Can't transfer money - "Marker" on my account?

MyLastFiver

Tonight on the internet I tried to transfer some money from my Lloyds current account to my HSBC current account. Couldn't do it online (kept saying "unable to process your request") so I phoned them and they made the transfer.

An hour later I realised I needed to transfer some more. Again - couldn't do it online so I phoned up. This time they wouldn't make the transfer. Apparently there is a "marker" on my account blocking transfers out. She couldn't say why it was there or who put it there - all she kept saying was that I needed to talk to the branch. I thought it might be a fraud prevention thing as I was trying to make 2 transfers to the same account, but she said the limit for telephone transfers was £10K, and the total of both of my transfers was just under £5K, so it's not that. A case of "computer says naaaaah".

So - why the hell can't I do as I please with my own money? Can any bank employees throw any light on this?

Where are you sending it to?

Have you received any large cheques recently, or deposited large amounts of cash?

Have you changed your address or any key details on your account recently?

Have you been abroad?
