Frozen Account and Useless Uncaring and Incompetent Customer Services

So my appalling and stressful experience with the Halifax continues. We are now at the stage where I can not undertake any transactions within my accounts, e.g transferring funds. I am being treated like a common criminal who is money laundering rather that a loyal customer of 30+ yrs. When I asked the Customer Services team what was I suppose to do this weekend as they have literally taken away every bit of service to me as the supposed customer, there response NOT OUR PROBLEM. Even though I am unable to transfer the account, trust me in sheer desperation I tried, I told them exactly what I actually thought of them, after four months of pure hell this was the final straw. I am living on my own, there is no one who I can turn to in order to have any cash flow to keep me going so what am I suppose to do. Is this the right behaviour, it shows that there is a total lack of empathy from the Halifax towards their customers and interestingly enough their behaviour towards me as a customer has deteriorated since I moved my mortgage to another provider.

Treat Loyal Customers Like Dirt Under The Umbrella of Security and Poor Customer Service a Speciality

Since March 2019 the Halifax Fraud team put an embargo on my card and did not inform me of this. On calling them I was told that the issue lay with Visa Debit and not the Halifax, I thought that was the end of the matter. However they placed an embargo on my current account card. So since March I have been unable to undertake any online transactions and have been continually embarrassed in stores when my card has bounced or been refused. I am trying to set up a small business and I can not make any payments to suppliers/vendors due to the way I am being treated by the Halifax and it gets worse. I have made THREE complaints to which I get a standard letter telling me how wonderful the Halifax are as a bank and that my complaint has not been upheld - NO SOLUTION. The letter is a basic template and shows no empathy towards their customers. Tonight I call their Customer Services, kept on hold and land up back with the Fraud team who then INTERROGATED me on my spending. Is this any of their business - why do I need to justify this. After over 60 minutes on the phone going around in circles, I ask how much longer and are we finished as I had an appointment to go to. I get a short and snappy response about her doing her job Well I have a life to get on with, as well as business venture and I do not have the time to be treated like dirt by my so called bank Reviewed on: 3rd July 2019
