Jake complained to TSB two weeks ago via its online system as he couldn't log in to his account - the bank initially got back to him and offered £25 compensation, but Jake got back in touch and challenged this. He told TSB he would norrmally move money into the account each month manually and then earn interest on this, but didn't while the problems were ongoing because he couldn't access the account. He was then offered a further £20 to cover the interest he would have got if he'd made the transfers.

Not particularly impressed by that one. He got £25 initially, yet challenged it on the tiny amount of interest that he'd get for topping off the balance for a short period of time.

And what's your point? Why are you annoyed.

People...Please remember that TSB are at fault. Not the people for complaining. Not right for anyone to comment or criticise people for their complaints.

Because he already had a more than proportionate response to his complaint before he continued to complain. Although since you're asking that question, I suspect you may feel it doesn't matter as long as the customer benefits.

In which case I'd suggest also that because TSB are flooded with complaints, there's probably people out there who need TSB's overwhelmed customer service rather more than those people complaining on the basis that the £20 they've already been given somehow isn't enough to cover their loss of maybe 50p, and similar complaints.

I suppose the £2 million 'bonus' CEO Paul Pester has forgone can be divied up amongst its customers who complain. Trouble is the banks don't engender too much sympathy with their outrageous raft of charges for going overdrawn, for producing statements etc. so little wonder when the boots on the other foot:)

Mind you I expect Pester will be sacrificed in the next six months and be sent down the road muttering with a £2 million pound severance payment plus share options etc etc.

My only sympathy for TSB is at micro level, the branch staff, customer services, back room staff but not for the TSB brand nor for Pester who was disingenuous with his proclamations of 'everything is working fine now' or 'only a small minority of customers are affected'.

I'm hoping for a small compensation payment as it has taken up hours of my time reading all the mse threads:)

Pester might have gone already. After replying to my first email (as I couldnt contact anyone after having NO response at all to my complaint) I emailed him, he initially responded* and since his promise of a phone call 10 days ago hes gone AWOL.

*I know the likelihood of it being him that replied are small, but it was from his email - therefore in my eyes hes put his name to it!

People are just milking this.

I have received a £150 and a £250 payment (as an apology I have been advised).


This was because of the problems with the systems and also because they are upgrading the mortgage system, so I can't transfer my mortgage to another fixed rate at the moment, which has the potential to cost me hundreds of pounds due to the variable rate being much higher than what I was on.

I havent asked for anything back apart from the amount I am out of pocket, no more no less. Why shouldn!!!8217;t I?
