TSB are total rubbish !! I am still refusing to attempt to login to online banking until they sort out the garbage and confirm everything is fixed and working.
I feed really sorry for the staff taking phone calls from customers. It must be an awful situation for them hearing people complaining.
The good thing is that they have still to respond with a final response to my complaints. If the offer is not sufficient, I will be going to the FOS.0 -
I think this is a new low for them. Maybe the end?0

I honestly don't know how TSB will ever recover from their never-ending disasters.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0

TSB are in such a mess that I'm starting to take the view that 5% interest isn't enough to retain my custom. But switching at the current time would actually be a bigger risk.0

I'm surprised there hasn't been a Northern Rock style run at TSB yet...0

For 13 months after you've switched, your new provider will arrange for payments accidentally made to your old account, or taken from your old account, to be automatically redirected to your new account. It will also contact the sender and give it your new account details.

If they are customers who have already gone it isn't going to affect TSB much (you can't switch your account away twice) and for people thinking of switching away it might serve as a warning that staying put for the time being is the best approach.
So not really a big deal - except for the people who've been sent letters telling them they are dead."In the future, everyone will be rich for 15 minutes"0 -

It's a matter of someone accidentally using reason code 2 instead of 3.
"The end" seems a bit over the top don't you think?0 -
