CorkerSWFC Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Alright all, If an account has been closed or frozen and someone trys to send some money to it will the money be sent back to the original sender ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 If it's closed, the transaction will be refused so the money will end up back where it came from. If it's frozen, it may depend on why it's been frozen. Sometimes banks will still allow money into an account but not allow any withdrawals - if, for example, they've temporarily frozen it because they think the card has been stolen. No fraudster is ever going to illegally deposit money to his victim's account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danniuk2000 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hmmmm tough one. What HeadingNorth says is true but also the money might go into a suspense account with the bank until someone notices it's gone missing. I would check with your bank x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dukedum Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The cash could also now go into the "bankers bonus fund miscellaneous earnings account". This is a new Tory gov idea wherebye the bank simply keeps the money for their bonuses unless you can prove that they have got it. If you can prove that they have got it, they pay it back but deduct a "holding fee" which is normally far in excess of the original amount that went missing.Hope this helps.

They made an error with an account number which cost us bank charges from another company, PLUS a call from a debt collecting agency. In the end we finished up with an apology and compensation.
