A WOMAN has appeared in court on three charges of failing to cancel more than £3,500 that was wrongly credited to her account.

Mariam Suleman, 21, of Greenhill Lane, Bradford, was handed a community order for three charges of retaining a wrongful credit.

In the first offence, on September 30, 2019, knowing or believing that a wrongful credit of £1208.04 had been made to an account kept by her, or in respect of which you had an interest, dishonestly failed to take such steps as were reasonable to secure that the credit was cancelled.

She was also ordered to pay £85 court costs and a £95 victim surcharge for this offence.

In the second, on September 30, 2019, she was given a wrongful credit of £802.42 to her account and failed to secure that the credit was cancelled.

The third charge, also on September 30, 2019, Suleman received a wrongful credit of £1,525.44 into her account and failed to secure that the credit was cancelled.

Under the community order imposed, she was ordered to carry out 40 hours unpaid work in the community over the next 12 months.

Suleman pleaded guilty to all three charges when she was sentenced at Bradford & Keighley Magistrates' Court on February 4, 2022.
