This Is A Rant.........

3½ years ago both mic and I separately took out an isa bond with Legal and General promising a minimum of 14%. No problem until it comes to maturity and getting your money. At the time we took out the bond we gave our isa details on where we wanted the money to go.We were told it would be sent there. Since it matured all they have done is put obstacles in our way. Mic is now house bound so is unable to meet them. I did suggest they came here. Not a chance. While they still have the money it is not earning any interest. My building society are really trying to help, by sending forms through the post. Legal & General are a bag of Sh!t. I will have to go though this all again in 2015 as another of my bonds matures. I did say it was a rant.

Look on the bright side there's not much interest to be earned so you're only losing pennies.

Quite how I missed a bond paying 14% is beyond me, bugger!

oh good old L&G, many, many years ago working in a business that had them for insurance cover they were helpful, when it came to a claim, obstacle after obstacle. Haven't touched them in a personal capacity since then.

See if the financial ombudsman can be of any help Jeza.

Before going to the Ombusdman you need to have gone through the complaints procedure of the bank/building society in question.

Might be worth consulting the financial ombudsman

Thanyou all for your input. I'm hoping our building society will sort this for us.

When I had a problem with Santander that I could not solve on my own I wrote to Jessica Gorst-Williams of the Daily / Sunday Telegraph and she helped me very quickly. Santander immediately accepted that they were wrong and gave me full compensation. You can find her details in the paper or on-line.
