Chantal Reyneke at Croydon is amazingly hard-working and helpful. She is a great problem-solver and dealt with our roles as Powers of Attorney. She was far more help to us than Head Office had been when we rang them for help. Hang on to her - give her a bonus.

Rubbish customer service

I opened a 1 year ISA and strangely 3 months later they emailed me stating I could top up my 5 year ISA which I immediately refuted. They stated all they could do was close the 5 year and open a 1 year and the penalty would be a year's interest. The correspondence I received was addressed to a different person so I believe it was their mistake. All I asked was a bit of goodwill but I got that is the best we can do.
Update
I have already discussed this with your complaints person and got no satisfaction.
