Frustrating Experience with Redemption at Platform

I had a highly disappointing experience with Platform during the redemption of my mortgage. After making a complete payment via CHAPS on January 30, 2024, to close out my mortgage, the lack of communication from Platform was astounding. Despite my proactive steps, including promptly mailing the necessary redemption documents, there was no acknowledgment of the payment, and shockingly, they continued to collect the monthly interest via direct debit. What followed was a series of frustrating attempts to resolve the issue. I reached out to customer service multiple times, only to be met with long wait times and disconnections, amounting to nearly three hours of wasted effort without any resolution. My complaint, formally lodged on February 15, 2024, has been dragging without progress, leading to further direct debits which I had to indemnify through the Direct Debit Guarantee due to their inaction. It's been over eight weeks since my initial complaint, and despite the time elapsed, Platform has neither rectified the error nor offered any form of compensation for the inconvenience and financial strain caused. Their handling of this matter reflects poorly on their customer service and account management systems. To anyone considering Platform for their mortgage needs, I would advise caution. The lack of effective communication and resolution capabilities significantly marred what should have been a straightforward process. I am now compelled to escalate this to the Financial Ombudsman Service to seek a resolution, a step I hoped would be unnecessary Reviewed on: 17th April 2024
