i've been with them for 6 years. they have left me without a debit card for 2 weeks. absolutely ridiculous. i've been calling all week, which i dont have time for and get nowhere. customer service, appalling. i just cant stand what little spare time i have being on the phone. i was cut off 4 times when put on hold. they have my number and 4 operators didn't call me back. they say they leave messages on your account which you can only get if you call and someone who you spoke to, looks for them. they have my email and phone number, would it not be sensible to leave a message there. as the customer how do you know they have left a message on their system.

i've worked on customer service for 11 years, thats not customer service.


sorry bit of a rant. never ask an angry woman, why, ever, lol :))

I am with them as well and find them generally really good. Why don't you call them when you aren't at work and tell them how upset you are. They can deliver a cash card to the most convenient HSBC branch near to where you work/will be. I have had them do that for me. They always ring me on my mobile and leave messages there.

Sorry Mazza - how frustrating. I've never had that sort of experience with First Direct. I have however, recently had a similar experience to yours with O2 (don't get me started) so I totally understand your rant.


One of my favourite websites is the Martin Lewis www.moneysavingexpert.com website. The forums are most informative. Why not spend some time on it before deciding which bank to switch to.

Sorry to hear you've had a difficult time with First Direct - I've always found their service to be very good and I've been with them for 14 years.


I am not sure where I would go if I was unhappy with them - but I know I wouldn't touch Nat West or Lloyds after their shoddy service before I was with First Direct.


Maybe try Smile?

i have asked them to send the card to a branch. so its going to lordship lane. unfortunately rather than call me and ask where i wanted the card sent when i was cut off they put a note on the system. so i would need to call again and hope that the message would be read. yeah great service, if you psychic

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
