Remittance Credit ?

Lennon

I've searched and googled a bit but I can't seem to find anything about this.

I have a strange credit on my bank account and I have no idea what it is.

27/11/2007 Remittance £22.00
CAPITA REM
Apparently remittance is some form of sending money back home oversees ? Is it likely this is just a mistake where someone has sent the money to the wrong account or could it be something suspect ? I'd love to phone my bank (barclays) to ask but alas I can't seem to find a phone number where I get to speak to someone/don't need to be registered for telephone banking.

A remittance is any form of payment. (You've Googled into a paper tracking the average (per capita = per head [ie person] payment of money back home by migrant workers - hence the 'overseas' bit)

More likely the Capita ...... that is a major outsourcing company - that has made the payment. Handle pensions (partic Govt) / private health / TV licence / congestion charge(currently) etc etc. You due any refunds, or similar, from any such source?

Think Mikeyorks is likely to have identified the source of your mysterious credit, although the other alternative is that you work/ have worked for Capita & have at some point claimed expenses or mileage - it shows up as a remittance on statements etc (well from Capita it does).
I used to work for Capita & have claimed expenses, although they can be often be processed any time between 3 days & 3 months, usually as a fortnightly BACS run?

thanks guys,

I'm not due any money from anyone or any kind of refunds and have no idea who Capita are. I'll keep an eye on it and see if I can get hold of an actual person at barclays if anything else appears.

As the credit was only applied today - it may well have a bit more detail (reference etc) applied to it - after your Banks overnight Batch run tonight.
