Absolute mess of communication,
Quite clear to see they are in disarray and are just sending out any information to mislead people into a false sense of hope.
Let’s see what this week brings !!! Sure more delays more copy and paste answers more WE ARE WORKING ON IT rubbish !!!
WE STAND WITH YOU !!! no you don’t !!!
I can’t see them raising at the boe they would need a full banking licence which i think unlikely, no doubt would be nice if Boe put legislation in place to make it happen tho as a one off to support the bbl scheme.
Bottom line is trying to sort a deal with a private lender @ hundreds of millions takes time 2+ months imo.
Just the way it is, sadly no amount of posting from us online is going to speed that up.
Just gotta keep the faith
Because they don’t know ? might be later this week, or in 2 weeks or maybe longer… perhaps they thought they were close recently ? Perhaps a lender dropped out ? Perhaps it won’t happen ?
I’m not defending tides confusing lists etc but I can fully see why they can’t put a fixed date on it & why it could take a lot longer than they even envisage.
I dig your frustrations, we’re all in the same boat… end of the day, do all we can, sign up to all banks, try every angle, sign petitions, lobby to mp’s … and if we still end up going down at least we can’t be disappointed with ourselves for not trying our hardest.
Ah Cam. You just reminded me about the lists. On Thursday they said the app tracker would be very soon. It’s now the close of play Monday and nothing. I’m sure you will agree with me that is not what should be called very soon.
Unfortunately Tide are my last angle.
But I agree with you that there is nothing we can do. Especially on here when a single moderator has not been online in the last 3 hours.
I agree, It’s not - but just as with the loans, I’m sure they would prefer to have it all sorted.
They’re not intentionally leading people on to screw them over, they have over promised & under delivered but not intentionally.
My bank haven’t even bothered to try so in my book tide are a cut above that even if so far it’s not gone quite to plan.
They will come through, but let’s face it we need to raise funds, somehow elsewhere to tie us over till then.
I also think people who haven’t received furlough or grants or self employment support WILL get something soon, need to keep putting pressure on the toffs in office.
