I got a lodgement of €1,800 into my bank account (by cheque because it took a few days to clear) but I haven't a clue what it's for. It looks like a monthly wage but I get paid weekly by my job and the company name comes up on the statement. This just gives a lodgement number on the statement. It's probably a mistake so do I sit and wait or ring the bank?
Depends on your conscience boy....:)

If it's a mistake I'd happily keep the money. If it's likely to get found out either way I'll just ring them. I don't know if it's a coincedence that I was in the bank for a withdrawal the day of the lodgement.
Id say someone just put the wrong number on the slip. Ring the bank and tell them its the right thing to do. And they normally figure it out anyway and they will take it back off you !!
Withdraw as much as possible with your bank card, then go straight to the bank and report your card stolen. Doing it while the money's in your pocket would feel extra special I guess.
Good idea. :D But I actually lost my bank card last week which is why I had to go into the bank to withdraw.
withdraw all and close the ac:D

Two sisters have been given custodial sentences for helping to spend nearly £135,000 which was put into one of their bank accounts by mistake.
:(
In fairness there's a big differance in the figures there to compare. For one he could easily pay it back, i doubt they could and secondly you could easily argue how you didnt even know it was a mistake as it's not a massive sum, i think with £135k it's beyound obvious it was'nt meant for you!.Quote:

Ask to see the cheque. The bank should be able to produce a photocopy. It may take a few days.Quote:

So I wouldnt go spending it.
Damnit - I told my good friend Dr. Fedrick Mobutu Sese-Seko it was a nine not a five over the phone...
How's the Doc keeping these days? He's a character. Just can't seem to get him on the phone of late.Quote:
