One of the letters I was sent had only my Surname and Postcode. Another only had the Street and Town on it. No Name or Postcode!

Not had any letters about the complaint I submitted, so now wondering does someone else have my letter.0

Since from what I read on the web the entire IT transfer disaster was handled by Sabadell in Spain, should instead everyone be moaning at cr*p and useless Sabadell?
It seems that the entire migration project was run in/from Spain with the UK CEO of the TSB subsidiary being told what was going to happen and then told that everything was migrated OK before he went on the media to say so - when clearly it was not.
CEO's and "directors" boards of wholly owned subsidaries are more akin to general managers than their title suggests since in practice they do exactly as the remote head office tells them to do.
It seems blaming TSB UK Ltd for the mess rather misses the chief culprit - though I'm sure it suits the head office quite nicely to have to whole blame heaped on TSB UK rather than have its name in the gutters.0 -
I did the migration from C&G live branch systems on to Lloyds ... it went 100% smoothly.
I bet whoever did this c0ck up'd get the job over me because "they have a degree"0 -
I am surprised it is taking this long to completely fix everything especially as IBM are involved
lots of bad things are said about IBM but one thing is certain they have some excellent people in their banking sector who should have been able to get to the bottom of this in a reasonable time
the fact they haven't implies it was a lot worse than we thought0 -

The rather mealy mouthed TSB response was:
"We are aware that there has been an issue with a recent acknowledgement mailing.
We are working with our third party supplier to understand the root cause of the error and we'd like to apologise to anyone that may be impacted."
Just wondering how the use of a " third party supplier" holding sensitive personal data fits with GDPR. I'm presuming it's covered by explicit consent. However GDPR does provide that
"Consent must be informed
The data subject must understand what they have consented to
It must be clear who the data controller is and also who third parties are if they will be relying on the consent"
I don't recall TSB telling me (the data subject), about my personal data being passed to a third party. Probably covered in the small print though.
Anyone who knows more about GDPR than me (not difficult) and has a view on this?Alice Holt Forest situated some 4 miles south of Farnham forms the most northerly gateway to the South Downs National Park.0 -
Surely TSB have not made yet another error; this time with GDPR0

But trying to understand a system developed and mucked up by someone else is not easy. iBM have no knowledge of what Sabadel did or did not do. It's like trying to understand some else's accounting when you don't know anything about it.
It is easier to start afresh than pick somebody else's system apart.0 -

Well pretty well any large organsiation relies on sub-contracted 3rd party professional communication organisations to send out stuff by post or by email - whether that is banks and other financial groups, utilities large retialers like Tesco's/Sainsbury's and probably even councils and charities....and the rest.
None of these businesses actually have employed people sending out stuff - so I'd hazard a guess that its is all fully compliant with the dogs dinner that is GDPR.0
