    Tell me what you think: the OP has posted elsewhere ( refer profile), from the other thread he she has started is your assessment the same? The respondents there seem to be better disposed to him her than here.

    Please does anyone have any advice.

    On Monday I went to the hole-in-the wall and it swollowed my card, I called into my bank and they said my account had been frozen as a payment that had been made into my account via chaps was being investigated. Now I got a loan for £300 from a ooan company and missed the repayment date, the bank said that the loan company said the £300 loan was paid to the wrong person and the bank froze my account.

    I have all my benefits paid into this account, my Income Support, Child Benefit and Child Tax credit, I spoke to the Bank Manager and he took I.D from me got me to sign a form and said the fraud department will be investigating and that i can have NO access to any funds until a decision has been made which may in the bank managers own words could take weeks or months. What can I do, i have no access to my benefits, nothing to live on, and no money to support my 2 kids aged 2 and 3.

    Please any advice anyone

    thanks in advance.


    Sorry but I had no idea if there was a correct place to post this, I am just desperate for any help

    I note on another thread you are asking about housing benefit advice and according to you, you live with a partner. I would have thought he or she could have helped out financially until your situation is clearer.

    IMHO I really cant help thinking your brain has been frozen and you live in a make believe world.
