    This has been posted on the other forum, looks as if its all starting to go very wrong for Were bank customers.
    Re: Nationwide - going in to a branch to present cheque in person
    Unread postby 091156AB » Mon Aug 10, 2015 9:36 pm

    I express a word of caution before sending any WeRE bk cheques to Nationwide in person or by post. In my case on the very day they received my WeRe bk cheque to pay off the balance of my mortgage they filed at Cifas which warns the banks of fraudulent activity, that I had deposited a false instrument. Furthermore, it has triggered my bk of 30 yrs closing my account literally overnight.

    The banks and building societies are working closely together and acted like a financial tsumani to leave me without a bank account or any of the basics to receive my salary or pay my way in a modern society. The speed without any warning was incredible. In both letters from Nationwide they never indicated they thought my actions were fraudulent. They just kept saying they don't recognise WeRE as a bank or has any funds to pay the cheque. Ironically, they did not call Peter to test that theory.

    I really don't know what to do. next. I have to hope and pray my application for a basic bank account is successful.

    Well yes, quite. But let's say his scheme worked. What is it that the people who are being taken in think they're getting?

    The sad fact of this site is the ( NONE ) of you have any clue about so called real banking and none of you have any clue about banking law ! you are all making sweeping assumptions on subjects that you really think you understand and you simply do not !



    I can't speak for anyone else on here other than myself but having worked in banking for many years, I can say hand on heart that a cheque from 'Were Bank' is as close to real money as the toilet roll in my bathroom is.


    Banking a cheque from Were Bank achieves nothing.


    Were Bank is a con that makes money out of the misery of others.


    Thanks for the drive-by posting though and I'm sure you'll be back soon ... :D

    So true.

    It's astounding they are still allowed to operate and con people out of their money.
