[ilovesprouts]

hi my ds1 has a joint savings account with his grandama ,my mum,my son lived at my mums house [long story],wen he started work ,he put so much away to save for a rainy day,so fsat forward a few years ,he met a girl and they are going to become parents in may,so my mum thrown hinm out ,so he now wants his own money from the joint account ,and my mum will not give it to him as anyone got any advice ,by the way my son is 20 years old !and my mums stuck in a time warp so to speak

Has she given any reason? Taking housekeep?

no shes just been a funny sod ,she wants him at home stuck 24-7 to her apron strings iykwim

If it is a joint account and is accessible then he can take money out from it without her permission; that's the whole point of a joint a/c.

He needs to get the a/c no and the sort code, go into a branch of the bank with ID, and ask to withdraw his money. They can't refuse.

my mum will not give him the account and sort code number !!

But wouldnt he have needed those details to lodge money?

I agree with scaryteacher, just get him to go down with photo ID and proof of address where he lived with your mum and say he moved and has temporarily misplaced bank details (if he doesnt know them) but needs to withdraw money.
