    Recieved other person's bank details

    Heres an update. Received a call from manager of local-ish branch, approx 25miles away. He said there was a problem in the Dublin office. He didn't want it posted back so he drove out to collect it. Was very sorry and assured me this does not normally happen. Don't know what to think really.
