In the Ombudsman’s words
Monzo gave Mr B two months’ notice. I’ve looked at the information Monzo has provided to support its explanation for closing Mr B’s account.Account closed or refused
Monzo has sent me copies of the online chats, and email chains, it had with Mr B. I note Mr B was actively using this email address when Monzo were informing him that he needed to settle his overdraft debt and what the consequences could be if he didn’t pay or make a payment arrangement with it.Credit file reporting
Mr B raised chargebacks as part of a dispute he was having with two separate merchants.Card dispute or chargeback
Mr B is unhappy Monzo didn’t provide him with the appropriate level of support given the acute vulnerabilities he disclosed to them.Support for vulnerable customers
