Lalli Mar 2013 4:20pm, 27 Mar 2013 2,574 posts	Quote Pin Lalli That I paid a large cheque into my current account last Friday after closing as ISA and although it has cleared into my account, it is still not yet "available" - i.e. I can't transfer 3/4 of it elsewhere to pay for something else! Sent them a "secure message" to ask exactly when I can effect a transfer this morning - still had no reply. Pft!
