Tesco Current Account - statement for closed account

surreysaver

Just switched one of my Tesco Current Accounts to Barclays, but Tesco have removed the facility to download a statement from my closed account on online banking. Anyone got any ideas of how to obtain a statement without having to write Tesco a letter?

I have just switched 2 Tesco accounts and I have received a paper statement in the post for both.

I shall await my environmentally unfriendly communication in the post!

When I switched, I had a message from Tesco asking whether I would like statements. I declined but they made it known that I can call in the next few years (7?) and ask for statements. I'd give them a call and ask what they can do for you.

Yes, we recently closed 6 accounts. They contacted us by phone and asked if we would like copies of statements sent to us. We both said no, as we keep records in financial software anyway.

Tesco confirmed that the information would be available to us if we changed our minds at any time in the next 6 years.

A few days later, several very large and thick envelopes were delivered by the postman. I now have a pile of A4 Tesco bank statements going back several years and nearly 10 inches thick which I have to shred

Yes, it was rediculous. My wife and I closed our accounts and they sent every monthly statement since we opened the account, I page for every month, but each page had another page of terms and conditions, each page identical

Yes, same here. They even gave me a few pages of somebody else's statements in the middle of mine.

That was 10 minutes of my time spent in front of the shredder I'll never get back.
