    He believed that the FCA were about to make some high profile arrests and my father was integral to bringing them down.

    You are not prohibited from communicating with the bank in Abu Dhabi. You never know what the result of writing to them might be, or maybe they have some representation in the UK.
  • I'm inclined to agree with you, only both the transactions on the first day were made with a Lloyds debit card. If they had been made with a credit card, the credit card company would probably have put a block at least on the second transaction given the two transactions were made in the space of an hour at most.
