Still holding funds

Still holding funds

So they have been holding funds for over 180 days. The funds had been paid to us by a charity we have worked with for over five years. All information provided but still no payment.

Constant promises of call backs and emails but nothing ever happens.

Spoke to them on the 27th at 9am and was told they would call back with an update, no email and no phone call received.

Refund that never happened

I am writing to express my extreme frustration with your response. My bank has confirmed multiple times, including via formal letter, that they have never received the refund you claim was processed.

I have already gone back and forth with the bank nearly ten times regarding this matter. It is unacceptable that Teya continues to insist the funds were returned when the recipient institution has no record of them. As previously stated, the original card was cancelled, and the bank has confirmed no funds appeared in their system.

Please be advised that I am not letting this matter rest. I will publish this matter on all the relevant platforms. HSBC as an institution cannot lie . I still cannot help thinking that TEYA instead of protecting service users are seizing funds and manipulating customers .

Teya withheld £9,533 of my company’s…

Teya withheld £9,533 of my company’s funds despite being provided with the customer invoice, signed agreement, proof of completed works, payment evidence, and customer satisfaction confirmation.

This caused serious cash-flow issues for my company.

The issue was not resolved directly with Teya as they stated they would hold the funds for 180 days, and the matter had to be escalated to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

During the investigation, the Ombudsman repeatedly requested information from Teya and provided multiple extensions for responses. Despite this, there were continued delays in communication and progressing the case.

After almost three months, the Financial Ombudsman Service ruled in my favour. The full funds were returned and compensation was paid.

I am posting this review as a factual account of my experience.

If you experience similar issues with withheld funds or unresolved complaints, I would strongly recommend escalating the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Mohammed provided me with excellent customer service this morning. He listened to my queries and not only answered questions within his area of knowledge and experience but also went out of his way to find the answers to other questions. He was friendly, professional and honest, following up our call with an email summarising our conversation, just as he promised. Thank you so much, this was time well spent 😊
