Wunout O | Is my money save in the Bradford & Bingley? |
5 yrs ago, the wife and I put £30K in a 5 yr fixed rate bond in the B&B.
In about 6 weeks the 5 yrs is up and the bond matures.
The combined Net interest for the 5 yrs comes to about £7500, making a total of £37,500.
The Papers seem to think that the B&B is on the verge of collapse.
I know that the Gov guarantees a joint savings account up to £70K.
My question is, if the B&B goes bust before the 6 weeks is over, do we get back £37,500 or just the £30,00 we originally deposited?
Additional Details
Is the interest added on yr by yr or just in one lump sum at the end of the 5 yrs? |

The State guarantee is £35000, full stop. 'Technically' you would lose the extra £2500 if it had all been credited to your account. In this respect you willneed to carefully read your Certificate and/or associated documents. I personally think your interest is added on maturity, therefore you would get back your £30000. Why not 'phone their Head Office in Bingley for further info.
However, you should consider logic here. When B&B had a 'Rights' issue recently at 55p per share, only 25% of the shareholders took it up. The other big banks here picked up the remaining 75%; in money terms the total was £400 m, so the banks stand to lose £300 m. That will never happen. You have you say 6 weeks to go. To give you a little comfort a new banking professional has been parachuted in and he's slimming the organisation down - 400 job losses - in readiness for a take-over eventually by, presumably, one of the involved banks. Again B&B are heavily involved in very bad lending and USA toxic assets; hopefully USA Congress will do what George W Bush wants and everyone can give a sigh of relief.
You will I am sure be quite anxious for the next few weeks but in the short span of time left you should emerge unscathed. No-one can do better than that.
My B&B shares that were worth £8000 are now worth about £400, so you will end up in a far more favourable position than me.

another bank in trouble but i say any business works if youve got customers and savers
what dosnt work is when people running the business take out more than it takes in
this from an article says it all if you read it........................
Clive Cowdery’s Resolution Ltd. offered last month to inject 400 million pounds in Bradford & Bingley. Resolution withdrew the offer because Bradford & Bingley’s board was “obstructive” and wouldn’t allow access to the bank’s books.
what do you think would you prop up a business that wont let you see the books????? would you put your money in ???
make up your own mind
i wouldnt trust them with 50 pence

silverbars
|
hi, after reading this question i thought you might be interested in looking at solid silver bars as either a short term or long term investment. I have a contact where i can get either 1 kilo or 5 kilo bars for a great price and have been dealing with them for quite a few years now and have never had a loss on this commodity. i have many references that you can contact as to my reputation and also i have a good standing with ebay with 600 plus positive feedback.if you are interested let me know and i am sure i can get you a very reasonable price.

The B&B won't just go bust. It will be taken over by another bank or maybe the Govt. like NR. It won't just be allowed to fail. So your bond is safe.There is no way the Govt. will let savers lose any of thier money. It would be too damaging in terms of confidence for the rest of the retail banking system, |

No need for long answer.
£35000 protected and that's it.
You should spread your money around different banks

Right the guarentee is actually £35,000 not £30,000.If nationalised all saving no matter how large will be guarenteed as in Northern Rock.There is zero chance you will lose any money. |
