Totally Useless Public Services Ombudsman
SPSO, Is the ombudsman in Scotland for public and health services, but they do not serve the public, read the reviews on other sites, not found one good one yet. Have they helped anyone?
The do not communicate in layman's terms, but legal and government jargon, they are not fair, they do not help the individual battling they system, they are the system, and seem to me to have no interest in helping the underdog, to get what is even close to fair.
What is the point of an ombudsman? they get paid to talk around in circles, not listen, understand or help, for all the help they were to me I say abolish them, and save the waste of time and money.
ALL companies should be regulated by an totally intendant ombudsman who is NOT funded by the very people they are supposed to investigate
