QuoteDepends on your conscience boy....
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?

Bertie, is this what your lawyers meant by taking your time to come up with an explaination?
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
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 !!
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.
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.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

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...sisters129.xmlTwo 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!.
Personally i'd leave it there for a week or so, have you checked your online statement to see the name of the lodgement
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
The money was just resting in my account....

Just says "LODGMENT ******".
The exact figure is 1,872 which would be €12 an hour for a 39 hour week and no tax. I'm trying everything to figure out what it is.
Ask to see the cheque. The bank should be able to produce a photocopy. It may take a few days.
When whoever the money was supposed to go to checks for their cash and it isnt there - they will no doubt query with the bank. The bank will check all the reports for that day for the figure and come accross your transaction. Then they will cancel and reverse the transaction and the money will come out of your account. 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...
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
How's the Doc keeping these days? He's a character. Just can't seem to get him on the phone of late.
Tell him he's to get back to me about that whole "looking after my life savings" thing.

dont spend it whatever ya do, they will eventually realise an error somewhere and retract it from your account..remember the lad in england when 18 million was lodged in his account by accident, he reported it straight away, if that was me it would be cayman islands all the way!!
