Woe in sight for savers who have invested in the Italian Post Office and “its” interest-bearing bonds. That’s why there is something wrong.
ANSA, MAURIZIO BRAMBATTI, Rome good fruiting from Post Italian have returned to the market and seem to be of great interest to Italian citizens and users, who have always been very attentive to savings systems. Especially in times of uncertainty and fear for the future, being able to make a nest egg can become decisive for new generations. In the past they have reserved great surprises for those who have saved up and then find themselves a small safe to draw from after a few years of waiting and some sacrifices. And the fruits were often enjoyed by children and grandchildren. Now Post Italian has made available a new tool which is likely to entice many customers and which represents a novelty compared to previous tools. But something doesn’t seem to come back.
Postal savings bonds, someone starts complaining
Who owns the Postal savings bonds he can get the money back when some time has passed. This time changes according to the series of the voucher itself, and it is possible to identify it with a series of numerical codes. But in between, in reality, there are numerous cases of errors and discrepancies that cause inconsistencies in calculations and incorrect information to the detriment of small investors. That is why today postal savings bonds are at the center of the attention of savers. In particular, the savers of the Provinces of Venice, Verona, Treviso and Vicenza they subscribed some postal savings bonds, certain that they had bonds with a term of 20 years in front of them. After the time, presented at the post office for collection, the news that was communicated was completely different: not only the coupons of the AA1 and AA2 series had a maturity of 7 years (instead of 20 as it had originally been reported), but the 10-year statute of limitations. A hoax of enormous dimensions.
The reaction of Poste Italiane and consumers
Italian post he replied saying that nothing was more due to consumers, who were not aware of the fact that the conditions of the purchase were marked in a supplementary sheet that had not been submitted to them. The cases are not few and the association has registered initiatives “Consumers 24”according to which it would be possible to obtain restitution.
