Barclays told mum-of-five she's half a million pounds overdrawn

A mum has been told she is almost £500,000 overdrawn despite claiming she should have £6,000 in her Barclays account.

Michelle Beckwith, 36, from Fazakerley, said she is unable to buy Christmas presents for her children or pay her bills as the overdraft has "swallowed" her money. She said she has no idea how she could have accumulated that level of debt.

The mum-of-five said she paid just over £2,000 into her account on Monday (December 12). She believed that should have taken her balance to around £6,000.
