NatWest
Inter-Trading Community
NatWest Corruption by Neil Gunn (Formerly Neil Ward)
The Accusation
In 2002, if you told people that your bank (NatWest) was involved in putting your business under you would receive looks of disbelief. That's what I faced. Even my own family wondered if I was going mad. Only in the last 2-3 years have stories been coming out, and reports such as S166 and Turnbull, exposing Bank perfidy such as RBS GRG (Global Restructuring Group) which is said to have begun in 2008. Without knowing anything about banks or finance, I reported similar concerns as early as 2003. Even asking them outright was met with no response?
I was a young man with a young family, and a good business, but like most people, I tended to trust the big names of banks on the high street. From around 2002, Natwest Bank set about to destroy my life and brought about significant hardship through a web of connected NatWest customers/employers/suppliers, who reciprocated business to target me through a common and vicious agenda. The Government refers to this practice as "Inter-Trading Community", prevalent with certain groups or clubs. Although, myself a targeted individual for over 25 years, I have persevered since 2002 with ongoing career & life discrimination linked to NatWest Bank, ever since I exposed a large fraud that was affecting my SME at that time.
At the time of fighting this I was alone for the most part, but today there are many victims who share stories and collaborate through groups. I could name at least 20 individuals, including my elder brother, who conspired in dark corners to financially rape & pillage me at every opportunity. Those names have been reported and filed. In 2007 I went back into the employment workplace, determined to rebuild my life, but up until recently I have been discriminated against in every job and every legal system process. This link is the first proven claim of 'Blacklisting' for construction workers, but also exists for others like me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-2281708 Company bosses are colluding against peoples beliefs, union membership, or in my case because of my elder brother exposed me to a form of human trafficking.
One recent example of this corruption was in 2015, when I sold a £75K profit Telecoms deal in my first month of joining a company called Vision (Office Automation) Ltd. I job-hopped there trying to escape the perils of former employer Annodata. They made significant use of my telecoms knowledge and expertise, but the result was that I was slandered out of the company, they split my commission down among non-active sales staff, and colluded with my former company Annodata, where my former manager, a Freemason and Conservative Councillor, Murray Grubb deliberately disrupted the employment tribunal to ensure I couldn't win. Never have I seen a clearer agenda perpetuated by a shadowy system of Inter-Trading. Furthermore, Vision's Directors actively promoted their sales staff into leasing fraud, such as signing the certificate of satisfaction before the equipment was even delivered. I later found out that my manager at Vision, Peter Brown, has a long standing relationship with my elder brother, which was of no surprise. I was due a large sum of money but the Inter-Trading Community again colluded to ensure I couldn't win a simple breach of contract case.
"If we continue on the current path of ignoring corruption (& the group agenda), there may be no way we can rescue the majority of humanity".
Whistle-Blown in 2002
In 2000 my accountants FDM Associates Ltd introduced us to NatWest based at 4th Floor, 1 Princes Street, London EC2, where unusually empty offices were used, with the knowledge of NatWest, to carry out malpractices against targeted individuals such as me. So many joint accounts were managed by FDM Associates and NatWest Bank which enabled an array of companies dissolving, most victims of which probably had no clue as to what was going on.
Can anyone prove the existence of the mysterious 4th floor with whom I once banked?
Conlict of Interest
In 2002 I accused NatWest of intentionally affecting my business trading. I worryingly came across this Companies House record who's nature of business is described as "Development & Sell Real Estate".
Whether this was the company at fault or not, it has since closed.
NatWest Princes Street Ltd, Dissolved Via Voluntary Strike-Off 18/08/09
Tax / VAT Fraud
FDM Associates/Secretaries, our accountants, were on the Companies House records of 188 companies, often acting as Company Secretary, but with many businesses including mine, they signed on as a Director without authorisation.
I became suspicious of FDM when I started receiving large TAX/VAT bills I had already been paying some but was advised by FDM that I was up to date all the while they buried us deeper. I realised very quickly that something was wrong so I took my books from FDM.
Later NatWest advised that I must return my books to FDM or they would no longer deal with me and so began to pull my overdraft at the same time my business was being sabotaged? I believe that FDM was duplicating company accounts, taking TAX/VAT benefits from the legitimate company whilst leaving victims like me to pay alot more than necessary.
FDM Associates Ltd, Dissolved Via Compulsory Strike-Off 06/01/11
FDM Associates Ltd used an unusual signature "FDM Associates Ltd" but still managed to trade long after the whistle was blown.
The Result
Fighting against NatWest meant fighting against the system. I lost my home, business, patent pending, marriage, daughter and livelyhood. My ex-wife and daughter ended up in a bed and breakfast full of druggies, and I was left homeless, courtesy of NatWest bank. I have since worked hard to impossibly rebuild my life, but they are still putting every barrier in place to ensure I cannot progress, and it is apparent to me that they have been doing everything to drive me and my (new) family into similar despair. NatWest and the Inter-Trading Community should be fully investigated, by the Police. There is more than enough evidence circulating.
Being put out of business, I have found working for others to be problematic at the very least. I changed jobs 6 times between 2014-2016, where my career has been blighted by business employers who either banked with NatWest or had affiliation through the community.
In 2015 I was diagnosed with throat cancer, after a long line of abuse in the workplace, aged 45. The stress and tricks caused by the Banking Cartel, lead to my illness, I have rarely had a breather from it since blowing the whistle.
Almost immediately after treatment, i had weeks before again seeing another family being made homeless. I started my handyman company, innovated the system, and survived to fight another day.
So, according to The FCA, if you are a small business, and you have a fraudulent accountant, a corrupt bank and a team of individuals and companies determined to take your hard work, its impossible to defend yourself. If you speak out against the corruption, then expect to be further 'blacklisted' as it is unlikely you will enjoy a good career after your business is destroyed!
This case has similarities
In very similar case, B.A.Gough Equipment Ltd exposed the corruption and won his case worth £1.2Bn. (You can find this on the internet).
