  @Nora11447402 @bmstewart2004 I hope it ends up a quick and painless experience. My bank was NatWest btw. Very good service from them and they understood my issue straight away. They even backdated it to my cancellation date when the first unauthorized debit resulted in my receiving the product.

  @NatWest_Help 35 years as a NatWest personal and business customer and zero understanding of my business or the support you’d expect from your bank. Utterly aghast…..

  𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝟭𝟭𝟱 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻? I know a certain commentator on the case (who claims insider knowledge) asserts there’s been no decision as of 2 weeks ago. But I very much doubt an initial decision is still pending - I believe it’s been issued to parties. There’s no reason why we would hear if it had. Initial decisions have never been published or leaked prior to the Final Award before. Why do I think it’s been issued? Because it’s been more than 19 months since the hearing concluded. A delay as long as 19 months for an initial decision on liability would put the integrity of the decision at risk and would raise questions over the arbitrators’ intentions (did they delay on purpose to damage it). I just can’t see them having done that. For context, NatWest Markets plc v Bilta (UK) Ltd [2021] was ordered a retrial when its decision was still waiting after 19 months at the High Court. The Master of Rolls at the Court of Appeal absolutely blasted the delay. He said decisions like these should need a good reason to take over 3 months in the courts and if they do, they get closely monitored. For it to take this long in private arbitration when there’s a requirement in the rules for a decision as soon as practicable… and the arbitrators have been working on other cases… totally inexcusable if it weren’t already out. Career enders for the arbitrators. A hearing on sanctions and final award should be quick too. So no excuses. Only 3 possibilities I see: 1) Initial decision was already issued to parties and a Final Award is coming imminently. Before the season starts. 2) They have the Final Award already but they’re waiting for the end of the World Cup before publishing it (they shouldn’t do this and it could even open themselves up to damages if this were the case) 3) City launched an appeal after the decision on liability was issued but before the hearing on sanctions, thereby delaying a Final Award Number 3) would be novel (i.e., never done before) but the rules do not explicitly prohibit it. I’ve hypothesised it as a possibility for a while. If so, we might not hear anything until 2027. The longer it goes without a Final Award, the more likely I believe that’s what’s happened.

  @grok Ofcourse not! Why would they leave an Internet trail. Bank of England funds Natwest, HSBC, Barclays etc. An overnight shut down of all their accounts for unproven allegations.... no link, yeah okay! 👍

  @NatWest_Help And now, 1.5 months later, he STILL can't access her bank account!!! NatWest staff entered his phone number incorrectly. So he can't receive a code to log on. He's asked them several times to change it. They say they'll change it. They haven't mayo do that very hard task 😡😡😡😡

  UK stocks to watch — Fri 31 July Month-end, and a strong handover: FTSE futures +0.4% after Asia’s violent rebound — KOSPI up as much as 17%, Samsung and SK Hynix near +30%. NatWest — H1 results, the third big domestic bank in four days, and the pattern hasn’t been kind: Barclays was the FTSE’s biggest faller on its own results day Tuesday. NatWest arrives off a Q1 that delivered 18.2% return on tangible equity and £1.4bn attributable profit. What moves the stock won’t be the profit line — it’ll be margin guidance into a BoE that just showed three hawks. Taylor Wimpey — the most interesting setup on the board. Sell-side positioning is unusually hostile: Goldman cut it to a sell in May, and the broker split now runs 1 buy, 2 hold, 3 sell. It reports into a rate market that spent yesterday removing hike risk — September odds fell to 40% from above 50%. Low expectations plus a friendlier discount rate is how surprises happen. Watch the order book and margin guidance, not completions. ITV — H1 results. UK advertising is the cleanest read on domestic corporate confidence there is. Tech trusts — Scottish Mortgage, Polar Capital Tech. Microsoft and Amazon proving AI demand produced a 17% KOSPI day. The UK vehicles are the second-order beneficiary, and they’ve been sold hard for a fortnight. $EZJ — last session before Castlelake’s firm-offer deadline on Monday. Apollo’s follows on Friday. Whatever happens now happens fast. Oil majors — Exxon and Chevron report today, after Shell’s $9.8bn came largely from trading and refining rather than production. If the US majors show the same composition, that’s a sector-wide signal: the money in this crisis is in moving barrels, not owning them. The month that was: the FTSE 100 touched a record high this week. The KOSPI is down ~25% in July, its worst month since 1997. Same AI story, opposite ends — because London owns almost none of it. The index everyone calls old-fashioned just won a month by not owning the thing everyone wanted. Worth remembering next time that’s framed as a weakness.

  Elon Musk, shall I tell you what else those NatWest employees—who scammed me out of 300 pounds—did? They kept blocking my contactless payments; and they send me a message asking me to reply "yes" if I try to make the payment or "no" if I didn't. I reply "yes," confirming I try to make the payment, and they send a follow-up message saying I could use my card—yet my card remained blocked. I called NatWest customer service and explained the situation to the representative: I replied "yes" to the message and was told I could use my card again, but I still couldn't use it because it was blocked. The representative was surprised, said they didn't know why this had happened, and reactivated my card. Elon Musk, they kept blocking my contactless payments—and let me put this in a way you'd understand: they didn't do it for security reasons. In fact, I hadn't made a single payment with that card yet; I tried to make a contactless payment somewhere but couldn't because they had blocked it. The shop assistant even told me, "They probably blocked it because you made too many contactless payments today"—even though I hadn't used the card anywhere before that.
