I'm in agreement with the posters who think the hubby has a bit on the side....

Can't be as the money never hit their account....

But maybe it was Mrs paying the toyboy :rotfl:

Looks like the D Fail has simply used cut 'n' paste on that story

Now bank won't give back her money

Why should they stand the loss, when it was her fault :mad:

Yes you are right I was confused, it would be her toyboy the money was going to!!
Typical lazy journalism from Daily F.
Still can't get my head around not noticing £1000 a month going missing, I'd notice a £1 vanishing.

no offence - but I won't definitely notice £1000 going missing - I'd probably notice anything over £25 or so.

terrible of the person that received it to just keep quiet and withdraw and spend it each month - thats a whole months wages to some people.

I expect they'll be on here soon, bleating that the bank want them to pay back the money, and how unfair it is, how should they have known it was a mistake?

I really need some anti-cynicism pills.

....together with Sally and her hubby, shouting foul because HSBC or Nationwide (or whoever the thieving recipient banks with) have failed to tell Sally that she didn't use the account number she was meant to use. Or some such convoluted reason for why they should be entitled to a full refund, plus compensation for the anguish caused.

And then we will get the MSE compassion brigade tell us how disgusted they are that we show so little empathy.

Don't forget, it'll be a Daily Fail victory when BACS announces that it's monitoring the problem. (Despite the announcement being made several weeks ago.)

Give Fos says it only get a round 100 complaints on this issue a year.
Strange that its...

they are mostly from people who have wrongly been credited extra funds and believe that they should be able to keep the money.

And NOT the one's who have made the error :rotfl:

Balance that amount ,against the number of faster payments made every day.....

I wonder if the complaints amount to 1 secs worth of transfers.
