No Takers for Mystery Deposit
Last summer, a Natwest customer found £3,500 had been deposited mysteriously into her current account. She wasn’t expecting any such deposit, and when she contacted the Abbey (the bank from which it had been paid), they said it was from an off-shore account but could say no more. Since then, the consumer has been trying to either bank involved to take the money off her hands to avoid being involved in any sort of scam but both the Natwest and the Abbey still do not want anything to do with it.
The Abbey could only say that the money was deposited from an off-shore account.
A law firm in Leeds by the name of Lupton Fawcett advised that Natwest were not to be blamed in this case and that Abbey were responsible for obtaining the correct account number and sort code to which the funds would be deposited. John Eaton, the firms financial services director recommends that the consumer should contact Natwest and ask them to return the funds to sender. They will then be transferred back to the Abbey branch at which they were deposited.
