Tue Aug 30deadline to accept (not the decision date)
The Ombudsman does not print a decision date. The date above is the deadline the consumer was given to accept or reject the decision, which is set about a month after it was issued. It is reliable to the year, not to the month.
What this decision was about
Charges and fees, Service failure
In the Ombudsman’s words
Elderbridge should have warned Mr B in January that changing the date would incur extra interestCharges and fees
I also think Elderbridge should have changed the payment date on its system and found a way to stop Mr B getting automated letters about the cancelled direct debit at an early stage.Service failure
