Strange Payment

Yesterday I had £337 put into my current acc:

It is a chaps transfer with a ref PET*******

I went into the branch to ask what it was, they had no idea. I even had to tell them what CHAPS was.

Anyway, how can I find out where this came from? The 7 didgits number doesnt ref with any of my accounts

  • It could be a variety of things - the most obvious is Pet Insurance?
    If not that could it be wages paid a different ways because of Xmas holidays?

    Your bank's CHAPS department will be able to find out which bank and branch sent the payment or you could wait for them to ask for it back if it is definitely not yours.
  • Thanks, I will try my bank again
