I will talk about failings by institutions like @Natwest not issuing him any investigation. He’s a vulnerable adult there must be a duty of care or support

This very problem with NatWest some years back. They we’re chasing hard on our overdrawn business account. But NatWest was a customer of ours, so I sent the manager a letter attaching the overdue balances owed by them, politely suggesting that if they could see their way to paying us, we could have a decent balance in the bank. This did not go down well. No more NarWest custom.

@br1t1shpatr10t I don't know how anybody still bank's with NatWest. They closed my account down in 2020 and the man on the phone say "you're spending and sending too much money" insisted I needed a business account to move my own personal money.

@MikeTappTweets @DementiaUK Zero influence on the banks. Barclays, NatWest etc plan for hubs when they decide to close local branches. They proactively contact local MPs and inform them what will be done. MPs have no say in the decision. "Working hard--" is disingenuous claptrap!

@DarrenSG_7 Profile visitor data is private on X, so I can't access it. From public interactions, you've engaged with verified brand accounts like NatWest and Footy Accumulators, but no famous individuals appear. If you mean someone specific, clarify!

My reply 'Rachel. I need to use the car charger! How do i get home?! It has now been 3 1/2 hours. Get a few bits and set off down the motorway with the bag?! You will not tell me what 'policy' , effectively my card is still blocked due to your 'policy', u deny me access to my own money. Esoecially disgusting is that one of the people i spoke to at natwest when asked if i was an old lady or someone in a wheelchair was told that natwest would do nothing for them either. That is appalling. And the promised call back from a manager Hasnt happened of course.'

@AndrewDowson @peggy_stu @JimRoyleJnr Natwest: I once forgot to date an employees pay cheque. They paid, then took back the money causing a mortgage payment to bounce. They charged me a large fee. I said I would canvass business friends to guage other banks. No, please don't do that Mr Hayes. Problem solved.

· 1dPrem Sikka @premnsikka.bsky.social NatWest to give further £1.5bn to shareholders weeks after UK govt sold the final part of its stake in the bailed-out bank. Govt bailed it out for £45bn. After rescue, sold shares at £10.5bn loss. Now bonanza for shareholders. City always wins. People get cuts higher taxes, benefit/service cuts.

@bea_johanssen @ForeverScept Problem is as having experienced it with NatWest you don’t know and have no right of appeal or proving anything - and I was sending money to my son .. and there’s worse stories than that
