Anyone here still banking with an Icelandic bank?

**** me I'd be a bit more pro-active if I had £200K riding on this one.

"FSA website says just wait and they will contact you."

Call them (on the phone, you know the thing people used before the Internet) and demand to know why your BACS was reversed and you'd like to have an official complaint on record. Ask about the legality of what has happened to you.

Then phone the BBC and give them your story.

Just this once do as the Dim one says

This is very worrying, the Daily Mash appears to have changed from satire to reporting reality.

It makes about as much sense...


...to me anyway. Mr peston will explain it clear as crystal to me later.

Thats not me , I suppose at least I'm lucky I dont have dependents like them or need the £ quickly and I did have some cash stashed else where.

Rang FSA, FSCS and its all still up in the air ICESAVE still havent declared insolvency, there is even talk now that the accounts might be sucked up by another bank, there is nothing more I can do but wait now.

$200k! Just sitting accumulating interest... (at least WAS accumulating interest)? Piss on 'em - they aren't THAT hard-up.

Why keep all of that money in one account when they should know that only a limited sum is actually guaranteed. It's stupidity !!

Probably greed. The more cash you have in a single account the more interest you are likely to earn with the scaled interest rate structures most savings accounts have.

I was going to transfer what was left in Kaupthing into my ING account. But ING have done it for me!
