Moved area updated address at branch with paperwork, my current home is apparently that of the actual branch now, I sleep in the vault I guess? Money trapped in my account, blocks on incoming/outgoing payments and debit card without notice or reason, turned out to be a mistake. Complaint handler compensated, and informed me that account restrictions removed to be able to transfer money and accept incoming payments again. No this had not been completed, as I attempted to transfer out afterwards. Mental health disabilities affected majorly, resulting in major impacts. Gender assumption issues by call staff, regards use of incorrect pronouns even though my name is clearly female?

I have unfortunately been victim of a scam so I have been asking for a charge back few times but Lloyds bank did not help me at all, on the website they write '' we are here to help'' all lies! I have been client for over 6 years and I expect help from my bank in situations like this! My credit card company accepted the charge back and refunded the money, so why the Lloyds bank did not do the same?? Very disappointed, I will be closing my account shortly and transfer my funds to another bank!

Diabolical treatment of a vulnerable customer they lost me over £40,000 through fraud and scams because they were incompetent and didn’t do their checks they are inconsistent with their procedures. They don’t communicate properly no one knows what they’re doing and now they’re refusing to let me close my account which is absolutely incredulous avoid like the plague. They need to work on the customer care and staff training.

Worst experience for something simple, unable to confirm some account data, with multiple calls and different (assured) answers: all different, all wrong. Until I managed to find a bank statement that proved their systems is wrong. Not sure if I’ll stay a costumer for long. Costumer service was not the brightest.

I was on the phone for 73 minutes, spoke to two advisors, both of whom in turn spoke to other colleagues in endeavour to sort out a minor problem. Both of the female advisors were polite. My problem was that I was unable to move money from my account to another account of mine in a different bank. It appeared there was a 'marker' on my account with out any reason in my notes. My serious concern is that when I was passed onto another department I joined the telephone queue again and had to wait to be connected and had to go through security and my story again. There is no joined up system. Secondly why can the problem not be sorted internally without me hanging on for almost an hour and a quarter with a call back when the problem is sorted. A final point for all UK banks. If you are experiencing a ' higher than normal' number of calls whenever I call, it is normal! So take action.

I rang a customer service advisor today named Abbey. She was very patient with me in a delicate situation and dealt with things very professionally and sympathetically. I hope she gets the recognition she deserves!

Fraud dept exposed me to potentially having my account stolen themselves. I tried to transfer from my own account into another account in my name. It was held by their fraud dept and had to phone a number. I spoke to 2 people on phone each time going through their security questions, but they could not release the payment. Over an hour later I was told to go into a branch to get it released. At a branch I spoke to 2 further people who had to phone their dept themselves and was passed the phone onto me to go through their security again. While on phone I was passed to another person and went through the same security again. They still could not get the payment released. Since the payment did not go through, I was told to put the payment through again. All this time I was in an open planned branch being asked personal and sensitive questions where anyone coming and going can hear, more than once. I always used online banking at home and never on a device that leaves my house. In branch they wanted me to log onto my other account on mobile to prove that the other account was mine. Which means registering a portable device for my other account so if I lose my mobile it would be easier for someone else to access my bank account. Obvious no one knows what they’re doing since I was kept being passed from one person to another. I didn’t get to do what I set out to achieve and I’m out of pocket having to pay for parking for several hours.

Contacted Lloyds Bank at 1730 hours and finished nearly two hours later after having to complain, be passed to four separate personal banking staff and a credit card call centre after automatic monthly payment for printer ink was stopped when automatic banking system failed to update all my monthly payments when Lloyds issued a new replacement debit card . Staff tried to block complaint repeatedly by interrupting and saying it was a matter between myself and a retailer. I have been a customer since 1989. No respect. Very few pleases, thank yous or promises to expedite resolving Lloyds problems. Finished call saying it would take 40 days to investigate and they might not bother to reply, if they thought it was not necessary.

I have found that I can log onto my account in the mobile app if connected to Wi-Fi but not when using mobile data The lady that answered the phone when I rang to ask about this told me first that it only worked over Wi-Fi Then said it was my device as it will work over mobile data. I’m left not knowing which is the right answer. Most important to me is the fact she interrupted as I tried to explain, became impatient to the point of rudeness. I’m still waiting for my debit card to arrive but after this experience I’m already checking out the switching service

The worst bank in UK. From the time I opened account till today this bank has been the poorest customer service in UK. Weather in branch in Chelsea in London where I opened the account till today dealing with customer service on phone this is worst bank in UK!. I have closed my account with Lloyds today because they wasted so much of my precious time and energy for little things which other banks deal with effectively. Other banks in Uk have great customer service on phone or in branch. I have only ever been to Chelsea branch in London and it’s the poorest customer service for 15 years! On phone terrible misinformed idiots work for Lloyds who make life difficult and contradict each other.

I was doing my internet banking this early hours of the morning, as this stupid bank is not automatically transferring my money over to my other accounts and paying the bills being a bank holiday. So I decided to rearrange everything so I can get this out of the way. Trying to transfer money over to an account where the interest comes out every month being on zero, I tried to correct this and as I tried to pay it, I get a message popup saying my payments have been placed on hold and to ring the fraud department at 2:30am in the flipping morning!!! I called it and I have over an hour to wait to speak to someone. I am extremely angry at this system they have in place, for the fact that while doing this, I was not even setting up any new bankers orders but only adjusting things. Everything is saved onto my online banking! WHY THE HELL AM I ASKED AT THIS OF THE EARLY HOURS DO I HAVE TO PHONE TO CONTINUE TO DO WHAT I WANT TO MY OWN ACCOUNT!!! I MEAN TRIED TO MAKE A PAYMENT TO MY LLOYDS CREDIT CARD, LLOYDS CREDIT CARD FFS AND THEY STOPPED THAT PAYMENT!! THIS IS DISGUSTING AND UNPROFESSIONAL! I Can't do anything now until the morning which is gonna waste my day as I have to work on bank holiday and I will losing money wasting my time phoning this bank up >:( I've never complained about Lloyds and I've always recommended others to them and now. No more, you have now got angry customer who will not be recommending anyone to you.

"Lloyds have closed their branch in Faversham, so I would have to travel nine miles to their nearest branch and incur parking charges or public transport costs so to do. Faversham is a market town without any high street bank branches, it has a catchment area of 38,000 and growing fast with over 5,000 new homes planned. How would I want to deal with an organisation that turns its back on our lovely market town? As for their insurance, they have no business being in that service industry, for them just another opportunity to prey on and profit from their client list. Lloyds Bank was one of the finest in the land, no more, sad to say."

Absolutely bad bank. I have been waiting for my bank card for two weeks, which still hasn't arrived. They said because of strike,but post office had strike for two days only, which shows in bank failing to send it out. I can't even pay my phone bill without card, which means no connection with family on Christmas.

Your Bank-has blocked my a/c. I have just been released from hospital and diagnosed with pneumonia and told to stay in house. To unblock my account I have to go to a local branch with photo ID. Each time I have phoned to query this I have been verbally insulted and usually they have “hung up” not giving an acceptable answer to my queriesI. It is my a/c I have answered personal questions and could be talking to anybody as I have not been given a name!

Total absence of customer service at a local level. The LLoyds centralised telephone service is about as user unfriendly as you can imagine. If you want to talk to your local branch over the phone - forget it. The idiot I spoke to would not set up a local branch appointment for me without talking to the account holder - my mother. I explained to him that my mother was dead ! Still he would not make an appointment for me and told me to visit the branch. I live 60 miles from the branch. Still he would not give me a phone number. See other reviews below of Lloyds with similar experiences. Lloyds management is clearly far too arrogant and blind to correct a woefully useless system.
