What could it be for? It was just a weekend job with an outdoor retailer while I was a student. I left June 2013 after working there for about 7 months. I've tried to contact them but no one's got back to me and I'm dying to know if I can spend it 😀 Thoughts?

Possibly you were taxed at emergency tax code, and this is your (R)efund?

Wouldn't a refund normally come from HMRC?

Back in the day when i wasn't a public-sector-drain-on-society, I got any refunds through my employer.

Things may have changed though.

Coins or notes ?

Protein shakes.

As bear said, some emergency tax coding, youll have got this back as they are sweeping up at the end of an accounting period

Spending money that you don't know is yours is theoretically theft, under the 1968 Theft Act.

Try one more time to contact them and ask. Make a note of the attempts (in case they chase you for it) otherwise spend it.

Did you get payslips? If so where to. They may send one to your home explaining

When my Dad left his job after many years he took his pension out of the company scheme and moved it to another provider.
A few weeks before his 65th birthday a letter arrives from his old compnay personal pension scheme provider.
" Could you please contact us with details of the account you would like your pension paying into "
Thank you very much indeed , double bubble. Unfortunalty didnt really live long enough to make the most of it.

Probably smells of some over-expensive gentleman's scent @ that price

Surely it's money he's pretty sure [i]is[/i] his, having worked there.
Now, if it was money appearing from some other random account that the OP has no knowledge of, you might have a point.
