    Name change?  You failed security?  They suspect fraud? You don't have an account with Lloyds?  Could be anything.

    What account are they not finding? As they appear to have found your credit card account

    If it's a different account: when did you last use it? How much money is in it (none / some / a lot)?

    Have you had any money go in and out of the account very quickly?

    My Chase account was frozen without prior notice this week and I was eventually put through to the 'specialist team'. The problem was a surprise gift of money that had been deposited into my Chase account by a relative (lucky me!) but Chase thought it was suspicious as I immediately moved it to another bank's savings account which has a higher interest rate. It was a pain to sort out but they eventually concluded that it was all legit.

    I've just looked at your previous posts and in a short period of time you have had issues with HSBC,  Starling, HBOS and now Lloyds. 

    There must be something within the nature of the transactions you are doing that has flagged you up for monitoring and referral. The only people who will know what you have been doing to cause this is yourself and the banks in question.

    The fact that Lloyds "cannot find your account" would indicate that it has been blocked for referral with a view to closure unless you can satisfy them that your transaction history is in order.
