    so if someone uses your sort code and account number, and yes, people do not check their accounts regularly, quite possibly if large sums do go through it.... you are saying that money shouldnt be returned?

    how a person can get your sort code and account number... well it is the 21st century as well as it being 2019; that in itself isnt difficult with people out there. So it baffles me with some of the responses here.
    I don't think anyone is saying that money that was genuinely taken in error shouldn't be returned, just that your apparent expectation that this should be quick and simple is optimistic, as the bank will take some convincing that the claim is valid, given the highly unusual circumstances....

    There's a huge difference between not checking your accounts regularly, and not checking them for 2 years. It's also quite illogical to suggest that people would check less frequently if larger sums went through their accounts - if anything, they would check more frequently.
