How safe is it to do this?
Sorry to be an ignoramous but just wondered whether this is totally safe . I am owned some money from a friend who I (supposedly) trust.
Is there anything to be careful about, giving her my account number and sort code, just to transfer some money into my account.?

Its fine. You are giving away no more information than if you wrote her a cheque.

As potplant said, that info is on a cheque anyway.

Dh has that information from lots of people so that he can pay them via online banking.
