“THIS IS A ZERO STAR REVIEW:
I've been with the Halifax since 1984 and over the last few years they've treated me like a piece of garbage.
I cannot log into my account online due to the 'third as I call it password' that is needed. Halifax's automated phone calls my cell phone but every time it calls it goes into my voicemail and the phone does not ring so therefore I cannot put their four digit code in.
have complained to a lady called Jayne Wilson and basically this bank has just tossed me aside and are completely and utterly unwilling to help.
Therefore I cannot login. I disgusting way to run a banking institution
A complaint has been filed with the Ombudsman.”
“At a time when i needed all the support i could get the Halifax have let me down appallingly.My Mother died and i had to set up an executors account.I had obtained probate and everything was straight forward;or so i thought.I had to return to branch twice and spent 4 hours altogether processing all information with them.They had every document available including my passport,the will,probate,death certificate-everything.They issue a cheque book but no card,which is fine but causes issues when trying to sort problems with their automated service.I have now been issuing cheques and have received 2 letters from the Halifax asking for more information!!!Can't tell me over the phone;have to go into branch.Which i did but sadly to no avail.No one seems to know what information it is they want??I will be closing the account at my earliest convenience and would strongly advise anyone in a similar situation NOT to use the Halifax.”
“Halifax have to be the WORST bank EVER! I've been banking with them since 2007 and have always used my bank account to pay bills etc... Earlier on this year somebody committed fraud using my name with Barclays Bank. I only found out because there was a CIFAS marker on my record. Halifax shut down my bank accounts and treated me like I was a criminal everytime I rang them to try and get access to my money. Barclays bank who I've never even banked with sorted out the CIFAS marker and did a thorough investigation and found that my name was used to commit fraud without my knowledge. Barclays even paid me compensation. Halifax caused me sleepless nights, a lot of stress and treated me like absolute rubbish! I would NEVER recommend that anybody bank with them! I've tried to complain, but they just ignore me. Halifax bank are absolutely disgusting! DON'T bank with them!”
“please don't waste your time with ombudsmen... as this is a layer of scam to side with the big and powerful.
I shall submit court papers, for more than 4 years of agony and unlawful treatment that i have been subjected by those that i qualify Zero hour.. modern slaves... used by Halifax to their profit to detriment of destroying clients health. Indeed i have been with them since 1997, and banked over millions of pounds.. and this has become like a abusive marriage.. whereby they used the power of office, to treat me less than nothing.
I went to them bank and throw up.... and told them exactly what i think of them.. exactly as did their prince to his royal family... ultimately they caused me that much pain and hatred that i need to lash out... The young person calling herself manager... the job titles that are thrown at these youngsters... with no qualifications.. experience or customer services...incapable even to keep a line of coherent communication.. how could she do this.. since.. she is just a shiny face.. without any abilities to be ab le to fully view my account.. to figure out how long i have been with the bank.. and treat me subsequently... it is not as if had opened an account with them, last week. I have hours of recorded calls... and the whole incident which involved the Police officers was recorded... This time round.. i have had it.. a court papers will be filed in.. and i intend to bring all the dirts.. and years of upset that their inexperience youngster... that them as well are used by a truly undemocratic one sided profitable system created to themselves.. As long as they can make money out of each of us...but the day you need help... the day these stream of modern slaves.. don't like the tone of your voice.. and decide to make your life hell... then i shall provide all my recorded calls..to see, how i have been pushed to the degree of insanity to call them names... and trash them.. the way that the prince did with his family... Then again... don't be surprised when the used the power of office... to cause you that much pain.. with the hideous phone system...they gradually emptied my account..
I am just submitting court papers.. as i need to showcase all my recorded calls.. and the appalling way i have been treated by this appealing bank.
IT SAYS HOW DID YOU COMMUNICATE WITH THIS BANK????
as if there is any other ways to communicate with these people.”
“Terrible customer service. I had to telephone a couple of times recently, first call I queued for 90 minutes, second one for 70 minutes. Life is too short to waste half of it solving problems caused by Halifax.”
“Halifax slough .what a shambles external cash machine not working.so all quing inside cash desk closed .People standing around waiting. So on Monday morning I moved all my money to the nationwide good ridins to the Halifax”
“They changed contract 3 years in to a 5 year fixed term. No nofication and no agreement or signature from us. They decided to reduce the amount paid in a FIXED TERM mortage 3 years in to 5 year deal to ensure that they get their theiving hands on more interest. Dispicable and disgusting behaviour.”
“Mum put in £46 only £44 went in then they made £9 disappeared three days later £7 disappeared tryed to get the app got through it at the end ask me five memorable thing no question and answer one line no spaces got one work could not do the next my advice fk off try another bank even though Halifax is big and -- not say on this review but🥰”
“What a joke, The Bank of England rate is 5.25%, and my mortgage rate has gone up from 2.16% to 8.74% (GBP 650 increase). Day robbers ##. This is what happens when you have a bunch of super-rich conservative governments, all the ordinary people get F.”
“No one seems to know what they are doing, I have registered power of attorney and got all details for online banking but after telephoning over several hours waiting for an answer , downloading app and going into branch I am still no further on.
I have now been told I have to register for telephone banking before I can access online banking what’s going on”
