Deposits a £125k cheque and doesn’t look at the receipt. Ok. I’d also be querying the husband bank as to how they can close an account with 125k in it.
I had something vaguely similar happen to me. Deposited a £10K banker’s draft and Lloyds’ entered it as £1K. I realised a couple of hours later when I checked the receipt and went straight back to the branch to be told ‘You’ll have to wait ten days for it to go through clearing.’ No amount of ‘But the cheque is sitting right there in front of you, just amend the transaction!’ would get them to sort it out. No apology, no attempt to makes things right. Closed my account with them the day the money turned up in my account.
What a badly written story. How about asking why there was a loss at all? Presumably if she didn’t get the money, it is sitting where it was? What’s the significance of her husband dying, is the money simply tied up in probate?
Doesn’t sound like the money vanished. Also the ombudsman thinks everything is fine? How about asking some questions? Or does that just make it a non story?
The cheque looked very ambiguous and easily mistaken for just £125. Barclays then takes £125 from the partner’s account and deposits it as normal. The rest of the money would have stayes in the partner’s account, which was with another bank and I understand that this account has been closed.
Barclays owes this woman nothing. A human made a simple, but large mistake, resulting in only part of the requested money to go through. Barclays does not have the women’s partner’s money. They simply did not receive it. If this woman had been more responsible and checked the receipt, there wouldn’t be a problem now.
The BBC article covering this topic leaves me wondering if someone at the BBC has a problem with Barclays. It certainly doesn’t look like the BBC is impartial like they claim to be.
Many questions with this story, first one being that a cheque was used. The partner could have used online banking or called the bank.
I find it hard to believe that she didn’t check the deposit slip at the time. It all sounds a bit sus.
Surely the money hasn’t just disappeared?
If it was entered as £250 instead of £125,000 there’s £124,875 sitting in the account the cheque was paid from surely? Can’t they just write another cheque?
