You need to contact the bank, they will know where it has come from as it will have a reference
Do not draw on the money as it is NOT yours. If you do and they find out eventually that it went in to your account in error, they will want it back.
Ring them and ask for the reference, before you tell them its not yours0 -
It could have been a refund from some fraudulent action which is going on a lot just lately.2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040

They would have contacted the customer first though to advise that it would have come out in the first place0 -
Not necesarily. Someone was taking small amounts out of my bank at a time like £5 here and £10 there for about 2 months before my bank contacted me. They refunded the lot but in the time inbetween them phoning me and them blocking my account they took £1500 from my bank.Butlers1982 wrote: »They would have contacted the customer first though to advise that it would have come out in the first place2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040 -

dear bling, I have just noticed that a sum of money has been taken from my account, around £249.00 in fact I beleive this has been accidentally put into another account. The name in which I have the account is FLING which is what I was going to use the money for. If you think our accounts may have been mixed up, please forward the dosh to me forthwith.

Well except mastered my mortgage 5 yrs early :T:j
