1 thousand pounds and despite there being no restriction they’re saying it’s been sent to the department to investigate… which a complete joke

Nah 1 of the account has money missing

Day 15 update. Emailed the CEOs a couple of times. then contact them via app chat said to them there wasn’t anything could do and all they were doing was covering their backs. after a 15 minute call where I said I understand what they have to do but don’t understand the reason they can’t give me any rough time scales.. 30 minutes later my account open again and majority of my money is back. However 1 of the accounts doesn’t seem to have had the money back. Spoke to them and they said the same as before that they can’t discuss anything. odd thing is that account was showing -500,000.07. Now is zero but hasn’t had the money put back in… absolutely shocked at the service and I’m not comfortable with moving money around! feel free to ask any questions? Not happy with what they have made me do… but surely they should give you timescales instead of keeping you completely in the dark..

Just an update - no news

I guess that’s really important. From what I’ve been reading is the bank refers it to the NCA who have 7-10 days to ask for an extension. Might be wrong

Thank you HB. I’m just hoping day 7 brings my account back alive

So no progress yet however I have contacted the fraud team who said they will email the investigating team regarding the transaction I believe is the suspicious one. I’m the meantime I have had an email back from someone who responds on behalf of the the execs. They’ve said they’re looking into it

I have emailed both the Financial Times and the CEO of Barclays. Lets see whether we get somewhere... Probably not going to do anything but its worth a shot!

Do you think if the believe a fraudulent transaction has been made? Do they send requests off for further information from them? I.e who the accounts belong too or do they make these decision internally? The transaction which I believe could have caused suspicious came in directly from my personal PayPal account then instantly left for my virgin credit card. Exactly the same amount… within a minute.. in hindsight probably not the most wise decision I’ve made!

We’ll I’m hoping to keep you guys updated

No thankfully I have access to another account. So I’m not completely crippled but am extremely stressed and uneasy…. Have also got credit cards which I use mainly.. my main concern is how it would have been flagged? AI or someone?

Rung them and requested to put a complaint In but was told that it wasn't possible...

Hi guys I’ve read a few topics regarding people having money taken from their account. Decided to create a new topic to discuss my situation I am a shareholder of a business who bank with Barclays. Today they received an email saying the account was to be closed which I’m not to fussed about. however my personal bank accounts yesterday went into -500,000.07 with all the money I had go to to reconcile Glasgow advance. rung them and was told they can’t tell me much. what I was wondering is… prior to the closure I had a 1000 payment come in from PayPal and then instantly I paid that to my credit card? Could this be the reason they’ve stopped it or would they close my bank account because they’re are deciding to close the business account and because I’m linked? if they are closing it when would I expect to hear something? Would it be worth calling the fraud department?thank you in advance currently across all my account I’m overdrawn by 3 million so definitely very stressful!
