They have to reply within 8 weeks. If not, you could cut them some slack because they are obviously having big problems and allow them a little more time. At some point though, you should take it to the ombudsman.

I have 5 complaints outstanding, 5 email acknowledgements, one acknowledgement received in the post, no compensation, no fixes.

I didn't even get the automatic £25 compensation for the credit card direct debit !!!! up that most other people got.

I'm just waiting for the 8 week clock to run down, then I'll go to the ombudsman with each and every one. So that'll cost them £550 per case escalated.

I refuse to call them, on the basis that the last time I phoned I was on the phone for nearly two hours with no resolution or way forward provided, and AFAIK I have a duty to mitigate my losses...

There is only one thing worse than TSB IT systems - their customer "service" department:

Why? I dont care about their problems, 8 weeks is enough time imo. And IF I do call to chase or to ask if it has been allocated to a case handler, I expect nothing but empathy, not to be told calling up will not make it get resolved any quicker.

It is beyond a joke now, and as soon as I get what I am out pocket, back, I will (well, already have) move banks.

[FONT=&quot]I suffered no losses. I complained via their on-line portal, did not use any template.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]£50.00 compensation in my account this afternoon.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Thanks Martin Lewis for advising to complain and thanks TSB.[/FONT]

Upheld?

If you ‘suffered no losses’ why £50 compensation?:cool:

The stress and worry of not being able to log on and see my money for two weeks. I was almost suicidal.;)


I complained 7 weeks ago.

wizzywig27

Do you have a date please?

I think because mine is with executive complaints its holding it up!

No it won't. This has been dealt with repeatedly. See this from the Financial Ombudsman:

In April 2013, we introduced a group-charging account for the largest financial services groups. Around three quarters of our workload is now paid for on this more financially stable basis - by the businesses whose customers use us most.
http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/faq/businesses/answers/funding_a5.html

The result of this is that they pay a lower fee.
