Has anyone ever had a payment sent to a blocked/banned or closed bank account?
I tried to change circumstances in my journal but I was too late
payment was already processed to the closed account
I’ve rang UC they said it’s been sent to that bank account. they understand the situation and said they have to wait for it to bounce back. So I rang the bank with a BACS number to track the payment they said It bounced back straight away and never entered the account
im just wondering how long will it take to bounce back to UC so they can send it to the new bank details. Was meant to get paid today and it’s my sons birthday if I don’t get help my 1pm I’m going to have to cancel his birthday party
im with TSB bank

Hi,There are no timescales. When you changed your bank details were you asked to attend your local job centre to confirm your new bank details? They won't send payment to a new bank account until this is done.0

Hello poppy thanks for replying as I’m really stressedpoppy123456 said:Hi,There are no timescales. When you changed your bank details were you asked to attend your local job centre to confirm your new bank details? They won't send payment to a new bank account until this is done.
yes I went into job centre yesterday and confirmed my bank details so there it’s all up and running UC saying it COULD take up to 3 working days.. and my bank said up to 48hrs but could be a couple hours. Just want a Straight answer. Had to us ever happened to anyone else0 -
I honestly don't think you will get the straight answer you're looking for. Put a message onto your journal under the payment section and hopefully someone will see that today.

Was just wondering if it’s happened to anyone else and how long they had to wait??0

Even if somebody else responds that isn't going to tell you what will happen in your case. If UC have said up to three days that's what you need to allow and if not received by then chase again.0

Indeed, everyone's case will be different.

Ok sorry0

I’m young and I’m new to this I don’t really understand how it works0

And the only reason I’m upset is because it’s my sons 3rd birthday today I arranged a party for him and some of his cousins to attend but I’m going to have to cancel it it’s really really upsetting
otherwise I would just of waiting and not stressed out0 -
DWP can't send the payment until the other one has been received back. Are you able to borrow some money from family or a friend until you have your payment? This way your son's party can still go ahead.

You don't have to be sorry and realise how upset you will be
Your son won't even notice or remember buf why don't you just have a little tea party invite the cousins and ask others to bring along some snacks with them0 -
Have you managed to sort this out and received your money now. Did your son have a good birthday @davidsmig?0

Hi I'm going through this now I changed banks and waiting for the Halifax to send money back to HMRC but in my journal they have said that I have withdrawn the funds wich is absolute rubbish because the account is closed and they have put a default on my credit file0

You mention a journal and then mention HMRC. A journal refers to Universal Credit, which is administered by DWP and not HMRC.Claiming any benefits will not have any impact on your credit file.0

The bank will send the payment back to DWP. Once they receive it then should issue another payment. I have no idea how long this will take.leejeff123 said:Hi im just wondering if you solved the benefits going into your closed account I’m having the same problem a reply would be apreciated thankyou0 -

You will receive your payment but you need to wait for DWP to receive it back and for them to re send the payment.

Thanks for the reply.
Do you by any chance happen to know what timescale is involved, is it days or weeks.
