Anyone else affected by this? I had all my ISA's with them, am due to buy a house in a months time, and now have no access to my money :(

F**K!

 

The chap who sits next to me at work has a substantial amount with them, I've spent the day sending him links to frozen goods and playing Bjork records.

No, but it was one of Martin Lewis's favourites for drip-feeding wasn't it? Supposedly protected by the Iceland equivalent of our £35k whatsit.

 

Doesn't sound good.

 

We just need house prices to half/third, and land prices accordingly, then the market will be good again and I might buy a house :thumbs:

 

Cheap house prices and cheap fuel will surely make everything good again? Surely all this crap is caused by just those two things being so unrealistically high?

Not sure if this was implied, just checking that I read you right: I thought it was unlikely anyone would see *any* interest from a fixed one year bond if the bank went poof before they paid the interest out? Terms seemed to be that the interest was to be paid at the end of the year (i.e. on maturity) if I remember correctly, unless your 1 year deal was different to ours (which was due to mature in February :() I haven't checked all the latest about it mind you, so if you have some good news - that would be most welcome ;).

Ah just discovered why we don't have the interest - apparently it was an option to pay it all at the end a and also monthly.... seems we had the yearly pay for some reason or other :( FFS
