Natwest closed account and put marker on name with no fault of account holder

12 Posts

My friend, a single mum of two was notified by NWest bank that her account is beeing freezed. She begged them to explain why they closed the account. The brief reply was that someone from India tried to deposit large deposit on her account.
She tried to open a different account with variety of banks. The answer from all is negative as she has black marker next to her name.
The school where she works cannot pay the salary in cash. She has no means to live
She already contacted Fin Ombudsmen but that can drag on.
What can she do to open a bank account?

What can she do to clear her name of the fraud she did not commit?
I doubt any of those banks aren't checking CIFAS nowadays.
Monzo doesnt accept salaries so it is useless for her.
I'm not sure "my mate has lost access to her bank account so I'm looking after her money" is an acceptable excuse.
