RBS "Lost" £7000 :@

I find this all very hard to believe and feel the answer may lie closer to home.They will look back on the CCTV if he went into the bank to do the transfer.There is also a good chance they taped the telephone call if he did it via phone.

OP I'm a bit confused too because I remember reading some posts of yours a few months ago and I was sure you said that the money was sitting in your OH's sisters account. Forgive me for being "sad" but I just went and checked and sure enough you did say that back in Feb. It was there due to your OH's situation.

Looking back on previous threads you say your husbands sister transferred 7k from his account to hers mid feb 2009 as you could not get access to it as he was 'away'.She then would give you an allowance from the 7k.Did you not wish to put it in your own account as you are on income support ?I hope you get this sorted and get married ok but there seems more to this than meets the eye.

surely the brother in law would have a reciept or something a slip for the transfer espec being that amount i hope it is the banks mistake but does sound dodgy

Do the dole office know you have £7k in savings? This would affect your income support claim.

It would be irony if the money was in the sisters account so that the benefits office did not know it existed and then the OP has it stolen.

Also, cant see you having any problems holding the caterers off for a few weeks seeing as though in Feb you mentioned you were hoping to get married in two years time so they cant be chasing payment.

There may be any number of reasons for someone to save a large amount of money in a third party's bank account. Unfortunately, most of them are dishonest and involve fraud!

So assuming, for the sake of argument, that someone transferred their assets to their brother/sister-in-law in order to commit fraud, then it is safe to assume that all the parties are comfortable with dishonesty.

The reason for the 'Bank Error' suddenly becomes clear.

There is an audit trail for any bank transfer. The person who made the transfer will have been given a record of the transaction.

The record of the transaction, if it exists, will show where the money has gone.

Best advice would be to look after your own money!

Has the Brother in law got the new car yet?

oh dear, people please, it is YOUR MONEY, DO LOOK AFTER IT

If you would like me to look after it for you, meet in in the Red Lion, opposite the station. I will be at the bar wearing a pink shirt and yellow shorts, so you will not miss me. Be there before eight any evening, I will be the one drinking Mindadjusting Best Bitter. If I am not in, just leave a stuffed envelope with the nice girl I know behing the bar, with the lovely set of ...
