Account closed or refused, Data and privacy
In the Ombudsman’s words
Barclays asked for a copy of the club’s licence. It said unless a copy of the licence was provided, the club would need to find alternative banking arrangements. Mr R decided not to provide a copy of the licence. While I understand the reasons he’s given for this, I think he was made aware that this would mean that Barclays would close the account.Account closed or refused
Mr R is concerned that he could breach data protection laws if he provides the licence.Data and privacy
