They lied when they said that you can withdraw cash from your ISA - honestly, they did!
I've just returned from my local Nationwide Branch to do just that, and was told,
"I'm sorry, we can't make a cash payment to you. I know it's awful isn't it, that you can't get at your own money? The best I can suggest, is, for you to go ring this number", pointing at it on my document (letter with my ISA details).
In fairness, she did smile, and apologise... well worth investing with 'Cheshire' then.
So, now I've had to send a Cheshire-ISA-Cheque-Withdrawal-Request-Form by post. Which means, instead of getting my money today, I shall have to wait many days, hmm! (unless, of course, they'll reveal even more ways to stall me)
If only I had known they won't let you readily access your money...
