Financial Ombudsman Service - Have your Say

[Never-In-Doubt]

Re: Financial Ombudsman Service - SuperComplaint

Get the ICO in agreement FIRST so ask the adjudicator for a 30 day hold pending ICO clarity of incorrect default.

Do not send it to an ombudsman yet. Pointless.

I'm doing the same with a complaint. If mine works I'll send you my complaint to look at

Any update Scrappy?

How in gods name (Not that I'm religous) is this organisation supposed to be independent and unbiased?

Have you seen the list of Ombudsman proudly displayed on FOS website?

Greed, money and power. The corrupt establishment always looks after itself so well!

There's no way that lot can be impartial and unbiased!

Re: Financial Ombudsman Service - SuperComplaint

Over the years I have had as much aggro off FOS as the rotten banks and DCAs. I have also taken a fair few quid off them in comp for the many errors they have made. Many folk fail to spot the errors these bankers' pets bleat out at unsuspecting consumers who need real assistance - but they are there and they are numerous... ;-)

I agree Batman.
They have as well got worse over recent years, I did have a few with them in earlier years just before I knew much about reclaiming etc and back then I found it was more straight forward, the big one I had with them was about Nemo Finance , quite a big case in 2007, won that one with further compo and overall not as bad as they are now, this is the first time I have had a bad time with them and in my view I did NOT at all find they were impartial, then researching on the decision makers background 9 times out of 10 they did belong to banking industries, and this is the first time I have put in my own complaint about the service, but still the "ombudsman's manager" agree with the Ombudsman.
However, what I must say was that it was here and there, recommended to be not upheld then to be upheld then not to be upheld again, but finally with the help from our Niddy we succeeded with a partial win, better than nothing but no success in making that complaint to the service manager, being ill too they are fully aware of that and have been from the start of the case.

Di yes - in effect the consumer is frequently at total war with the FOS and they are without doubt clandestinely set in place to uphold the alleged dignity (lol) of the UK banking system.

Of course, many of us who have been treated like sewer rats by this appalling and self-righteous outfit know the truth but until others feel its biased wrath, on a personal basis, they will continue to think it is somehow impartial or even on their side. They used to say the same in the 1930s about a certain little German guy's political position...

My own wins for comp against FOS have been when I have proven belong all reasonable doubt that they have been caught wanting. Most folks however will not file every page away like some of us do and so will have to tolerate their pro-banker stance!

All a mega mind screw against the trusting consumer and one that MUST be exposed in the end!!!
