TSB complaint. Compensation offered.

BodyOfBones

I made a complaint on day 3 of the meltdown because I was unable to pay a bill of £1200 from my account. I ended up borrowing the money from my brother to pay the bill. I was able to get back onto my account on day 6 by getting up at 05:30 and getting onto my account on the 5 or 6th attempt about 0615.

I had a holding reply about 5 weeks later and then heard nothing till 7th of November when I received a phone call to confirm the details of my complaint. Not happy because of length of time of complaint and the person I spoke to said he would make a decision based on our conversation. When I asked how long that would take he said 3 weeks. That was my breaking point. I then got rather loud but never lost my temper saying how unacceptable it was.

My next contact was another phone call, this time a lady who wanted to ask some more questions. I pointed out that the last person had said 3 weeks and it was now December 4th so 1 day short of 4 weeks. To cut a long story short I said that if this was not sorted within a week or they sent me a deadlock letter so I could go to the regulator I would go into a branch and basically loose it.

2 days later I had £250 plus £50

In submitting the complaint and 2 phone calls it was around 75 minutes of my time. I had no additional costs.

All I was only looking for was an apology and about £30 so I gave £250 to charity.

£25 just appeared in my account, marked as FP but no reference. I assume this is compensation for my complaint which was very minor.

Another holding letter received today so what was the random £25 for ?

Final resolution letter received today. They do not uphold the complaint but the £25 was for the time taken to come to that decision. No point in taking it any further as the £25 is way more than any financial loss, the complaint was more over procedure which is no longer relevant anyway.

After making a complaint in June and several holding letters later, I have now been given a sum of money to rectify the missing amount, plus compensation. They sent me a text and a letter is on they way.

After putting a complaint in June 2018 heard back Friday about it finally being resolved and would hear back in a few weeks about compensation. Wonder what i'll get looks like they spin the wheel and you get what it lands on

Just tried to use TSB internet banking. It's still painfully slow and flaky (slow, constant timeouts, requests not working properly - I can only make internal transfers, so can't get my compensation payment out!). How can anyone actually use this as an actual day-to-day current account (I'm just operating the accounts as savings accounts to get the 5% interest)? Is anyone still doing so?!

Also - when my wife logged in to her accounts after me to do the same, it 'remembered' the amounts I had just transferred in the autofill - a potential security/privacy issue?

The issue is that you will have asked / allowed your browser to autofill but no real security issue as no-one else would be able to get to that stage unless you have stored passwords on shared computer etc.
