Thought i may get a quicker response

no. because the govt will invest it for you in a stakeholder fund for you after 12months. (the stakeholder fund is more risky but yields morethan no-stakeholder funds). after 7(?) or 13(?)years, the money is gradually moved into less risky options so that the returns in the account will stabilise in time for their 18th birthdays wheen they can access their money.

poss refer it to your local office of fair trading as this may be a scam and they should be able to pass you on to someone in their office that deals with scams.

feel rubbish now
I got a letter from Scottish friendly saying that as i have not invested the voucher an account had been opened on my behalf(stakeholder)
I phoned them as i had not received any details and they sent me an application form.

ooh i don't know then. have you filled in the form?

and had you invested it?

not yet.

no they said they had on my behalf.

hmm. i should go to citizenn's advice bureau to see if they can help you with the legalities of it. don't fill in the form as i'm pretty sure that the gov't may have invested it for you if your dc is now 1. if s/he isn't yet one, report them to trading standards and still see cab.
