  • Sorry to hear this, please see this thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1275467

    I have had the same issue, but Abbey released £12k in a day on 5 transactions........Same problem with them sorting it out though, I am still waiting, My account is blocked by abbey and they will only let me get £200 a week!!!.... the strange thing is they still let money into the account.
  • Just an update on this, i've written a complaint to Abbey now as I found out by phoning recently, they refused this claim. No phone calls or letters from them what so ever.

    Is there anything further I need to do? The ombusman stated that their is no real time limit on them dealing with these cases.

    I too am sorry to hear of you experience.

    I'd report it to the POLICE and here's why:

    Reporting Fraud is Just About to change - via the new National Fraud Reporting Centre. Or is it?

    IMHO this is the most sensible approach for members fo the public:

    "“If you are a victim of a crime, you report it to the police. If you don't, it doesn’t exist, it doesn’t get tackled, and we don’t get the resources in the future to fight it,” said DS McMurdie.
