She Fight Beyond the Property: When Banks and Telecoms Betray You
Chapters 2 – The Financial Institutions Betrayal
From Property Scams to Financial Warfare
After surviving the chaos of fraudulent property developers and unfinished investments, I thought the worst was behind me. But the truth? The battle had only just begun.
In this next chapter of my journey, I expose how financial institutions and telecom giants—those we trust to protect our money and communication—can become silent predators in our lives.
The Credit Card Trap: A Glittering Lie
In 2019, I was lured by NewDay Ltd’s Amazon partnership, which offered a £5,000 credit limit and sparkling rewards. It felt like a lifeline during the pandemic. But behind the glitter was a trap.
One blocked transaction spiralled into a humiliating accusation of fraud. I was mocked, doubted, and dismissed—all because I dared to joke about my age. Their disbelief wasn’t just about identity—it was discrimination.
I fought back. I gathered evidence, recorded calls, filed a complaint, reported it to the Ombudsman, and sued them. And I won! However, even after victory, NewDay continued to threaten. The emotional toll was immense—panic attacks, hospital visits, and a haunting sense of betrayal.
Chapter 3---- BT’s Default Nightmare: £38 That Almost Broke Me
Between 2021 and 2023, BT claimed I owed £38 from years ago. I had proof of payment, but they didn’t care. They sent letters, called, threatened—it was relentless.
Customer service became a battlefield. Each call was a repeat of the last, and each representative was more confused than the one before. I escalated, documented, and even involved the Financial Ombudsman. They sided with BT.
But I didn’t give up. I contacted senior management, presented my case, and finally, after years of torment, BT removed the default from my credit report.
