THIEF lol:mad:
LOL :rotfl:
Technically I did not steal anything. The money was placed into my account without my expressive permission. Might I suggest you consider improving your knowledge of the English language, perhaps by purchasing the Oxford Dictionary rather than wasting your time loitering in the benefits office.
Here is some definitions for you to read:
thief
–noun, plural thieves. a person who steals, esp. secretly or without open force; one guilty of theft or larceny.
steal
–verb (used with object) 1.*to take* (the property of another or others) without permission or right, esp. secretly or by force: A pickpocket stole his watch.We’ve had to remove your signature.

Advice from Citizens Advice Bureau
Overpayments to your account
If money is credited to your account by mistake, the bank or building society is usually entitled to recover the money, as long as they do this within a reasonable time.
There may be some circumstances in which you're allowed to keep the money, for example, if you didn't realise the bank had made a mistake and you spent the money in good faith. For you to be able to keep the money under these circumstances, you would have had to have spent it in such a way that it would be unfair to ask you to pay it back.
If you think the bank or building society is being unfair in asking you to repay the money, you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman – see under heading Further help.
If you do have to repay the money, you could try to come to an arrangement with the bank to pay back the money in instalments without further interest being added. In practice, a bank or building society will normally agree to this.
If you don't pay back money you owe to the bank, you could, in some circumstances, be prosecuted for theft.
For more information about how to deal with people you owe money to, in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, see Help with debt or, in Scotland, see Help with debt.

Remember, you have already told us you think a mistake has been made and also that you don't want to tell the bank in case they take it back, so that you can presumably, keep it.
It's you that has to live with yourself. You know the difference between right and wrong.Please ignore those people who post on this forum who deliberately try to misinform you. Don't be bullied by them, don't be blamed by them. You know who I mean.
You come here for advice, help and support- thats what I and like minded others will try to do.0 -

Not sure why you're being so self righteous over this one cocknose. I don't see where he's said that he won't repay the money if asked to?
Where abouts does it say that he should contact the bank to let them know they've made a mistake?0 -
(never heard that expression before, where did you hear it?Not sure why you're being so self righteous over this one cocknose.
Are you suffering from anger symptoms, getting worked up or do you crave attention?
Is there something in your pyschological makeup that we should know about?
I think you are a bit upset about something.)
Listen a second pal (I won't resort to your tactics, much as you might like me to :cool:), Elky has the opportunity to do the right thing and let's hope that he will.
Some pensioner might need that money, it should go back to the rightful person.Please ignore those people who post on this forum who deliberately try to misinform you. Don't be bullied by them, don't be blamed by them. You know who I mean.

I don't like you. Rather than being helpful, your posts are tyring to pick fault in regular helpful members. The comments are irrelevant to this thread, and therefore unhelpful to anyone choosing to read it.
Assuming the cash was destined for a pensioner, rather than simply a banking error, then I'm sure the error will be picked up on, and the case returned to the rightful person.0 -
I don't like you.
Water of a ducks back, pal.
You chose to, in effect, bully someone and you don't like payback, when someone intervenes on the victims behalf.
In the interests of other users, I won't post again.
Presumably, you will want the last say. Go on, it will do you some good to get it off your chest.
BTW, do you know what definition of pal I'm using??;)Please ignore those people who post on this forum who deliberately try to misinform you. Don't be bullied by them, don't be blamed by them. You know who I mean.

No, I didn't bully anybody. I stuck up for a member who is an established helpful member of this community, who was being threatened by the OP, who had a major attitude problem. I then got abuse back for this!
Not bothered about a last say at all, just unsure as to why you keep trying to start a fight with both me and ElkyElky?0 -
If you checked the date of my post regarding the money, you'll see it was sometime last week. The origins of the money has since been discovered and why it was deposited into my account. It certainly is none of your concern and you shouldn't worry about it, as you clearly are doing.
"BTW, do you know what definition of pal I'm USING??" ... If you're referring to the profane version of that, then I'll have to correct you by saying it is an abbreviation, not a definition.
I must say, you're an amusing little man.We’ve had to remove your signature. Please check the Forum Rules if you’re unsure why it’s been removed and, if still unsure, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

I'm actually a woman deary, well over 60 but game for anything. Could show you a trick or two!
I don't find you amusing in the least.:TPlease ignore those people who post on this forum who deliberately try to misinform you. Don't be bullied by them, don't be blamed by them. You know who I mean.
