Hi,
I looked at the ACAS website now, and saw that you were the ones to contact for problems in the North-West.
I'm a Norwegian citizen, who lives in Liverpool, so I've understood that the North-West office, is the right office,
for me to contact then, if I'm not mistaking.
I have an employment-case, against Arvato, where I worked, in 2005 and 2006, where it was a lot of bullying,
from managers, towards me, (and also others, but me in particular, I think), and I've also un-covered, that
they were using illigal employment-methods, the team-leaders there, when they were screaming commands
across the tables there, in the Cunard Building.
(They were trained to do this screaming, which they called reinforcement, but really was punishment, I've
understood later).
I have a link to the employment-case, (which consists of a lot of documents), on this online publishing-
site:
I've tried, since 2006, to find a law-firm, to help me with this case, because I think it's unworthy, for people
to be treated, like I was treated, at Arvato, and I also lost my job there, since I was contstructivly dismissed,
I have to say, when I tried to bring the problems there up with the higher management.
But I can get any law-firms to help, since they say the case is to complex, since I also brought in the Police,
since I thought it was much bullying, that it was a crime, and one law-firm, Moorcrofts, where messing with
me, I think I have to say, so I've also brought in the Law Society, who also messed with me, I think I have
to say, and also ditto with the Legal Services Ombudsman.
So I try to get advice on how to deal with this.
I think it's to serious problems, to bring up in a Work Trial, it should be dealt with in the court, I think.
It might seem strange, that I'm asking for advice, about a case from 2006, but I have been working with
this case, continously, since then, so it still be an up and running case, so to speak.
Other than this, I'm also trying to get advice about the problems with the Financial Ombudsman.
They have put a woman there, to work, with sending e-mails etc, on 6 am, on Sunday mornings!!
I'm a bit worried that this woman is being used as a slave there, and she obviously has been working
so much, that she has lost a bit of her judgement, since she's emailing bank-complaint e-mails,
to people, while people in the UK are still on their way home from the pub.
People want their Sundays off from Bank-complaints, and things like that, so I think I was harassed
by the Financial Ombudsman, and I fear for how they treat their staff there, since I've been working
as a food shop manager, in Norway, for ten years, from 1994 to 2004, then I automatically thinks
about this perspective, how on earth are the Financial Ombudsman treating their staff, so I wanted
ACAS to have a look at that, that the people working for the Financial Ombudsman, aren't being
used as slaves etc., like it can seem a bit to me.
I hope that you can help me with these cases!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog

Hi,

they had illigal
management methods, at Bertelsmanns Scand. Microsoft-activation,
Now, people at the
Financial Ombudsman, are also being used as slaves, it seems.
Or this could be connected with a cover-up, of the Bertelsmann/Microsoft-case,

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?

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

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
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.

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.

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,
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
I'll also find the actual complaint against RBS Dale St. now, and forward it
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,
Have you also got other
complaint-forms, other than to banks, perhaps someone
sent me the wrong form
intentionally?
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.
