Hi there:

With my Fidelity SIPP, they simply froze it when their systems flagged up that I was a US person (which I had disclosed to them upon the original transfer from Hargreaves Lansdown). By freezing it, I was unable to conduct any transactions and interest & dividends could not be reinvested.

WIth the Iweb SIPP, they've merely sent a generic email with details of changes in t&c's. I'm going to hold on for now and see what happens - I'm still able to trade at the moment.

I am old enough to take a distribution but can't imagine that they would do that as that would crystallise tax charges - not somewhere they or I would want to go. I'll post an update if and when they take action - their changes to t&c's take place on 24th February. I imagine that if they do anything it will be to freeze the account in much the same way as Fidelity did - forcing me to sell (currently 11 funds), transfer and reinvest.

Thanks for the info. I've been curious how providers will deal with accounts belonging to "US persons" and it's good to get some concrete details.
