Of course you would. :cool:

Who would have believed this is the same company that almost collapsed in 2008 if it were not for the £17,000,000,000.00 (yes count those digits! :eek:) the UK government had to inject to keep it afloat. You don't get much redundancy when a company goes bust.

It happened once, and the signs are it could well happen again (and the UK government are making plans to ensure it won't have to bail them out next time).

At a time when the majority of the world's banking sector were in financial meltdown, I somehow doubt you could have just walk into a new job.

Coffee anyone? I thought I could smell some on the go

What a great post! Well it might have been if you had bothered to actually read the thread properly (despite having already commented on it). At what point did i say i work for Lloyds TSB?

White with 1 sugar please!

The Financial Ombudsman Service does indeed have no jurisdiction in Guernsey which is also covered by its own legal system.

Whoops, my mistake That was the company the loan was with.

But nevertheless, the principle holds.
When the whole financial sector were making mass redundancies, it was unfortunately not easy to just walk into another job in that sector.

I'll make sure it's not decaff!

Whilst it is true that we saw a small downturn in business in 2009 Guernsey seems to have escaped relatively unscathed and has bounced right back. The emergence of QROPS over the last few years has certainly helped the industy i am in.

Thought I would update you on this.

I today received £2,344 from Lloyds TSB. At least that amount is now showing on my statement with a narrative of "refund" so i'm guessing it is not a mistake.
