I had an active Chase UK account back in 2023 but closed it. Its been over 3 years now and I wanted to check if they allow people who have left to re-open accounts. Has anyone has any success with this?
So I’m 44, been living abroad for over 30 years. My mum came to the UK about 13 years ago for cancer treatment and we’ve all stayed here since because of her health. None of us have been back to Bangladesh properly in that time.
Turns out my dad (who’s now 73) secretly got married again to this woman who’s around 41. They’ve been married for about 13 years and she’s had two kids with him. He sold off family land and basically gave most of the money to her. Then he went and bought a 6-storey building in her name in the small town we’re from in Comilla district. I only found out recently through some documents and photos that got sent to me.
My mum still has no idea. She thinks everything’s fine. I’ve got proof of the marriage, the building in her name, her ID, even her birth certificate. The whole thing feels like he just started a whole new life while we were stuck dealing with mum’s illness and everything here.
Is there anything I can actually do about this from the UK? Or is the property just gone? I don’t even know where to start with Bangladeshi law around bigamy or family property. Any advice from people who know how this stuff works back home would be appreciated. Feeling pretty lost right now.
