I had to close my ISA at the Halifax yesterday. £6,330. 73 has disappeared from it since 1/1/08.

I call that ROBBERY.

I would have felt better giving it to you Andy. Maybe you misread it ? The sum was £6,330.73 pence.

I am emotionally attached to my money and strongly dislike having it stolen.

It's now in the hands of the Ombudsman.

OH MY GOD I SEE IT NOW
When the Halifax and the Bank of Scotland merged i feel that the service i get from the Bank of Scotland has dropped by about 30%

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.

I know what an ISA is but what i dont get is how it just went. Did it literally just disappear?

Since last January, it went down at the rate of a few hundred pounds a month, I questioned this with the advisers and was told that it would go up and down !!! It didn't,,, it only went down.

That's an "ISA safe investor account"??? Hate to see their version of an "unsafe investor account".

So it DID go down with the interest rates then. How were you robbed? unsure.gif
