Too much money refunded back on to credit card

I had my credit card fraudulently used, and the money was refunded back onto my credit card, but too much was refunded back, I have told the bank about this on 3 different occasions, but they still haven’t removed the overpayment, this was 9 months ago. How long does it have to stay there before it becomes mine? If anyone has had any experience like this before some advice would be great.

Thanks

    6 years before they can't claim it back. Probably worth writing to them instead :)

    This happened to me last May. Card fraudulently used and the transactions refunded. Then the next months statement the refunds were duplicated. 2 lengthy phone calls and 3 statements later covering a period of 4 months still the duplicate refunds had not been dealt with. Then I sent a letter with a photocopy of statement with the duplicate refunds highlighted. This worked.
  • Thanks for the info I'll send them a letter instead!
