Problems with Barclays ironically-named Smart Investor let me to asking them to transfer my family's ISA accounts to iWeb. That was on August 28. iWeb have confirmed in writing that it took six approaches from them before Barclays agreed the transfer, on the last day of October. And each account will probably be frozen for three months while the transfers go through. So I shall be unable to access my life-savings for the best part of five months! It is a national scandal. Barclays Smart Investor is the financial services' answer to Care In The Community.

Barclays Smart investor??? don't make me laugh, it's a Dumb Investor that stays with Barclays,

5-10-17 update
Yet another day Barclays 'Dumb Investor' withholds my Lloy dividend - In response to my email 'Dumb Investor' acknowledge they are having problems processing divi payments and compensation would be considered

In the same response 'Dumb Investor' acknowledge receiving over a month ago my instruction to move my ISA to Halifax,

Divi event details
Lloyds Banking Group PLC ORD 10P (LLOY.XLON.GB) has declared a GBP 0.010000000 per share interim dividend. Investors who held shares on 9 August 2017 are entitled to receive this dividend and it is expected to be paid on 27 September 2017. - We will aim to update your account within five business days of receiving the proceeds.

IMO the sooner my accounts move away from the shambles that is 'Barclays Dumb Investor' the happier I will be.

Poor customer service and expensive overdraft charges.

After being with Barclays for over 14 years I'm leaving. Unhelpful service, wanting to charge £5 to see previous statements and ridiculous over draft charges! Can't wait to be rid of this company.
