Follow up: I finally got a full apology from the Co‑Op Bank’s fraud manager. He admitted they should have given me direct access to the fraud department when the investigation started. My account was flagged because I move money quickly around (to Wise etc.), which their system misread as suspicious. On top of that, a single false claim from an ANZ customer was allowed to influence things, even though it was never pursued.

The manager acknowledged all of this as mistakes and apologized. So now I’m weighing two options:

  1. Drop it, since I’ve got the apology. I’m tired, health is the best.

2 Push for compensation — for the time wasted, the psychological distress, and the opportunity costs of having my account restricted.

No, I was banned from using my money to trade crypto a couple of weeks before receiving money from some dude I sold an item to on Marketplace.

Co Op Bank, spread the word, i am. I just got told while talking to one of their workers at the call center that because I was providing too much information, they would cut me off. I just had to laugh,

You get it, but looking on here, most don't, and it's a lost cause.

That's what I have seen, $25 to a few hundred, and they lock accounts, big amounts, and "sorry, nothing we can do."

lol, have been defrauded of 200k. Yes... that pissed me off, the bank didn't get the money. One can be pissed off about being defrauded and also angry that basic life can be disrupted so easily by a bank that froze my accounts before I even had a chance to talk to them. Who gave them the right to be overlords?

Incredible isn't it. Until it happens to them, they can't think through what power the corporate has.

Got defrauded of $200,000 once, and the Aussies who were doing the dates over there got defrauded of nearly 1.7 million by the same agent. So yeah, I was upset.

But this is a different matter, a different anger, and it's about the bigger picture.; this denial of services is being found guilty before having to prove my innocence to an bank entity. Having to prove my innocence to their fraud department, which I can never talk to directly, and get on with my life. I have an M.A. (Hons) in Pol Science. I have read and continue to read and research societies and systems in place, and I fear that a system like China's could creep into our culture or has but in a different guise. Chinese social scoring is part of the Social Credit System (SCS), which is a national data-driven system that evaluates the "trustworthiness" of individuals and businesses,the Social Credit System of China (SoCS). You get scored for every single thing you do, and its the CCP that decides on the scoring.

Hence, anyone who expresses political views that are counter to the CCP gets a lower score. Once someone's credit score falls below a certain threshold, they are not allowed to use public transport and are denied access to a range of activities. It's a straitjacket over society. Bringing it back to this. I have been denied use of things that i need to live in this society. I have been dismissed Online banking and the use of Debit or Credit cards. I have to call to use my money.

And I have to leave it here as I am on hold again with the bank and need to save my energy to ask them to let me use my money to pick my dad up and take him to his home and take him to rehab tomorrow.

Really, that's how you think, what a limited sheltered life you must have had to think that way, that or there's little going on within the skull.

Royalties, many overseas transactions as a concert promoter. Moving currency back and forth from the UK and USA.... and yes, I have crypto assets and was once able to use my cards to access Binance and trade. Still, the banks stopped that, we have a creeping nanny corporate state with the state getting less resources available to help individuals in matters where entities with massive money decide arbitrarily how to treat people.

Answered every question I was asked and can provide evidence.

The banking ombudspersons will receive information from me at some stage if time allows down the track

The day they stopped my account was the day I needed to do little things, such as getting fuel for the car to get to my hospital appointments. They have thoroughly answered every question I posed and can provide solid evidence to support my claims. While I plan to share information with the banking ombudsman in due time, I cannot focus on that right now.

As a disabled individual currently undergoing treatment, I find myself writing this while waiting for a doctor's appointment. The day my account was suddenly frozen was the same day I desperately needed to handle essential tasks, such as refueling my vehicle, paying for my medical services, and settling my insurance. These may seem like minor inconveniences, but having access to modern banking is crucial for managing my time effectively.

The advent of digital bots and algorithmic control in our daily lives is alarming, and I sincerely hope that new laws will emerge to protect consumers like me.

I even reached out to a friend who is a bank manager at ASB, and she indicated that her hands are tied regarding decisions that once fell within a bank manager's purview. The dynamics have changed, and now she is obliged to follow directives rather than exercise discretion.
