Lloyds and my wife the money launderer.

RBS are as bad a few years ago I came into some money, I was expecting it for some time so in the mean time my folks took a loan out for me to buy a car, When I got the money I wanted to transfer all the money I owed plus the rest I owed on the car to my parents roughly around £25,000 I went into my local branch of RBS and asked them to do this for me (I didn't have internet banking)

They shouted my balance for everyone to hear, then asked me a million questions why I was giving my parents this money and wanted proof. I told them there and then that I wanted all of my money in cash now some £68,000 obviously they didn't have that sort of cash in the bank so I told them to transfer the balance to my parents account and I will bank with someone else.

I've never banked with them since and soon after that my parents moved banks too.

OP I currently bank with lloyds but had a few problems with them so I'm on the look out too for a new bank be glad you've got rid of them if this is how they treat loyal customers.

Yes, you must have misread. They closed all of her accounts. We didn't have any say in the matter.

Yes I did, I misread one word and I have already posted a response, perhaps you should read replies before then repeating what someone else has?

It's still the same reasoning. Payments going IN or OUT abroad, in increasing amounts at different times of the year WOULD cause problems.

Lloyds asked them to come in and have a chat, they then apologised and unlocked everything. If Lloyds had closed their accounts, not told them then refused to give them their accounts back after, then yes, I would be venting like the OP, but they didn't. They were being cautious.

As I was taught - better to be safe than sorry!

You don't work for Lloyds do you?

Your lack of intelligence and undertanding of the posts you read would make you ideal staff material.

Vacheron, your in-laws obviously have the ability to do online banking so how about both them and your spouse setting-up accounts with Paypal, Schrill or nochex ?. That way the money only hits the Bank once it is withdrawn by the account holder.
Banks are used to people sending/receiving payments from Paypal etc., so are less likely to get in a strop.

I wondered the same. Perhaps a spammer necro'd this thread (spam post now gone) and techspec responded without realising the dates?

Don't mess with the forum police!!

The viewers can see the fact that these are old dated threads, so why kick off about old threads being renewed ?

Well here is a thought, it may just save people posting advice for an OP thats long gone and a problem thats probably long solved eh?

Not everyone reads dates and if you think that is 'kicking off' you have some exceptionally strange ideas of what 'kicking off' actually is.

Whoops, really meant to say do not mess with the Internet PCSOs

I guess as this threads O.P. I should interject with some facts.

The likely reason this thread has been resurrected is because I posted a link to here in response to someone else who had a similar situation with a Lloyds owned company closing their accounts in a different post.

I assume some people followed the link, read this thread and decided to contribute, and to them I say thank you for posting your suggestions and I am glad the issue still evokes ideas and discussion.

The OP is not "long gone", there were no spammers involved and I'm sure others readers may still find the thread relevant regardless of the fact that it is a virtually historic 6 months old! (Though having seen threads resurrected from 2003 I don't really think that is too bad.)
