It doesn't sound as though it has been "resolved" as sich, since doubts appear to remain. It looks as though the £50 don't represent the interest shortfall, but are just an ex-gratia "shut-up-and-go-away" payment.
It was !
However, since it is about equal to the amount I felt I was down by, I am happy enough, and I don't think that taking it further would help me or anyone else. If I ever take out a similar thing I will photograph the poster and get someone else to analyse the small print.
I must say I am tempted to move bank to the Halifax just to get the hundred quid sweetener, as the Abbey interest thing has left a bad taste, even with the 50 quid.
