Also, make sure that interest is added of at least 1/2% per month to the 
amount that was due 2.5 years ago.

|
| The FA who came to see me took from me a copy of the death cert to pass

|
| Since that time I have left messages frequently with the FA requesting
| information as to when I would be paid.
|
| This week I wrote a "7 days or see you in court" letter and the reponse
| was instant.
|
| Apparently ES have not paid because they have not had sight ot the
| letters of Probate - for which they never asked.
|
| Is this fair and reasonable?  My inclination is to report them to the
| FSA.
|
| Had I died in the past two years, no doubt the monies would have
| "disappeared.
