I am extremely disappointed with my recent experience with Lloyds Bank. Due to a system error on the bank's side, £500 was incorrectly taken from my account and, at the time of writing, the money has still not been returned. I am extremely worried about my upcoming Direct Debits because this situation remains unresolved.
I have spent days trying to understand and resolve a problem that was entirely caused by the bank. I remained patient throughout the process, yet I was forced to explain the entire situation from the beginning every time I called. It was only on my sixth call that I was finally given a case reference number.
The customer service was particularly disappointing. During my last three calls, I spent around two hours on the phone after returning home from work. That evening was also my husband's birthday, and because I was trying to resolve Lloyds' mistake, we were unable to celebrate as we had planned.
The attitude of one customer service adviser was insensitive and rude. While I was trying to explain what had happened, I felt I was not being listened to. After everything I had been through, the call was ended abruptly. I find it unacceptable that I was first put through days of stress because of the bank's own error and then had the phone put down on me.
I have been a Lloyds customer since 2000, and this is the first time I have experienced such poor treatment. I simply do not expect this level of service from a bank of Lloyds' size and reputation.
Lloyds has offered me £70 as a goodwill gesture, but my main concern is not the compensation. My hope is that Lloyds learns from this incident, improves both its systems and customer service, and ensures that no other customer has to go through the same experience.
