Just wondering if anyone can help me as im unsure what to do....
I rang my bank this morning as i had direct debits due out on tuesday and they had taken all of my money and left me £101 over drawn.
I rang the bank and told them that i needed the money as i needed to buy shopping and i had 2 children. They said that they would cancel the direct debits and adjust my available balance allowing me to spend £80 today and would return the rest of the money which was only around another £50 on tuesday. They said it would take around half hour for it to show on my available balance.
I checked online around an hour later only to find i had over £17,000 as my available balance. My actual balance is still showing as normal.
Im not sure what to do? Can i spend this money? And what happens is i do? I keep checkin my balance online and its driving me crazy looking at all that money just sitting there.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Oh course you can't spend the money.
Don't be ridiculous.
Sorry - didn't realise this was a troll thread.
Haven't you got anything better to do with yourself?"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -

100% genuine bs.
It's not even a banking day."One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."

It will be a rather big error on the part of the bank, if you think you're entitled to spend ANY of that you'll be shafted by the bank more times than a Nottingham prostitute.

It sounds to me like they have accidently given you a £17,000 overdraft....spending it would make it your debt that you need to repay.Matched betting profit since Feb 14th 2009: = £638.59
:www: Joint Savings for a house deposit - £3424.14 \ £10,000 (34% of target reached)
:starmod: Personal savings for insurance \ car \ holiday etc - £2765.63 \ £3000 (92% of optimal running balance)0 -
