Had to transfer parent's funds into my account as BREXIT has meant UK citizens living abroad have had accounts shut with no notice. Put a large amount of funds into a student account, start paying mortgages and obviously note student-type expenses. Have two transfer of 15,000+ pounds into account from unlisted Chinese accounts, no problem. Go to transfer 5000 pounds back to my parents (the accounts have the same surnames and are both British) and everything is blocked. Been on hold for around nine hours over the last ten days speaking to unhelpful call-center worker after call center-worker. I am sick of having to give out my financial information an personal information to random people in call centers who judge you and make assumptions about you. I had one man ask me if I had another account I could use - when I replied that no, I haven't got a spare fifty grand sitting around in another account to use I was met with incredulity. Long story short, I have been lied to, strung along and poked fun at. I have a mortgage to pay, rent to pay, a downpayment for a flat, flights so I can get home to book and a family to look after. I have no way of paying any of this without this account. I also need to transfer more large sums out of this account and am scared to now because what if it gets blocked again and no one can tell me how long to unblock it? Why is there no emergency phone number? Absolutely ridiculous. I'll be putting my money under my floorboards once I can get off hold to shut this damned account. Bank literally anywhere else.
