Hi,
 
 I think I have the right to know this, when your representatives send me e-mails at  seven o'clock, on a Sunday morning. I think you should send your business e-mails within the business-hours, and I'm
 
 conserned about how you treat your staff, and I've contacted Acas about this. 
 If you do not expect your staff to work 12-14 hours a week, seven days a week, then why are the working on a Sunday morning at six o'clock. 
 People are going to think that your representatives are some kind of slaves, if
 they have to work at the time of the week, when the other people in England,  are on their way back from the pub. 
 
 If people get e-mails at this hour, they are going to start writing answers while they are still drunk. 
 This sounds insane to me, to have people working, at six o'clock, on a Sunday 
 morning, answering e-mails that they could have answered on a Monday. You have to pay them overtime, for work they just as well could have done on
 a week-day. Your institution is extreamly poorly managed, and you are wasting the tax-
 
 payers money, with all the unessesary over-time. 
 I think there is a law in this country saying that Government should have openness, so I think you should explain what the reason for your very strange and akward 
 working-hours are. 
 Sincerely, Erik Ribsskog

Dear Mr Ribsskog   Thank you for your email.   You will excuse me for not going into the finer details of
our staffing working hours and holiday allowance.  I will however,
 reassure you we certainly do not expect or allow our staff to work 12 to
 14 hours a day 7 days a week.

Hi,
 
 Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm, is alright, I think. But you also let your staff work Sunday mornings, at 6 am.
 
 It seems to me that you overload your representatives with work, and that
they have to
 work 12 to 14 hours 7 days a week. 
 I thought slavery was forbidden in our time. 
 Why do you let your representatives work every Sunday morning, when other
people in
 England are on their way home from the pub? 
 Do your staff get summer-holiday at all? Sincerely,
 Erik Ribsskog

Dear Mr
Ribsskog
   We always
try to provide the best service we can to our customers, and sometimes that
 means offering our staff the option of working overtime during very busy
 periods.
   Please be
assured that they have to work within strict time guidelines, and these are
 always checked by Operations Managers to ensure they are not working too many
 hours.
   The
service our department offers is outside of the usual office hours of
 9am till 5pm because we have found that a lot of our customers have
 difficulties contacting us whilst they are at work themselves during the 9am
 to 5pm times,  so we have opening hours of 8am - 6pm, as do many firms
 these days.
   I hope
this explains.

Ok,

 But, why is that you let your representatives work over-time every Sunday
then?
 Shouldn't you as a main rule conduct your business, within the
 business hours?

Dear Mr

   Rosemary
Cox has passed your complaint to me to take over as you have requested that
 she no longer deals with your case.
   I can
confirmed that a letter has been sent to the firm, and we have asked that
 they issue you with a final response letter within 14 days.  We have
 also asked them to copy us in on that response.
   If you
remain unhappy with the firms response, or you have not received a response
 from them within 14 days, please let me know and I will arrange for your
 complaint to be moved forward for investigation by an
 Adjudicator.

 Hi,
 
 I don't think it's any use with me repeating myself. 
 I don't think you should handle my complaint. The reason is, that if you are to overworked, you get to
 tired.
 
 And in dealing with complaints like these, one obviously needs ones
judgement, to be like
 it should be. If one are out of balance, like I think you could be, then I don't
 think this is good for how the
 complaint is being dealt with. So please do as I ask Mrs .Cox, and tell your manager what I said,
 that I want someone else
 to deal with my complaint, due to that I think that you must be
overworked.
 Haven't you seen how fine the weather is today, you should have a
 day off in the fine weather,
 I think. Sincerely,
 Erik Ribsskog

Hi,
 
 of course you can work on Sundays if you want. But business e-mails should just be sent within the
 business-hours.
 Or else, what's going to happen, is obvious.
 Someone are going to come drunk home from town, and answer the
 business-e-mails when they are drunk, which is what has happened today,
 with our correspondence.
 If this is something, you didn't know from before, then I think
 this Financial Ombudsman-stuff is just a load of crap really.
 
 Try to use the head that God gave you when you were born! Sincerely,

Dear
Mr Ribsskog
   Thank you for your e-mail   I must admit to being surprised and
confused with the content of the
 e-mail.
   We are an extremely busy department and we often work at the
weekends, this is obviously of help to consumers as we are
 able to deal with their complaints in a more timely manner.  I
 would suggest that It is entirely up to each individual
 business to determine which hours their staff will work and I do not
 intend debating this with you.
   By working this weekend I have been able to deal with your
complaint, which as you can appreciate is of a benefit to
 you.
   Perhaps you can clarify the spelling mistakes you are referring
to?

Hi again,
 
 don't you think it's strange for an institutions like yours to send
e-mails on Sunday mornings then?
 Shouldn't e-mails be sent within normal business hours then you
 think?
 
 This is what it says on Wikipedia: 
 
 
 I
think this is rather akward, as I also think your spelling-mistakes
 are.

 Complaint against RBS/Fwd: Earlier e-mail
 
  
 
 
Hi,
 
 thank you for you e-mail, that I recieved today. I'll contact your collegue back, regarding the
 Barclays-complaint.
 
 I sent the complaint on RBS Dale St., to Yvonne Williams at
RBS, but she
 also harassed me, like this, she writes 'Dear Ms Ribsskog',
even if my name
 is Erik, and in Britain, you have a movie called 'Erik the
Viking', and Eric is
 also a quite usual name, in English-speaking countries. So I think Yvonne Williams, the complaint-investigator,
 also bullied me.
 
 I think this must have been a deliberate mistake. 
 This ended with the complaint being partly resolved, in the
way that RBS,
 gave me the bonus of £100, for moving my account to them,
from Barclays,
 (who I also had problems with, that I'll exlain about to your
collegue, like I
 mentioned earlier). I'll also find the actual complaint against RBS Dale St.
 now, and forward it
 to you. What I meant with the complaint-form, was that it didn't
 look anything at all
 like the ones you've sent me now. Maybe the complaint-form I was sent, was to do with other
 financial institutions,
 than banks? Like share-fonds etc?
 
 Have you also got other complaint-forms, other than to banks,
perhaps someone
 sent me the wrong form intentionally? 
 Just a thought I had. But anyway, thank you very much for your e-mail, and I'll
 also find the actual
 RBS Dale St. complaint, and e-mail it to you now. Yours sincerely,
 
 Erik Ribsskog
