At least 60 British customers of the French bank Crédit Agricole have been told their bank accounts will be closed in 60 days due to complex issues post-
Retired headteacher Michel Taylor, 78, who lives in Aveyron with his wife, said he was “devastated” to receive the news and did not understand why they had been told to close it.“Maybe there are some dodgy accounts but not those of ageing foreign couples like us paying our bills at the right time. We have made transfers to keep it topped up regularly.”
He told the website: “It seemed to imply it had been overdrawn. The wording was blunt and made us think we had done something to break the contract. My local branch has always been fabulous. Our contact says he has had a lot of Britons ringing him.”
