Yeah where is Mr TSB ?
A comedy I assume:D:D. It should get better on Wednesday as Pester is appearing before MPs again.
I emailed him, he replied promising me a call back from their head of customer service contact me 'as soon as possible' - granted he didnt give any timescales, but four weeks is a long time.
Anyway, he has either been sacked or put me on his block list as he hasnt responded to any of my following 7 emails. I gave up at that point. The CSA did make a note of this however.
Personally I think its not acceptable for the CEO to ignore any email
And before anyone jumps in asking if I actually think he personally replied - to be honest, I dont care. The email came from his email address and was signed off by him, so thats good enough for me!
Must have skimped on testing this new platform before hand. The original timescale given for this "upgrade" in the email I received was 50 hrs. How much time effort and money did they actually put into checking it all worked properly? Cutting corners with peoples finances and getting what they deserve now.
I've not seen anyone 'defend' the bank or try to 'justify' errors. It's an extraordinary suggestion that anyone would.
And who are 'the regulars' Aren't you one - you've been here 9 years and posted a lot. That's longer than me and I'd call myself a regular.
I've seen one regular (you know the one I mean) call another regular, who simply posts factual stuff, 'Mr TSB' but that's just that particular regular doing a bit of childish playground name-calling that he clearly knows is nonsense. That particular name-caller does, interestingly, also post sensible stuff from time to time.
But back to TSB and people 'defending' them. TSB have messed up. Big time.
Who, particularly since the initial few days when we all expected (as one would) that it would quickly blow over, has suggested they haven't?
