Sisters Forced to Repay Inheritance

After two sisters were given  £100,000 following their father’s death, they are being forced to pay it all back when the insurance company sent them the wrong man’s money. 

Elaine Briscoe and Sandy Millington received the six-figure check after a three-year battle to track down the missing pension of Rob Gent.  Immediately, the sisters split £40,000 between their four children and spent £20,000 more. 

Within a month after receiving the check, Friends Life said the sisters were given a pension belonging to another customer with the same name.  The pensions and insurance companies subsequently threatened the sisters with legal action unless they gave it all back. 

The pair was forced to sell their father’s house in an effort to repay the money they had spent.  They also had to borrow from friends and other relatives to make up the full amount including interest.
