only some people(mostly new customers) were notified by post to advise them to claim the interest, but that there were ads on the radio, website etc, and I should listened to them.
Possibly because it's a change to the terms & conditions of the account to which you originally agreed and they need you to explicitly opt in and accept the new regime even if it is to your benefit?Forgive my ignorance, I am not a PTSB customer, but why would it not be automatically available to everyone who qualified? Why should anyone have to apply to get interest on a bank account?
Any chance people who didn't get the letter which I and others got opted out of receiving any communication regarding offers or other issues relating to their account other than statements? Maybe it is a cock up on PTSB's part that they didn't notify every customer who might qualify - I don't know.If they want to make changes to the terms and conditions of any account, surely the account holder should be contacted and advised that there are changes to the conditions they originally signed up to.
Another thought - any chance that only Switch current account holders were contact...
Did you exhaust the PTSB complaints process and get a final response letter from them first because if you didn't then it's virtually certain that the FSO will simply return your complaint telling you to do that first before they will look into it.Anyway, sent off complaints form to Financial Ombudsman today, so will see the outcome.
