    Please provide me with an address to which I can send a registered letter giving Tesco's 14 days to resolve my complaint about the lack of response to a charge back on a credit card, before I take it to the Financial Ombudsman. Thank youEmma Brown

    Hi Emma,
    Private messages provides an extremely helpful way of liaising with Customer Service, to check if there’s been any updates made to your account.
    Now that you have made an official complaint, you must wait 8 weeks before taking your complaint to the ombudsman.
    Please keep the faith, stick in there, and you’ll get it sorted one way or another. I’m sure that Tesco-Bank have no wish to inconvenience nor delay your claim a moment longer than necessary.
    Best regards, Chris, .

The address is: Tesco Bank Credit Card Operations, PO Box 27028, Broadway One, Glasgow, G2 9FT In the meantime why not try using the private message scheme on The Community to contact the team to see if they are able to assist?

    Morning Emma
    I'm sorry to hear you've not received an adequate response to your chargeback.
    I would suggest before you go down the official route to send Tesco Bank a private message from here.
    To do this click on this link and it will take you to a page, 'About Tesco Bank'.

    Towards the top right of the page in the blue panel click onto 'Send a Message'.

    A new page will open up, 'Create New Message'.

    Complete it and send your message securely and privately.

    Please include your full name, date of birth and postcode along with details of your cargeback.

    You will get a reply to your private message giving you details of the progress of your claim.


    Have a lovely weekend, Caz

    I have been sending DM's since June... all you can do is Escalate it to the Disputes team. This is worth nothing... in all the "escalations" you have done over the last 3 months I have had two communications from Tesco's Disputes team. The first call I missed, they left a message saying they would call back and they didn't, most recent one I received a text asking me to call which I did. The lady I spoke to said they had no record of receiving any one of the emails - and I must have sent at least 6-8 since May - and yes they have been sent to the correct email address. She said it may be because I have sent 3 attachments in one email and so she asked me to send one email per attachment. Working in IT I find this answer fairly ridculous ,but hey I am trying to work with you so I did as ask. Lady said she would call me back at lunchtime to confirm whether or not received, and guess what? Yep I have heard nothing....... so I have raised a official complaint, it may take 8 weeks to resolve, but being official, I can now go to the financial ombudsman, which I will be doing within 14 days, as is my right... happy to DM you "again", but please tell me what you can doo which you havent already done?

    We will try to resolve it within 4 working days, however, if that's not possible we will send you an acknowledgement text within t 3-5 working days. We aim to resolve complaints within 15 days, however, we have up to 8 weeks to resolve this fully. I have shared a link below with some more information regarding our complaints procedure and timescales - https://www.tescobank.com/help/complaints/. You are unable to go take a complaint to the ombudsman until the 8 weeks have passed I'm afraid. All I can do, is check if there has been any updates recently on your account regarding this. I'm really sorry about this, I apreciate you have already been very patient with us.

    Hi Emma I see Amanda from Tesco Bank has sent you a message asking you to contact them to assist you.Additionally she's also offered to raise a complaint for you if you wish.I feel the best way forward initially is to accept Amanda's offer of assistance and send a specific and detailed private message with what you want to achieve and within reasonable time scales. Should you then not be hapoy you can escalate to a complaint.Hopefuly this is helpful.Warm wishes, Caz

    complaint already raised, complain number issued... I have been waiting 20 weeks so far since original email sent...... 20 weeks.....! Would Tesco wait 20 weeks for something from me? I think not. Please tell me what sending a DM will achieve? Do you actually have any power to "do" anything, other than escalate to the disputes team? Emma
