The oversight body lacks impartiality and offers unbelievable justifications for denying fair compensation to clients. They employ various tactics to minimize the compensation provided by the train operator, such as ignoring details that could justify a higher payout (like a clause in the company's terms), claiming that issues within the train operator's responsibilities are not theirs (e.g., responding to complaints—apparently not the customer service team's role???), and outright misinformation (in my case, the fare charged by the company for my journey was claimed not to be the correct fare???). These strategies have recurred in several of my complaints. I've shared my review with the relevant regulatory office overseeing the oversight body, and I encourage others who feel as frustrated as I do to submit their feedback to prompt action against the oversight service.
