Hi Georgie

Thanks for your review. I'm sorry you weren’t aware that money held in Child Trust Funds/Junior ISAs was only available to the children, and only once they turn 18.

I understand how this can be frustrating, especially if you need to access to the funds now.

Unfortunately, this is a HMRC requirement, so not something we’re allowed to change – and applies to all CTFs/JISAs.

However, I’d like to see if there is something we can do to help, so please can you email customer.relations@onefamily.com, and we’ll be in touch.

Thanks

TERRIBLE!!!

Multiple times this shoddy organisation has let me and my friends down. From taking over three times the promised length for transferring funds, to leaving me stranded in a foreign country with no way of accessing my money, One Family is truly a deeply poor organisation that cares more for the reputation of the company than it does about you. Save yourself the difficulty now and put your money somewhere else. Somewhere safe, somewhere reliable and somewhere you can reach it.

Fab and easy to use!

When my mum lost access due to forgotten details, they were really helpful in getting her back into my and my sister's account/child trust funds. Then when it was handed over to me, my options were so clearly explained by one family that it felt so easy to make a decision i felt good about. A really thought-through and easy-to-use website that makes feeling in control simple.

Completely failed to put through an ISA transfer, completely failed to let me know, completely failed to tell me my application was time lapsed, completely unavailable by phone, dozy and dilatory at every point.

Hi

Sorry to hear we made an error when transferring your ISA, and that the level of support you've received from us since hasn't been at the level you'd (or we'd) expect.

So we can have a look into this for you please can you email your details to customer.relations@onefamily.com and we'll be in touch.

Withdrew a CTF quickly

Withdrew a trust fund and received the funds within 3 days. The OneFamily fees are high, so make sure you start your adult Stocks & Shares ISA with a reputable 0% fee platform to keep way more in the long term.

Our mother sadly died recently and we feel extremely frustrated by our experience with one family

Our mother, Mrs Sheila Wood, sadly died quite recently. She and her deceased husband had a small investment with One Family to cover their funeral costs. The cheque payment from OF was sent to the executors 2 months ago - but to the completely wrong address, The cheque was fraudulently cashed. We immediately reported this to OF and the police online fraud and we gave the police crime number to OF. We assumed the cheque would have been immediately cancelled, the bank informed and a new cheque re-issued. Countless phone calls have ensued over several weeks, while simultaneously dealing with all death &funeral costs etc . As of July 24th, some 9 weeks later, the matter is still being looked at and remains with the complaints department. As a family we would very much like to get some closure on this rather than it drag on indefinitely. Our late mother would be mortified that her effort to help the family after her death has resulted in such disarray.

I wasn’t aware I had an account with OneFamily until a social media post told me about some money people born within a certain period had £250-£500 in an account.

Verification was easy, just needed my N.I. Number and ID verification was easy enough and funds were sent to my bank account in just over 2 business days!

I was afraid it might be a hassle to withdraw but nope, everything was quick and hassle free!
