    I'm no expert on bank transfer protocol and stand to be corrected by anyone who has done it recently, but I would have thought that a bank transfer would have gone through and allocated to the account, thus rendering it 'active' again.
    Maybe you should have tried it rather than asking them. Not all society emoployees know the full story. You would have found out quickly enough as it would have been returned to its origin if rejected.

    In the past I had an account with a small building society inactive for 12 years, I sent a deposit by bank transfer and it was accepted.
    Another BS wrote to me saying I had an account unused for 7 years, and if I didn't want it to be called "inactive" to simply send the passbook in for updating. Whilst others say this doesn't make an account 'active'.
  • As I said previously i closed quite a few with no activity for 10 years plus with no problems I could understand if moved house/changed name etc.....its no biggie as I used all freepost addresses from a different thread

    me too. they wouldn't have refused to allocate a member's funds to the member's account.
