This morning we had a sum of money paid into our joint account. It was a bank giro credit. The reference didn’t specify whether it was for me or Mrs Mottie. It just had an 8 figure reference number. We have no idea who it is from. I've been on to my bank for about 20 minutes. I want to know who sent it so that I can find out what it was/is for. They are unable to tell me anything other than the 8 figure reference number. I asked them that if I didn’t want it and wanted it returned to the sender, who would they send it to. They couldn’t tell me! Seems bloody strange that. Anyone else had unexplained deposits into their accounts? Seems like an easy way to launder money with no comeback on the recipient?
 
Regards to Posh George. Joking aside, you mentioned that you are actively involved in re form politics so that could be a source, accidentally or otherwise.

I know one or two people that it happened to. In one case it took them over the capital limit for benefits, so I suspect they knew exactly where it came from. The bank wouldn't tell them who had sent it (personal data) or remove the payment because as recipient it was not theirs to give back. I'm not sure of the final outcome but I imagine eventually you will be able to repay it.

You have a record of the conversation with the bank. Its a case of sitting and waiting for the reversal request.
 
It’s very strange there’s no details on it, only a reference number. Transfer it to an empty account if you have one
