A dad has been left struggling to his pay bills and feed his family after £1million was withdrawn from his Barclays bank accounts.
Dad-of-two Darren Edwards said his bank has “left him in the dark” for the past month with no explanation about where the money has gone. The 41-year-old said she first realised there was an issue with his bank account when his card got declined four times at a McDonald's drive-thru on April 25.
When Darren checked his bank balance, he found both of his bank accounts were £500,000 overdrawn.
Darren, from Lancashire, has sons Alfie, 5, and Declan, 9, to care for. He told the Mirror he has "nothing left" and cannot afford to pay his bills.
He added: "I can't even afford to feed my family anymore. My friends and family have been helping me out, but that is also taking a toll on them as they have their own bills."
Mr Edwards said he thinks that his account may have been hacked or there has been a transaction error.
He said he usually saves about £3,000 in various bank accounts for monthly bills, general living expenses, and a summer holiday fund.
Mr Edwards said: “I’ve tried ringing the bank but the woman couldn’t tell me anything. No one would explain what was happening. I went to the bank and was in there for some time but they said the same.
“We had plans to take the kids away to Blackpool over the weekend but we couldn’t do that.”
Mr Edwards also explained how the family had been saving up for a holiday to America in July, but was just waiting for a good deal before booking flights.
He said: “We can’t do that anymore. Everything is just up in the air at the minute. It’s a shock that everything’s gone. It ruined the bank holiday for the family and put a strain on everything else.”

Before Meghan Markle ever walked into Prince Harry’s life, the struggling spare had wondered what his life could be like beyond palace walls. In a resurfaced interview with author Angela Levin, the Duke of Sussex spoke candidly about his desire for an "ordinary life." His thoughts were shared in Levin’s 2017 column for the U.K.’s Daily Mail as well as her 2018 book, "Harry: A Biography of a Prince." "I spent many years kicking my heels, and I didn’t want to grow up," the now-38-year-old told Levin. "I felt I wanted out but then decided to stay in and work out a role for myself." British royals expert Hilary Fordwich told Fox News Digital it’s likely Harry would have attempted to escape the pressures of being a "spare" beyond his home country whether the former American actress was in the picture or not.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic You can easily hear the impact of Tina Turner in the music of Yola, one of the greatest singers of our generation. But it goes far beyond any basic level of influence for this British-bred, now Nashville-based powerhouse. Before becoming a recording artist and Grammy nominee, back in her native U.K., she was a teacher and lecturer in vocal biomechanics who would instruct young singers in how to emulate Turner’s singular voice… or at least how to try. Yola spoke with Variety about Turner, who died May 24 at age 83. These are some of her thoughts, on everything from Tina’s pure technique to the unique challenges she faced as a Black stylist without parallels or filters to her place in genre-bridging musical history.
