tax refund query??

Postby NEWOSA65 » Tue Jul 31, 2018 10:45 am

Hi Everyone,
Just wondered if someone could advise me...
I received a tax refund this morning (must have been HMRC as i recently submitted my tax return) and it was immediately removed. It didn't show on my normal internet banking, just my mobile banking app.
I am a bit confused for two reasons.... (1) why would it be removed as quickly as it was placed and (2) if it was HMRC i am hoping it was them that took the money back!
Can this sort of thing happen?
Thanks for all replies received, always appreciated.

This needs urgent attention

I would be very careful and inevitably you have to wonder why it would appear in your mobile banking but not be duplicated in your online internet banking.

I trust that if it seemed to come in you did not require to give any personal financial information or pin numbers etc. If for some reason you have given out pin codes etc in any way I would contact your bank straight away to discuss.
regards and hope this helps

Speak to your bank without delay. Once you can assume is error, twice suggests someone using your bank account to launder fraudulent repayments.

You also need to contact HMRC as they may get to the root of the problem if it is an internal fraud
