I am currently having a spot of bother with BM. I wrote a letter asking to transfer my ISA to a different bank in March. I heard nothing so I sent another letter. Again I heard nothing so I phoned them. Apparently a cheque was sent but not cashed. They were going to follow up but again failed to contact me. After more phone calls they agreed to stop the original cheque and send out another one. They had some trouble passing me over to the department which deals with this and told me they would get the person to call me back. No one has called.

I suppose they aren't going to be interested in a customer who has already decided to move but they could at least return calls to get this sorted out. An ISA transfer is supposed to be completed within 30 days, but now nearly 4 months have passed.
