You haven't indicated what sort of amounts these payments are.
If relatively small amounts of less than £100 pounds, then the sending company may write off the amounts as they probably feel recovery would cost more than it was worth.
If large amounts your bank would probably have already accused you of money laundering, closed your accounts, and told you to naff off and bank elsewhere.Optimists see a glass half full
