When Banks don't Act on FOS Findings

That's good news on the interest but once again annoying to be pressured by the adjudicator to accept a 'final' proposal that's then overruled (in your favour) by her manager.

I would definitely be tempted to wait until the money actually arrives and then compose a lengthy complaint about the adjudicator's handling of the case, not with a view to getting any more compensation out of it but simply to highlight the many failings with how she's dealt with this, so that appropriate actions (disciplinary, retraining, procedure tweaks, etc, as applicable) can be taken by the management....

I would want to push this off to an Ombudsman, not entirely sure why they are not doing this.

I wonder if perhaps she is in a special TSB-only related department that has been drafted in to help deal with the influx of cases against the bank?

The only time I had a case with the FOS the adjudicator offered an ombudsman relatively quickly into the proceedings when he realised the bank were not playing ball, on threat of getting an ombudsman involved (which I understand triggers another charge for them) they then decided to action my requests almost immediately and it all got closed off rather quickly.

I'm in disbelief that this adjudicator you have has point blank refused to escalate the matter over 4/5 times now.

Just editing to add that in my case it really did feel the adjudicator was at the very least initially impartial and when the bank in question started giving him the run around he very quickly started to empathise with me more and more about my case and offered ways to solve it. In yours it seems the exact opposite, which is quite concerning!
