Last week the Financial Services Compensation Scheme website said that they were hoping to get the arrangements sorted out by the end of the week. Now its next Friday.

  • Diary of an Icesave Customer (Part 2)

    So I was right to be worried about where the money was going to come from to cover the Icelandic compensation scheme.

Normally you are able to transfer funds between...
