hi lisabelle and welcome
An unsual situation but as long as you can prove that the money wasn't yours and that your friend was not trying to deceive anyone you should be ok
Have you been asked to attend an interview under caution ?

No but why do they normal get in touch for no reason

It is not for no reason if they have been notified of unusual or undeclared transactions. Albeit you were helping a friend, the DWP will only have seen money going into an account in your name

But it was tagged his name on the wages and not in my name . Can I get in trouble for lending him that account to use

You have done nothing wrong, as long as you explain the situation you will be ok. You should not get in trouble for helping a friend
