Senario: cash is depositted into a bank account at the counter/teller and the customers copy of the paying-in slip is not retained. The money then does not reflect in the recipients account. Can the person who made the deposit prove that the money was in fact paid in ? Please help. Your advice could get someone out of a lot of trouble.

The person who made the deposit knows the exact amount (£700), the date and approximate time. She has spoken to the teller and bank manager and they have told her they can't help. Please be aware that she may be telling me 'porkies' too.

In america with our banking softwear if the customer knew the date, time, exact dollar amount, and which teller they went to the bank could easily track the transaction...So this person may very well be "telling you porkies"

Sounds like someone committed fraud.. by stealing the cash and not depositing it into the customers account. If it truly was cash that the customer deposited and it wasn't deposited then there is no record of the "cash-in" to the teller drawer therefore his/her drawer would not be out of balance. This is why it is so important to ensure that you get a receipt for all cash deposits to prove that you actually made the deposit..the other way is perhaps to pull security video to see the transaction being made by the customer....

How long ago was the deposit? Was it only cash? Does the person who made the deposit remember approx. the time of day, the exact dollar amount and the teller? If so, they should be able to trace it that way IF it wasn't to long ago.
Go to the branch manager. They can trace deposits made by that teller to discover where the cash went.

There are a lot of ways to get caught, and most of them don't even include them noticing the bank deposits. You know you are legally required to pay tax on this. If you don't, then if and when they catch you, you'll owe what you would have owed in the first place plus interest and penalties, and the interest and penalties could easily grow to more than double the original tax. You could be prosecuted for tax evasion and end up in prison. They'll acquire the money from you by putting you on a payment plan, and if you don't pay, can and will seize any assets you have including draining your bank account.

Suggest to your friend that they ask the bank to check their Security Camera tapes ..
If the banks refuses, your friend could inform that that they will go to the the Police and report the bank teller for Fraud and then the tapes will be seized anyway ..
If you are not totally confident of your friends honesty, I would suggest passing on this idea but NOT following it up = what they do is up to them

You need to contact the bank. They will have a record of all deposits made in the bank on a certain day. They should be able to trace it for you.

Isn't it funny that this sort of thing only happens when cash is involved. "Oh, I didn't keep a copy of the receipt." Personally I don't believe a damn word of what you are saying.
I have dealt with banks, cash and banking for some 45 years and never had the vaguest problem, but then again I run a pretty straight line.
Grow up, get a life and stop trying to wriggle out of whatever mess you have got yourself into.
