How did you get 10k cash into the country ? I think there are maximum limits to the amount of cash you can bring into the UK.That is why they have dogs to sniff out cash at airports.

Declaring your goods
When entering the UK from a non-EU country, you must make a declaration to customs if:

you exceed your allowances, which includes up to one litre of spirits, 200 cigarettes and a maximum of £390 worth of perfume and souvenirs
the goods are for commercial use
you have 10,000 euros or more (or equivalent) in cash
you think you may have banned or restricted goods

£10,000 is still more than 10,000 euros, even at todays *iss poor rates, but not much more. Do you think the bank will contact customs to check if it has been declared?

Yes İ think they will ask if the money was declared. and also ask if i have entered into U.K. border. ( İ haveint declared the cash at the customs) But as my thinking they will give me a temporary Detention and a fine.

Why did you not declare the cash to UK Customs?

Because İ did not have a clue that this would be a problem and Did not know any information about a declaration for money. ( but i Knew about alcohol and cigarettes declaration)

This is smelling more and more like a load of twaddle the more it does on.

A mighty fine yarn for a summer's evening.

For what it's worth - not that I'm supporting Darako's case (can't comment), but I do sympathise with him being in a similar situation with my own blocked/closed account (see separate thread) and having been treated with similar deference (or lack thereof) around here.

I came here to point out that, just like on my thread, people are too quick to pass judgement (from making jokes to assuming there just has to be something dodgy). That may well be the case but what about innocent until proven guilty? Is that not a value around here? (and I mean not just MSE forums - but the country as well!)

The OP came here for advice, and most of you keep bit-ching about his keyboard. For what it's worth in other countries cash is still king, and bringing 10-30-50k in cash is not de facto fraud but rather the norm. In my own home country withdrawing cash from a term deposit can be free, while sending a SWIFT payment is charged hundreds (the price of a plane ticket) -- surely going the cash way feels like a no brainer. Don't assume that just because something is different it's also a crime. It's enough that banks are treating their customers like criminals. People are coming here to seek empathy not finger pointing and sarcasm.

In short please be more gentle, if you had 10k blocked you wouldn't worry so much about your keyboard. How about being excellent to each other instead?
