Walsham le Willows Sports Club in Suffolk has lodged a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman Service after saying it was “debanked” by Lloyds, despite having accounts with the bank for more than 70 years. The club, which runs cricket and football, says the decision affects its banking relationship that has been in place for decades. Treasurer Ian Campbell is reported as saying the club was debanked after 74 years as a loyal customer, according to the complaint.
The reports describe the club’s position and its decision to escalate the matter to the ombudsman, suggesting it is seeking review and resolution. The published information focuses on the club’s length of relationship with Lloyds and the impact of losing banking services, but does not provide details of the bank’s reasons for ending or restricting the account access.
Any outcome will depend on the ombudsman’s assessment of the complaint, including what prompted the change and whether Lloyds’ actions were handled appropriately.
