Just discovered my pocket money account has been emptied and closed by some scammer. Phoned fraud line. The thieving fucker who closed my account and took my money is.. Barclays Bank. The people I pay £8.50 a month to make sure I'm looked after. They can't explain why they emptied the account or why they've charged me £300 admin for this... so ring this number tomorrow. The advisor sounded like he'd heard it a lot. I'd heard they are capable of above and beyond on the cunty front but this is a surprise! I feel your pain, I got rinsed by Barclays many years ago. After getting nowhere with them I went to see a solicitor, his advice was to forget about it as you'll never win in court against a bank 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been the victim of fraud a couple of times, both times I found out because my bank called me within minutes telling me they solved the issue, refunded the expense and called me to say not to worry. This might not be of much help to you, but even so it serves to say it's not always bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t really feel like it was my money anyway cos my Dad gave it to me so I thought I should look after it, hence paying £8.50 for their care. I’m not with your solicitor on this one, no he won’t make a profit but cos it’s personal, the banking ombudsman will be called in early. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was straight forward fraud I’d stand more chance of a recoup than against a bank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see how you could remain customer with a bank that does that. I am sorry though, makes use feel fragile to think our money isn't safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, that was about 36 years ago, I was (fairly) young and naive. I'd just met Ersilia and she kindly loaned me £250 so I could buy a cheap car to get around as Barclays had emptied my account. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be a hard one to research seeing as anyone over 40 is so busy being tough they don't know they're mental When I was younger there was 3 big mental hospitals/asylums round here , all gone now so where do the nutters go now ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckster Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Ordered a new sleep mat today, I was going to get one from Kilos Gear where my chair came from but the one they do is 5cm shorter than I wanted, I was recommended to one on Amazon that goes for only £35 so I thought for that I will take a punt, in the end it had a discount on it so got it for £28. The one I really like is £250 and I will not be surprised if I end up with one of those in the long term but let’s see what this budget option is like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
