    What are you on about? The accounts in your name so write a cheque out to youself with insutrctions on the cheque.... Seriously not difficult is it? You are making things more complicated than they need to be...

    I have just applied online for this Tax Haven ISA year 2008/09 and noted the following T & C.............

    I apply to subscribe for a cash ISA for tax year 2008/2009 and each subsequent year until further notice.

    Hmm will they start one automatically without informing me next tax year ie 2009/10 etc? I may want to start one with a new provider next year! Will I run into problems cancelling and re-opening etc?

    Omg... seriously, hence why I said in my post ' Write insutrctions on it'.......

    Its not hard to write a nice formal letter saying the problem you are having and that you want money from you currenct account into your ISA account via this cheque made out from your current account...

    Also, surely you have friends who could easily just go in, for yourself, with a cheque, by yourself, and ask to put it in the ISA?

    But I have a current account with them and its an online transfer. Will they use this agreement as a green light to transfer the money automatically next tax year?

    I don't think they can legally do that. I opened my ISA without a current account so I don't know how they would get my money and they didn't make me open one so I assume it will be there with £0 in doing nothing :)
