NFT Main Disbursement credits to bank account

KayBee

My father (81) has recently had 3 separate credits to his bank account made by NFT Main Disbursement. He went to his bank but they had no idea where the credits were from.

I searched the forum and found an old thread in 2020 saying this was something to do with PPI but can’t find anything recent. The amounts credited are small amounts totalling £55.

Has anyone else had similar or has any idea what this could be. My father is concerned about this and is keeping the money in his account but is worried someone he doesn’t know has his details.

I saw a thread on Reddit about this last night, someone had the same into HSBC - it relates to Newday, there is an MSE thread on this back in 2020 when PPI was ongoing - it's almost certainly that

Would seem odd that PPI payments were still ongoing. Usually a one off payment.

They do periodically review things, maybe some are still ongoing and they spotted something, maybe a CSA made a mistake or they paid out less (say the Plevin ones) and decided to pay the balance. It could be other things of course perhaps an interest error where they overcharged or missed some paperwork so couldn't charge it for a period etc

Like a number of people, I also seem to have benefited from someone putting money into my account and by a strange coincidence the amount comes to £55.   Will that be the end of the matter?

As with OP, you'll likely get a letter in a few days explaining the details, no idea why they cannot email these things now (and amend any legislation that requires bloomin' snail mail in this day and age or at least allow us to opt out so we don't need reams of useless paper sent out rather than an instant email)
