Re: FOS Ombudsman Final Decisions
Strangley enough the following also relates to a complaint against YORKSHIRE BANK
Several years ago a complaint I lodged with BOS (now FOS) was substantially upheld, however I rejected the recommended F & F compensation because I was unable to identify exactly what had/had not been investigated
I sent a SAR to Ombudsman and a huge bundle of data they provided in response was a real eye opener. I discovered lots of fraudulent/dishonest info they had obtained from the other party that I had never had sight of before.
Due to the nature of this info I contacted the Police, but its no surprise that they were totally disinterested and deemed it to be a civil matter, adding that if there was any criminal element involved the Ombudsman would report it to the Police
I then asked the Ombudsman how they dealt with any criminal action they identified whilst investigating, Ombudsman confirmed that it did not and it had never reported any criminal activity to the Police that it discovered during the course of its investigations.
