2. I've got a Manchester BS Reg Saver which I don't know why I opened, I have no intention of ever contributing any more to it. Manchester think it's a regular saver account but I'm using it as an easy access account........does that count ?
3. What about any reg saver accounts that have matured but have not been closed (usually because providers don't make closure easy).......technically those accounts are still open......do they count ?0 -

edit: I must check that I added in Mrs Bobblehat's contribution!

3 ... if you've moved the proceeds out of a matured account, or all but a nominal small amount, then I'd say no. If you've left the proceeds in, then I would say yes, as that is where you are still holding the money even though it's matured. Just my opinion ... others might think differently!
I'll update your entry, if you provide the new figures
