A woman has received an apology from Barclays bank after it sent her ex-husband details of how she was spending her money three years after their divorce.

Sara Derbyshire, 49, said her ex told her that he had received notifications about her spending on his phone for a whole week.

Ms Derbyshire, from Clayton-le-Woods in Chorley, Lancashire, said that when she and her ex-husband broke up in 2021, she changed their joint account into one just in her name.

But last week, despite none of his details being associated with the account anymore, he received multiple notifications about her spendings and withdrawals.

While Ms Derbyshire and her ex-husband had an amicable split, she told the BBC that she was worried the error could put people fleeing domestic abuse at risk.
