Barclays account blocked under review 7 days

Thread moved to the General Legal forum.

 

There are plenty of threads to read in our Barclays forum where people have had to sit it out for 7 days or so and then had the account reopened.

You may never know, from what we've seen here. If moneylaundering is suspected, the banks tell you virtually nothing.

 

Often it seems to be set off by transactions that set off alarm bells created by the bank. As I said, if you take some time to read other threads in our Barclays forum, you'll see how this normally goes.

So did they indicate what might happen next?

As I said before, sadly you may never know what sparked this off. If money laundering is suspected I think there are limits on what Barclays can tell you. I imagine they will return your money.

 

Do you have another account you can use while you're waiting?

Have a read of this thread, it might give you some pointers. There's a very good explanation of accounts being frozen by comebackjummy.
