    If a customer is seen to be submitting multiple complaints can a bank or credit company terminate the service?

    The bank would see closing the account as a 'double win'.

    First, the customer is probably loss making (because of the cost of dealing with all their complaints).

    Second, the customer would probably move to a competitor, and make a loss for them instead.


    (U.S. online banks in particular seem to have a clear strategy of encouraging 'time consuming' customers - i.e. those that constantly contact them and/or complain a lot - to move to their competitors.)
  • nothing worse than a serial complainer

    It’s not far from fraud imo
