Starling Bank Closing account with money in

Starling Bank .

This bank froze my account on 28th March around 6 weeks ago .

They asked about transactions into my account off solicitors and I gave them all the documentation needed .

They said they would review .

On the the 12th April they closed my account with £7,540 in account .

They said someone would contact me in 72 hours that was 3 weeks ago yesterday .

This has left us in serious duress and our bills are mounting up because of this issue . There is still no time frame on me receiving my monies and this is stopping us from providing for our children now . This is fraud at the highest level and FCA have been informed about this rogue bank . Please stay away at all costs from this bank.

Desired outcome: I want my monies back . It’s that simple

Starling Bank Account

Aubin Gomis
31/03/2020

To start let me mention that I have got £8000 into my account now, I have been a starling customer since they started, I have always had money in and out "£30k to £40" a year no problem at all but since last week after putting £5k into my account as usual, starling decided to restrict my account asking me to send my passport witch I did the same day but surprisingly they want to see an ID as well witch I don't have, after a long dispute everything still same it's been a week now I can't pay my landlord and my bills i can't transfer money to my family… this is the worst experience especially with the COVID19 I have never been more disappointed and disgusted and depressed then today.
Tried to explain the situation but all get is cold inhuman unprofessional answers.
Not sure what's them plan on doing that but let me tell you I don't wish this to happen to no one because it hurts
As I mentioned especially with all what's going on even if the T&C really said that I need a backup ID just use your human sense, my history since I've been banking with you, your moral, logic…
that's why I call this situation inhuman behaviour towards your customer, I even asked if I could switch to other bank because I need to use my money asap.
Could someone guid me how to deal with these people please

Thanks A G

Starling Bank starling restricted my account

Starling restricted my account when my husband pay came. My husband has been self employed for 3 years and never had a issue. He wanted my account to have a good positive balance and made a mistake in using Starling. Even after giving proof of his invoice they keep giving generic response and have left me and my husband without a single penny. I understand the need for fraud and security but this is ridiculous after giving proof they should get these issues sorted out asap. I will never be banking with starling anymore as me and my husband are left with no money. I will be going to ombudsman with a formal complaint.

Update after 28hours. Starling have not removed the restriction even after giving them employment letter and invoice and CEOs mobile number to verify the transaction. When speaking to customer service they were laughing at me because I was crying as they have left us with no money and with any update. I wish this on no one. The good reviews are all good until you have a issue. The app is good starling has major issue with its customer service and rude staff.

Starling Bank business current account

Unds frozen and don't know why
We have had problems with starling before with a previous company. Guess what problems again. We are unable to make card payments and transfers...

Apparently they have raised a ticket?

~starling please do not write a reply telling everyone you have solved the issue or that you are looking into it when you haven't done anything, I will update this review when you have resolved the issue.

Untill then I recommend nobody using starling as you risk having your funds frozen and then not told why.
