Get your original post off to the big bosses marked in bold Complaint to the following by email, do it tonight:

 

[email protected]

 

Lloyde Banking Group

 

Mr George Culmer - Finance Director - [email protected]

Mr Paul Gittins - Company Secretary - [email protected]

Ms Alison Brittain - Head of Retail Banking - [email protected]

Sir Winfried Bischoff - Chairman - [email protected]

 

I suggest you send it to each email address separately and not address all on the one email. They will probably look at it else and say to themselves - 'let the next man deal with it'.

 

Make a complete list of every penny you are out of pocket by so that you can claim that from the banks with the statutory 8% interest added as a minimum.

 

Is there any reason at all you can think of why this has happened, or what might be the cause.
