@Hestia1970 @TSB Robin Bulloch:
I have been a loyal customer of TSB for many years but am so appalled at the bank's recent poor service that I have decided to close my accounts and have reported my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

[TimAshbyBooks @BooksAshby]

TSB is an example of the chaos and utter incompetence of the UK banking sector. After four weeks my funds seem to have vanished into a black hole. Customers beware of TSB! What should have been a simple transfer became a nightmare!

Still silence from TSB after its promises to resolve hold on my funds. Filed complaint with Financial Ombudson Service. Next step, filing a Group Litigation Order (“GLO”) a lawsuit to include thousands of other unhappy TSB customers. (I´m an experienced US Class Action attorney).

[TimAshbyBooks @BooksAshby]

After one month, TSB has STILL not released the requested funds from my bank account. Today, I formally complained to The Financial Ombudsman Service. I will file a legal action if this travesty continues. No wonder the UK banking sector is so reviled!

TSB worst bank I have ever dealt with! Week 3 & they´re unable to transfer my funds to another UK account. I´m in the USA & TSB sent a letter with some sort of code to my US address by ordinary UK post! I´m complaining to FCA. No wonder UK banks in such chaos!
@TSB
@LloydsBank

[TimAshbyBooks @BooksAshby]

TSB is the most inefficient bank in the UK! My funds transfer is caught in limbo due to "systems upgrade". If transaction not completed by end of this week I will report TSB to the FCA & consider legal action (I´m a senior counse with major law firm).

On this date in 1813 anti-slavery campaigner Granville Sharp died. In 1768 he won a case for a slave in London & set up a colony of free slaves in Sierra Leone; many of the settlers later worked in the slave trade. https://t.co/wM6f569Eq9

TSB bank in the UK us beyond useless! I can no longer access my accounts from overseas as the bank is unable to send codes by text to my US mobile - and their customer service is hopeless!

On this date in 1873 the last permanent slave market in east Africa closed, after the UK government forced Sultan Barghash to end slavery in Zanzibar (Tanzania). In 2013 a heritage centre to the abolition of slavery was created, where once 70,000 slaves a year were traded.
