If the money isn't yours, why do you think the bank shouldn't return the money to the rightful owner?

If you knew the money wasn't yours and you spent it that is theft.

Where do you stand? It isn't your money, so you should give it back.

As all the others say, if you were wrongfully (and knowingly) credited £500 that was not yours, and spent it, then you have stolen that money and should pay it back. They might give you some time to do so.

I think you should name and shame your former employer.

I used to manage a branch and it happened once in a blue moon.

As others have said, pay it back. It's not your money, why should you benefit from someone else's misfortune?
