**18 Months of Lies, delay, and disrespect
**18 Months of Lies, Delays, and Disrespect** I wouldn’t wish my experience with Metro Bank — or the UK’s so-called financial “authorities” — on my worst enemy. After selling a property abroad, our buyer sent the funds promptly. That should have been the easy part. Instead, the Bank of England, HMRC, and Metro Bank turned it into an 18-month nightmare of stonewalling, buck-passing, and outright deceit. We made hundreds of calls, sent countless emails, and still got nowhere. When Metro Bank *finally* received the funds, they didn’t release them — they started playing their own game, holding our money for days with false promises of “just a couple more hours.” It’s impossible not to conclude they’re holding people’s money to use it for their own benefit while customers suffer. There’s no transparency, no urgency, and no basic respect for the people they’re meant to serve. If you’re thinking of trusting these institutions with your money — don’t. You might never see it again without a fight.
