No but I sent my season ticket loan to someone else's account because the savings account behind our joint account was given a different sort code. It took 6 weeks to get most of it back and I always wondered why it was exactly £n.00 shortenthusiasticsaver said:£1000 gone to savings this morning but like an idiot I have sent it to my YBS Christmas regular saver instead of our joint savings account. That means I have to wait for it to bounce back as the regular saver has already been topped up this month and only takes £150. I need to distinguish between them on my banking app as the account numbers are very similar.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes to bounce back. Has anyone else done anything stupid like that? That will teach me not to do online banking early in the morning in a rush.Save £12k in 2026 #2 I have banked £10,836.47 in 9 months, against a £10k target The Save £12k in 2026 thread is here

Whoops. Not just me then. Thankfully YBS rejected the payment and it went back into my Starling account this morning. I have transferred it to the correct joint savings account today by using the YBS deposit app.Suffolk_lass said:
