HELP. We have received 2 deposits which have no name on it. Just a transaction number on one and the name of the bank, Nationwide Building Society on the other. We have however only one name of a participant, but we have no idea from whom the other deposit is. Can the persons who have not received a confirmation of receipt contact us, please and give details of their transaction?
