Barclays have put my account under review

kchurch12

Hi Layla,

My account is too under review as of yesterday and have told me to wait at least 5 working days. I tried to log into my online banking yesterday and got the error message 1176.

With regards to the money in your account I too was told it would be possible to withdraw funds in branch. I am lucky to have a current account with another bank so will be withdrawing all by funds tomorrow to place in that account.

They have told me they cannot discuss why the account is under review with me, all I can do is wait!

Hope our situation is sorted soon.

Again, regardless of the outcome make sure you close the Barclays account and tell them why (see my earlier example letter).

""The only thing I can think of is this month my brother and a friend put in some extra money into my account but were talking about £1030 which is not all that much. The only thing else is that as I started a new job and received about 800 from job and 600 from another, however, the 600 was done via bank transfer again. ""

How on Earth could this possibly be construed as unusual activity...?

It's precisely what having a bank account is for.

There is nothing else I can honestly think of. I don't know why these things happen to me.

Well sad to say it may depend on what the brother and the friend have been up to and exactly the source of the money originally transferred was.
It may be that the OP's account has been flagged if somewhere back the money originated from some suspect activity. Then all the subsequent accounts part of it passed though will be investigated as to whether they are complicit in a muti-faceted money laundering scheme, whether they are being used as unwitting mules or other possibilities.

I dont even have an overdraft- let alone a laundering scheme!!!

Theoretically, you can be a part of the scheme, not "have" it. And no overdraft is needed for this.

IMO you are grossly overusing exclamation marks.
