Icesave customers still claiming

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7795354.stm

In short:
About 9,481 customers of Icelandic bank Icesave who are eligible to claim their money through internet have failed to do so. To make sure that every British Icesave customer gets their money back the Financial Service Compensation Scheme (FSCS) setup an online claim system which makes sure that the victims of the bankruptcy of Icesave get their money back within six weeks. The customers have until the 30th of December to claim their money back electronically, if they fail to do so they are going to have to do it through an alternative paper application system. Some 188,738 people have already used the online claim system.

What does Rene think about this:
This news probably reaches most of the UK, so the people who still have the chance to do this online have been warned now. Otherwise they can still use the alternative way, so everything is going to be all right for them. I chose this item because I thought it was going to be interesting as well for Dutch people, but I think it is the less newsworthy news item that I’ve read for this course. It actually only matters to the 9,481 customers who still have to sign up for the online claim system, they should feel very privileged that the press is informing them about this matter.
