MSE News: TSB customers STILL unable to use online banking after weekend upgrade

For those who have had payments fail and who couldn't transact on their accounts, I'd expect them to get quite a bit more than me. It will be interested to see if that happens.
I had a payment fail about 10 weeks ago. A standing order was due to come out of my account, which had plenty of funds in it. Instead of the SO being paid I received a text message saying my account didnt have enough money, the SO hadn't been paid and I had to put money in my account or I would be charged fees. That was a worrying message to receive first thing in the morning!
Of course when logging in I had the amount there I thought I did which was more than enough to cover the SO. The SO had not been paid which caused a domino effect (the next account was now short of what it should be and so on). I also didn't know if I had to make a manual payment or if they would retry the SO again later. Had to call up and try and sort it out over the phone.
Put in a complaint about it, it's been well over 8 weeks and I have only had generic "we are looking into your complaint" type contact through the post so I have now escalated it the ombudsman. Fingers crossed, TSB are still an utter shambles.0 -

We both put in complaints on the 8th May 2018
and get letters, most months, saying they are looking into IT
but they are vey busy..
ie We will get in touch soon...…?0 -
I received 12 GBP + 250 GBP for complaining about 11.40 GBP telephone costs incurred after the upgrade back in April 2018. It took TSB 3+ months to respond to my complaint, but I am happy with this outcome. They might have just kept 1 customer although I have been looking around for a new bank.0

That's an incredible sum of money, what was the exact nature of your complaint?0 -
How many weeks are you at since complaining ? If 8 weeks then go to the ombudsman.
I complained on the 19/06 and received another holding letter at the end of last week. My complaint was mainly around lack of updates to credit files overstating my indebtedness after I cleared a 10k 0% Card with them but also included items around access, cashback and not taking direct debits (items that I would not have complained about individually but provide the scale of their failings over a sustained period.
I will give TSB opportunity to issue me with a response and then final response if necessary before escalating to the Ombudsman.
I do not think with the exception of extreme hardship that cases should be going to the ombudsman before TSB have responded as ultimately we all pay for these cases and I do believe I will get a better outcome from TSB as they will factor in customer retention into their award as opposed to financial / consequential loss that the ombudsman will use.0 -

No access for four months to my account and the Ombudsman have lowballed me with an initial offer of £50 although this amount is not their official amount yet.0 -

What do you mean by ‘no accesss for four months’?
What do you not have access to and what impact is that having?
If it is a total loss of all banking facilities with TSB through no fault or misconduct of your own I would be parking myself at the TSB Local Branch / TSB Head Office until it was sorted or moving banking facilities elsewhere
My laid back approach to TSB solving my complaint is they are paying me £6.23 every month for having £1500 sat in my account with them and I have 30+ current accounts and credit cards so do not rely on them for anything important0 -

No access to my current account due to the IT issues, TSB firstly denied I registered for online banking to the Ombudsman and then conceded there was an issue on their side.0 -
