Well Weird!
I've actually had problesm with them trying to transfer money IN to the Leeds Building Society isa from by current a/c.
Three months ago, i transferred from my current a/c to the Leeds Building Soc ISA - the transaction went through ok on line. When I contacted my current a/c bank, they spent few minutes checking and said all ok at their end but money not accepted by Leeds Building Soc.
So I went in to the Leeds branch and they gave me a strange technical explanation that involved my having to pay £1 in to the isa a/c that day which I did. I went back home and transferred the mnoey on line agian.
Next current a/c statement arrrived and the money's bounced back. When I wnet in to leeds Building Soc today, the girl straight away without looking anywhere said it was the other bank's fault. I then repeated what I#d been told by her colleague a month before when lbs had said I needed to reactivate the account and pay £1 and then all ok. I also said I was getting a bit annoyed as I wasn't getting the interest. She said "really! You're not getting any interest from this account?". - totally missing the point that I wasn't getting the interest form the building society a/c which was the whole point of trying to transfer it! She then said no-one available to help as saturday afternoon and asked me where I worked. I answered her question as to where I worked and she told me I could go in to branch there to sort out. i don't really get much time at lunchtimes and it's not convenient for me and I object to her telling me this...I've decided it's going to be easier to just open an accout elsewhere.
