I have paid into two stocks and sharea ISAs by mistake.

I opened a stcks and shares ISA late last tax year and paid a small amount in. I continued paying into this when this tax year started. I misunderstood the isa rules and olened a new ISA this tax year and paid a small amount in but regular payments where still going into the one i opened last year. On realising my error i have stopped any payments to my new ISA and have continued to use my previous ISA this year. The money in the fresh stocks and shares ISA i opened this year has accrued no significant capital gains or interest etc and im making no further payments into it this year. Should I close the new ISA or can i just leave it frozen? I wish to use my older ISA for this years allowance and then possibly use the newer ISA for next years tax year. Any advice would be appreciated. I only put 1500 in the new ISA before I realised my error. The older ISA has the bulk of my ISA savings for this year.

Hi Bunc,
If the new account is not a stocks and shares isa, then you are ok to continue with your payments into both. see further guidance at Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)
Thank you.

Apologies if i wasnt clear. The new one was also a stocks and shares ISA. I misunderstood the rules. On discovering my mistake i ceased payments into the new one as i didnt want it to be my stocks and shares ISA for this year as i only planned to lut a small amount in it this year and use it fully next year. I now realise i shouldnt have put anything in it. Ive left what i have in it basically frozen. The amount is small. Id prefer to keep the account open so i can use it next year. Note for clarity - i didnt actually ooen two stocks and shares ISAs this year. I opened a new one thinking i could lut a small amount in it while still using my older one for the bulk kf my stocks and shares savings. I now realise this was an error in understanding on my part and that although i could open a new one this year i could only pay into one of them.
