Has everybody deposited their ISA Money
16 Answers
The Halifax was packed out on the Saturday. Everybody was trying to open an Isa for the 2012 to 2013 year.
They were offering appointments but I could not get one till this Thursday.
I did mine on line on the Saturday but the funds were not transferred until yesterday.
I trust everybody else on this thread will have their £5,640 in their ISA by the end of this week so it starts to earn interest.
I think we should be compensated for 5 days loss of interest.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Anyone who had £5640 spare should have had it in another account paying a similar rate of interest and could have delayed transferring it to the ISA until Tuesday. In that way, all they'd have missed out on would be the difference between net interest and tax-fee interest.
And I've never had to wait for an appointment- I just open mine or transfer my ISA online

This post reminds me of a letter I recently read in the Sunday Times from a pensioner who was moaning about the recent Budget and the help offered to families with children when he and his wife had, because of the low interest rates on savings, lost out on £30,000 interest-yes interest!!!-in the last financial year so would be unable to invest their full ISA allowance this year! Makes my heart bleed. Most people-pensioners and families alike, just about make ends meet,so having money set aside to invest in an ISA is a luxury few can afford even if interest rates were good.
