Did you lose it on interest, micky?
No. It was called an ISA safe investor account. Today I went down and closed it before I lose any more. I was then told that despite having lost thousands on this (not lost ! it was stolen) I have been given £300 interest on the account.
I then contacted a financial Ombudsman and told him that I had been given the wrong advice from the Halifax advisers. He is now taking up the case for me but in the meantime, I am just cutting my losses.
