christhpc Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) 3.2 % with halifax what have you got? The Halifax have managed to balls up my transfer in and put me on a 0.5% rate (ISA Saver Direct) for a month. Told them to sort it and they said they would and with back-dated interest, just wait two weeks. That was three weeks ago. I've just written them a letter; man that's probably a less than 50% success rate on my ISA transfers, bloody useless (Halifax and Lloyds being the worst offenders so far - Abbey were pretty shit too) </cathartic internet moan> Edit: Now they appear to have voided my ISA and converted it to a 0.05% interest bearing Liquid Gold account. Gotta love dem state owned bankz. Edited June 21, 2011 by christhpc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SarahBell Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Well HBSC have rung twice asking if we want to keep our isas with them at 2.9% - they are not interested in matching any other rate so screw them! Will be moving them shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Bart' Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Even the 5 year fixes at 5% are barely adequate (I don't place too much faith in the validity of the official inflation figures). I fixed for 3 years at 3.9% about 18 months ago. It seemed a bit risky at the time as there was a feeling that IRs were sure to go up soon. Even with 3.9% tax free I'm seeing my savings eroded. Well, the portion of my savings that isn't in the shiny stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rw42 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Are there any accounts left that allow transfers in from expired ISAs? Had an old one with barclays, tried to transfer the old balance (in the now crappy interest account) into a new ISA as well as funding the ISA for that year, and they moved the money from the old ISA to my current account :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
