Left Job but still Getting Paid...

I left my previous job about 2 and a half months ago. I received my last pay but did not receive my P45. Then the next month was paid again! I have no number for payroll but have an email address, so i emailed them but got no reply. I emailed 3 times but never got a reply. Then last month i was paid again!! Now, as i haven't received my P45 i'm assuming that payroll still thinks i work there, so i have emailed another couple of times but am getting no response?? I've no idea what else to do. Can anyone advise?
I like my money right where I can see it - hanging in my closet.;)

Contact your old boss? It would have been their responsibility to notify the Payroll Department.0

!!!!!! don't spend the money. When they realise their error they will ask for it back. Meanwhile, open a high interest account and put it in there. No reason why you shouldn't earn a bit of interest.Never Knowingly Understood.

Hey, good idea! I never thought of that! I have put the money in a separate account but just a basic one.I like my money right where I can see it - hanging in my closet.;)0 -

Yes, write an old fashioned letter to the address you used to work at and keep a copy.
BTW, you have done the sensible thing putting it into a separate account, but if you have debts - eg an overdraft with your banks and you have to money in the same bank, beware that the bank could take the money under the right of offset. Use a different bank.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Surely you can recall the name of your employer and can ring the switchboard and ask to be put through to HR? Or visit there in person?
I think you just want the pay to continue so are half heartedly making an effort to contact so that if they ever accuse you of keeping money you can say 'well I tried to contact you' !
In fact, let us know the name of the company on here and I bet we can get the phone number for you pronto !
