Lloyds TSB is a UK banking brand, not to be confused with former parent Lloyds TSB Group plc, which has been renamed Lloyds Banking Group.

Controversies involving Lloyds TSB
Mistreatment of customers
The methods used by a high-profile Lloyds TSB service (The Collections Dept., based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, UK), whose sole purpose appears to be harassment of the bank's own customers, has been strongly criticised by consumer groups and others [3], as have manoeuvres allegedly designed to take advantage of legal loopholes to avoid repaying charges levied against its clients. [4] Lloyds has also been accused of religious discrimination in connection with its overdraft charges [5]
Senior Management Team
There has been personal controversy surrounding the chairman of Lloyds TSB, Sir Victor Blank, following the involvement of lawyers in a dispute with a senior Oxford academic [6], as well as other concerns about the Chief Executive Officer of the bank, Eric Daniels [7]
Employee relations
The Lloyds Banking Group, which encompasses Lloyds TSB, has been repeatedly criticised for its failure to protect jobs, despite an unprecedented bail-out contribution of £17 billion by the UK taxpayer [8].
Mis-selling of 'precipice' bonds
In 2003, Lloyds TSB was fined £100,000,000 for its part in mis-selling high risk investment bonds. [9].
