Barclays bank & CIFAS Cat 6

[Jon124]

Need help urgently.

Last year someone approached me saying they'd lost their bank card

and asked if they could put some money into my account and I withdraw it for them.

They let me keep a small amount.

 

 

£160 was transfered.

I thought nothing of it and thought to be helping somebody in trouble but I found out this money was illegal.

 

 

Recently, a year after this incident,

I found out a CIFAS cat 6 has been placed against my name by barclays bank.

I want to know how I can correct this as I was only 17 at the time and don't want it to ruin my life!

 

Thank you

You must contact Barclays immediately

to find out what type of fraud or money

laundering is involved, the problem is

as you willingly entered into this transaction

for profit however small will be trying to

prove you are not complicit in the ''fraud''.

You say that the ''money'' was illegal?

In what way?

[Jon124]

Well the money was fraudulent, I haven't been told anything else apart from that. The only proof I have is my previous and curent history along with my age. I didn't know it was fraud in anyway and not sure how I could prove it or what to do.

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

OK, get on to Barclays in writing and

find out if any actual crimes have been

reported to the police on this and if so

where and when and get the crime

reference No.

[Jon124]

Nothing has gone to the police, I went to them and they informed me it is a bank only matter so I have to sort it with barclays. If I don't sort it out I won't ever get a bank account which is quite shocking :/

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

YOU MUST take this to

Director level with Barclays,

I suggest writing to the COMPLIANCE

DIRECTOR at the Banks head office.

Have you any thing at all to

prove that you were not complicit

in this??

[Jon124]

I've had a final response letter though, will this effect anything? Also what would the address be for this?

 

I can't think of anything that would act as proof. Would offering to pay the money in question back help? Also is there ever a possibility of the warning being removed after an amount of time?

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Please post up the Final response letter

after removing personal details it will be

easier to advise after seeing it.

[Jon124]

Okay but I'll have to wait ecause barclays are re sending it to me

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

Fine this may need to go to the

Ombudsman service for a ruling

as you are getting the FR letter.

[Jon124]

Double post, sorry

[Jon124]

Thanks

 

I was wondering though. A cifas Marker is removed when fraudulent activity stops. Obviously in my case it has but is it possible for it the ever be removed without me complaining?

[BRIGADIER2JCS]

It's also as much a notice to

you that fraudulent activity

has been noted on your

account, and a warning

to potential credit providers

of the occurrence

As to the time span ask

Barclays on that I think they

have the right to make the decision

on that.
