Bank account frozen to defend against fraud

Didn't find your answer?

My business bank accounts were frozen without notification by Barclays. When I finally managed to speak to them they said this was to defend against a fraud involving accounts that receive money from HMRC.  No details as to when they will be unfrozen and I have been hung out to dry!  Is anyone else presently encountering this?

Even if there was an update, it will not help you. Every situation is different and handled differently by each bank.
