You usually need more than one point of identification to withdraw money from a bank. I wouldn't worry too much, but just pay attention to your dad's account and any strange debits

Instead of asking us, why don't you ask the bank -_-

My statements only have my account number and sort code. So far as I know, you can't do anything with that.... other than make a payment into said account. But I might be wrong...

He was told if he went to the bank, they'd kill a hostage.

I'm a banker. PM me his account number and I'll add it to our "watch list" - a list of accounts to which we provide extra protection against theft and fraud.

I could be wrong, but I'm going to guess that the TC means a receipt, as in from an ATM. At least I hope that's what he means, for his dad's sake.

That makes more sense.
