    Phone LTSB - Andover on: 01264 356535. They are a pain in the a*se, I'll agree. Funny enough there's a member of staff who works at their Andover office, un-cannily named Joanne Pain ( in the ....... )

    Send copies of ALL box standard letters, received from LTSB to the FSA.

    Thanks very much for your reply.
    i have just rang and spoke to someone from there..

    she said they sent that letter yesterday to inform us they have the claim and are looking into it and will be in touch within 8weeks?
    does this sound right for a hardship case or should it be dealt with sooner? :confused:

    All hardship cases should be dealt with immediately, but LTSB and Abbey seem to think they are above the law. I received a letter from LTSB today; same reply as you. Apparently, the FSA are compiling evidence against LTSB re: bank charges since the hardship waiver was introduced; repeat ' box standard ', letters sent to customers.

    ...some letters I sent the FSA a couple of weeks ago, were passed onto the LTSB supervisors, at the FSA.

    The bank have 8 weeks to deal with a complaint from the point that they receive it, hardship cases are no different to this basic part of the process.
    I have not worked for NatWest Bank since February 2009
