You're not the only one. No reply envelope included with my maturity letter either.

Loughborough RS Maturity

Neither an prepaid envelope in my maturity letter, nor any mention of electronic transfer (the maturity instructions form shows only two options: 1) transfer to another Loughborough account I have, or 2) transfer to a new Loughborough account)…

Skipton RS

I was about to do this with both, the regular RS and the members' RS, but in the terms each says that you can't hold any other RS. So now may just leave it. (Both mine mature in July).

@Bridlington1 It might be worth updating the info on page 1 for this Member Regular Saver as currently the product info on Skipton's website states: "This account is part of our Regular Saver range. You can only hold one product from our Regular Saver range in your name at any one time."

On the other side of the page, there should be options to close the account and transfer the balance internally or externally.

The loophole of being able to hold both the standard & member Skipton RS's was closed in February and the T&Cs were updated. My standard RS is about to mature, but like others, I won't be able to apply for another as I also hold the members RS too. Another one bites the dust, along with the Saffron BS having a members RS available in September (UK Savings Week which was rather disappointing last year), and not June.

Ha, and so it does. Not like me not to miss things like that. Must be the heat!

I was going to say the same thing to OP - glad they have found the solution. Caught me off guard as well when I opened it, they have re-done the form - believe it previously used to be one sided. Therefore, we can attribute this to fantastic memory! 😂

The Being nosey... How many Regular Saver accounts do you have? thread is being relaunched.

I did plan to post this yesterday, but decided to give them another day to fix the notification issues on the forum before doing so just in case (no such luck I'm afraid).

As you'll see from the other thread, @topyam has taken the decision to step back from maintaining The Being nosey ... How many Regular Saver accounts do you have? thread, this is because he's struggling to find the time to update it owing to commitments outside of the forum.

As a result, @topyam, @Bobblehat and I have agreed the thread should be relaunched and its scope formalised, with the following changes coming into effect:

A new thread titled ``How many regular savers do you have? - The League Table" is to be launched by myself in the early hours of Sunday 31st May, with Bobblehat's league table and an introduction to it on page 1. Bobblehat shall then send me his updated tables, which I shall add to p1 of the new thread.

The scope of the new thread shall have its scope restricted to the following:

• People reporting their updated figures to be included in the league table
• Feedback and comments on the league table itself

Discussion about regular savers, your ``regular saver strategy" and reasons for having your regular savers are to fall under the scope of the Top Regular Savers Discussion Thread only.

Topyam's existing thread shall then be closed to prevent people getting accidentally resurrecting it (not as if that's happened before), thanks to @Dizzycap for kindly agreeing to do this .

A link to the new thread shall be included on page 1 of this thread.

I shall take this opportunity to thank you all for your contributions to the regular savers threads and would appreciate your patience as we move to the next phase of the thread.

Regarding paperwork.

For lack of any other entertainment (and as its too hot to venture outside) I've started to go through old savings paperwork in some attempt to bring order out of chaos, trying and failing miserably

- just put the Yorkshire Building society paperwork in date order and found 31 letters saying "Thank you for opening a new account" dating back to January 2022 - that's for 2 people.

It all feels a bit too recent to dispose of anything.

Principality folder will be the very last folder to be tackled if I ever get this far - hopefully normal weather will be resumed shortly.

I went to look at renewing my bos RS the other day having seen a suggestion on here it was now possible to do so via the app and sure enough it showed up as being an option. Oh good I thought I'll do that before the weekend. Now I go to do ot and it doesn't offer that a cou t as one to renew. Anyone else had the same problem!!!
