Review of the Bank of Scotland, Cash Account:

Nasty Ignorant Brain dead staff.

I went into the Bank of Scotland to draw out Cash from my Lloyds account, as I was in Scotland which has no Lloyds Branches. I went into the Bank, people were in front of me in a cue and people came in behind me, a woman approached me and asked me what I wanted, I told her I had come into the Bank to draw out cash, she then asked me how much cash I wanted, I told her £1000.00, she said that was a large sum of cash. (RUBBISH) 50 years ago when people were paid in cash, I used to go to the Bank every week and draw out between £250.000.00 and £255.000.00 in cash to pay employees. Then she asked me what the cash was for, I then told her it was none of her BUSINESS, then she proceeded to confront me and telling me how I should pay for items, she said that shops were only taking card payments, I told her that I always pay cash and no business had refused cash, This conversation was in front of other customers, so some of them could have left the Bank and phoned a criminal and given them a description of me and when I left the Bank they could have attacked me and stolen the £1000.00 pounds I had just withdrawn from the Bank, I then proceed to the teller to get my cash, then another woman cam along and said I want to explain, I told her to shut her mouth, I did not want to hear what she had to say, I came into the Bank to withdraw cash not for a confrontation or an interrogation and told how I must pay for anything. I then got my money and left the Bank, this was all recorded on my Body Camera. I believe these two woman were LESBIAN MAN HATING BITCHES. Two weeks later I got a letter from my Lloyds Bank which said. WE ARE WRITING TO YOU FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT OF VERBAL ABUSE AT THE UNION STREET BRANCH ON THE 2ND APRIL 202O. IF THERE IS A REPEAT OF THIS OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS THEN WE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE THAN TO GIVE YOU NOTICE TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT. THIS IS IN-LINE WITH OUR UNACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER BEHAVIOUR'S POLICY. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE MADE A RECORD OF THIS INCIDENT AND THE ACTIONS WE HAVE TAKEN ON YOUR PERSONAL CUSTOMER FILE. IF YOU'RE UNHAPPY ABOUT ANY ASPECT OF OUR SERVICE, YOU CAN FOLLOW THE PROCESS OUTLINED IN THE HOW TO COMPLAIN BROCHURE WE'VE ENCLOSED IN THIS LETTER. NO BROCHURE ENCLOSED. SIGNED MANAGER NO MANE. THIS LETTER WAS NOT ON LLOYDS HEADED PAPER, NO MANAGERS NAME IT WAS ON A PLAIN PIECE OF PAPER WITH NO ADDRESS OF MY LLOYDS BANK, ONLY POST BOX NUMBERS. I CONTACTED LLOYDS BANK HEAD OFFICE ABOUT THIS AND ASKED WHAT HAD BEEN PUT ON MY PERSONAL CUSTOMER FILE, THEY ADVISED ME NOTHING WAS ON MY FILE ABOUT ANY INCIDENT, THIS LETTER WAS DONE BY THE LESBIAN MAN HATTING MANAGER AT THE BANK OF SCOTLAND MAKE OUT IT HAD CAME FROM MY LLOYDS BANK. (FRAUD) I THEN WROTE A LETTER TO MY LLOYDS BANK ASKING FOR AN EXPLANATION ABOUT THIS LETTER, AND THAT THEY HAD NOT ENCLOSED A COPY OF THE COMPLAINTS BROCHURE, I ALSO EXPLAINED THAT I HAD THIS ALLEGED VERBAL ABUSE ALL ON MY BODY CAMERA. I ALSO ASKED FOR THE MANAGERS NAME, I GOT NO REPLY, I THEN WROTE A COMPLAINTS LETTER TO THE CEO OF LLOYDS IN LONDON, RECORDED DELIVERY, AGAIN I GOT NO REPLY, I THEN WROTE TWO MORE LETTERS TO MY LLOYDS BANK RECORDED DELIVERY AND GOT NO REPLY, I HAVE CONFORMATION FROM THE POST OFFICE THAT THEY WERE DELIVERED. I WENT TO THE FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN SERVICE AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING, AS THEY ARE FUNDED BY THE CORRUPT BANKS, I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF A SUBJECT ACCESS REQUEST TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND THE DETAILS OF THE MANAGER AT THE BANK OF SCOTLAND THAT WROTE THAT FALSE FRAUDULENT LETTER TO ME. KEEP CLEAR OF LLOYDS BANK AS THEY REFUSE TO ADDRESS COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS EVER AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND KEEP CLEAR OF THE BANK OF SCOTLAND WRITING LETTERS ON PAPER STATING IT WAS FROM ANOTHER BANK AND SIGNING THAT FRAUDULENT LETTER, REMEMBER THAT CROOK CAROLINE WAYMAN THE CEO AT THE FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN SERVICE WILL NOT HELP YOU. I GOT AN APOLOGY FROM THE BANK OF SCOTLAND WITH A LOT OF LIES IN IT THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AFTER MY MONEY, BEFORE B/S WENT BANKRUPT IN 2008 WERE THEY LOOKING AFTER CUSTOMERS MONEY Reviewed on: 26th September 2020

Too many mistakes made in telephone banking

They made far too many mistakes in telephone banking and kept chopping and changing systems. As I worked away from home I was reliant on telephone banking. With 4 accounts Business, Money Markets, Current and Visa I had to call 4 different lines with disparate systems to get balances, then call them all again to make transfers. ?They cancelled my visa card when I wasrobbed "to be safe" when I knew it was locked in a safe and refused to put payments from my current account to my visa unless I gave them the 16 digit number. This led to accruing debts. They lost a payment to BT. BT weren't much use either an I was cut off. I took my statements into the branch to sort it out and they lost the statements. When I came to put in my year end accounts I was missing a month and received a heavy fine from Companies House and I had to close my business. A gobby teller laughed at my predicament and was supported by his manager. He's now an MP. One time when I telephoned they asked for my digits 2 and 5 or whatever from my security numbers. The woman had a thick scotch accent so I didn't hear I said which numbers did you want 2 and 5? She said that was wrong and I was blocked from my account. When my dad was in a hospice and my wallet was stolen they were extremely unhelpful and rude. This had serious repercussions in fulfilling my father's wishes as I couldn't even get the £10 for the death certificate. Many a night I had to spend outdoors because I was locked out of my accounts Reviewed on: 8th November 2018

Despite this being only a cash account you have full online banking facilities and a debit card. Online banking has been glitch free. Reviewed on: 8th November 2017

Approachable Organisation

I was made redundant and due to that my credit and financial health was utterly destroyed. BofS were the only bank to offer me practical help and secured me a current account when RBS took away my only one. Reviewed on: 7th November 2017
