Yes I'm quite serious. I had the same issue with Barclays when I made a large deposit into my current account. It was sorted within 2 working days.

are you saying that barclays emptied your entire account leaving you absolutely penniless?
and you weren't atall concerned?

you must have a very equable disposition.

CLAPTON's question wasn't directed at you.

The money, according to the two CAG links above, will be returned in 4 days or so...just before your complaint's 5 day acknowledgement letter.

You should keep a record of any out of pocket expenses you incur due to this, and submit a claim for reimbursement once you've had the money returned.

Just out of interest, have there been any large credits made recently?...perhaps from overseas?

the last two credits that went into my account were two cheques from a member of my family from there halifax bank , one was for £3000 and one for £4000 one cleared last monday and the othe cleared thursday thats when they took my money, the cheques were deposited into my account to pay off some credit cards which i have been unable to do now thats why im so angry .

They did empty my account, yes. It was immediately after making a large deposit, and I believe it was due to the money laundering rules. I was more fortunate than OP as I had other money elsewhere, so I wasn't out of pocket. Yes I was concerned at the time, but as I say, it was credited back in a couple of days.

The have also stolen £193.66 as well as the £7,000 which is the very worst part.

I would keep ringing the phone bank service until at least your own original money is returned.
