How long will victims be killed by the use of a pen

1. Our company became a victim of a scam 2. We reported to Barclays 3. Barclays investigated, suspended our account in September 2022 4. In Oct a KYC was done on our company by Barclays 5. Barclays told us that they could not retrieve the funds from the scam 6. We approached a third party who took the case to the Omnibus man on the 14th Dec 2022 7. Barclays contacted us on 29th Dec to close all our accounts including our personal accounts 8. On the 31st Dec Barclays uploads a false credit report which does not align with our bank statements 9. On the 26th Jan 2023 Barclay gives us the balance left on our account in a branch, despite stating on the credit file that £0 was the balance as at Nov 2022. We tried opening accounts in other banks but were declined because of our credit file and were advised to check our company credit file 10. The revelation… Why has Barclays created a credit report of our company which is full of untruths to Experian to discredit and wreck our lives and livelihood? The truth always comes out in the end.. Our company account was closed yet there was still money in the account. On our Experian report it states £0 yet the bank gave us over £600 in cash without a receipt for an audit trail.. Yet the Experian credit report stated £0 in November 2022 and was updated at the end of Dec 2022. I wish I could add the evidence of the credit report and copies of bank statements - they are totally far apart. This has affected our health and livelihood as we can’t open any bank accounts at present, even to put the money that Barclays gave us from our supposed closed company account on the 26th January 2023.
