Card Declined, Cust serv phone cut off

  • servervd's Avatar
    Credit limit is over 7000, credit left to use over 4000 and transactions declined. Sending me letter to my latest address that hasn't changed for last 8 years which was for whatever reason returned back to you and sending text to my phone that card which is already blocked will be blocked. Paid my ouysanding balance in full and took you over a week to update it on your website. Calling customer service to speak to an adviser and line just go dead. In your text is "Call us anytime". Are you kidding me? Is this a joke? If it is, it's not a good one.

    I'm sorry that you are experiencing high volume of calls, messages etc. You should be first bank to extend their hours to support your customers. High volume is probably because people have nothing else to do just to worry about their expenses and money-flow. I'm glad that someone has mentioned "Tesco-Bank" I need to send message to. Credit for that. BTW your "Message" page appears broken in Mozilla ver. 68.9.0esr

    Update:No reply to private message. I'm not expecting them to reply sooner than a week since it took more than a week to update my balance.What bugs me more than ever is that with today's technology and possibility to work from home being remotely connected to workplace via VPN and all that jazz, services went down. People are trying to keep Britain on its toes (up and running) and everyone comes up with the excuse which is nowadays called Covid19. Guess what.. Covid19 won't help you if you lose customers and it certainly won't help you to get them back. Going extra mile means what it says. I still work (extra long hours) and really don't have a time to stick to someone's restricted rules. I call customer services usually at times when everyone is asleep which is after midnight or when I finish work between 2AM and 7AM to avoid long queues. My queries are straightforward pretty much all the time. Are we going backwards? Tie up more hands to more workers, so we can all get stuck in a mud. Perhaps that's new motto for today's situation and/or future. Nice to be invited and help you to help others but I really don't have time and knowledge and of course power to help others. I will add solution when I get reply from Tesco representative. Meanwhile, good luck to you all and big "Thank You" to those who took time to reply to my original message.
