I have been trying to get my son to save for years. Eventually he agreed to buy some savings bonds. NS&I requested id, passport, driving licence all signed by a professional. We did this and sent back - they stated they had it. Then sent out a request for more. Anyway they took more of his money - over the phone - then sent it back saying the account had been blocked for 21 days.
We then received a letter from Customer Services Manager - Andreana Carrigan - stating that the account had been cancelled. But she would hope that we invest with NS&I in the future!
I contacted customer services wanting to discuss with Andreana Carrigan - apparently she does not take calls! - when asked why they stated this was just a name the put on the letters and was not actually a person.
THE WORST SERVICE I have ever encountered. Do not use these monkeys - they have not put my son of saving for life! I am furious. So disappointed.
