When Banks don't Act on FOS Findings

Was the decision from a FOS Adjudicator or an Ombudsman? Businesses can appeal an Adjudicator's decision and ask that an Ombudsman looks at it (I worked for a business that would always appeal if we didn't believe the Adjudicators decision was correct). Only an Ombudsman's decision is binding on the business.0

I have got a response of sorts from TSB through the Ombudsman.
TSB were unable to change my address on the phone and there is a problem with their site for some accounts on this feature. The ombudsman has sent me out a change of address form which I sent in on September 6th - TSB claim they have not received it.
TSB have said that even though they have not issued me with a debit card I should be able to access my money online which in their view is adequate. I have outlined some issues when trying to transfer money from their account to my now primary account, they have dismissed these issues.
With reference to the unpaid compensation. TSB has made no response to the Ombudsman on this.
Overall it's bizarre.0 -

In this case (there was a previous thread) TSB accepted the decision.0 -
It speaks to complete chaos at TSB. I should consider myself fortunate they paid my compensation swiftly and without issue some time ago.
It is chaotic. In my case, TSB paid the compensation recommended by the adjudicator, but have so far failed to actually address the issue I complained about in the first place.
The letter from the adjudicator told them that they had to fix it, so i'm now wondering how long I wait before I complain again.£40k-in-’23#18 £78,628.29/40,000 (196.57%)0 -

Kind of. The original email response from the FOS said that unless TSB disagrees, they should make payment within "about three weeks". I received a letter fairly shortly afterwards saying that TSB did not disagree with the recommendation, and they then made the payment after another week or so - so within the three weeks. However, they've not done anything yet to address the complaint, which is still unaddressed.
I'll give them a bit longer, but if there's nothing soon then it's back round the loop.
As always, there's absolutely no communication from TSB of any sort to give any idea what they might do...£40k-in-’23#18 £78,628.29/40,000 (196.57%)0 -
I'm not sure what happens next, it's with the Ombudsman, with TSB being elusive as they are I doubt if there will be additional compensation for this latest episode.0

I've only heard about one other occurrence where this has happened (financial institute not playing ball to the ombudsman decision). The Bank name, HSBC. They had stopped communicating with the customer after the ombudsman decision.0
