I received the ISA interest today, 24 hours late in my opinion.
Anyway, all well that ends well.0 -
I thought the online maturity form was quite comprehensive in asking customers whether they wanted to invest in a new FM account and how much; how much to an existing FM or linked account, and what they wanted to do with the interest.
I opted to reinvest some funds + interest in another FM ISA and fixed rate saver, the remaining funds in my FM flexible saver until I've decided what to do with it. Logged in on maturity date and it was all in order.Free thinker.:cool:0 -

The usual procedure for a short number is to insert leading zeroes.
If posting a paper form, just include a covering note.0 -

I transferred mine into an existing Nationwide ISA. As Ford Money wasn't on the list of providers from which Nationwide can request online transfer, I had to complete a form.
There was no issue with the transfer.0 -
I just needed to treat it as a Roll Number. I spoke to the Ford Money and found them really helpful. 10 minutes later I had my Transfer Out instruction in with The Coventry. Maturing ISA Funds going in to my existing Easy Access ISA.Arch0

The way around that was to open a Ford Flexible ISA together with the RS ISA, fund the Flexible ISA in the 2017-18 tax year with sufficient funds to cover the RS ISA deposits, and move the money into the RS ISA monthly as required.
That way, you would only have subscribed to the ISA in a single tax year. Even though you made a final deposit into the RS ISA in the following year, it was already subscribed in the previous year. This only works because Ford ISAs are flexible, allowing you to spread contributions across more than one of their cash ISAs.
The RS ISA would then have been a 2017-18 ISA when transferred, rather than straddling two years.0 -

Hmm, didn't think of that. I simply made 11 monthly payments and didn't bother with the last in this FY. For the sake of a month's interest on £250 I'm happy enough though.0 -
nor did I ! duh0
