i thought my father had made a mistake and had sent me the money twice or that a bank error had occurred.

It's nice to know you thanked your dad.

Hi

Today i checked my online banking and there was a payment made to my accout for £122 all it says is bank credit. im not expecting a payment or anything just showed up out if the blue. What should i do just leave it and wait or contact my bank??

Never happend to me before.

Quidco put money into mine last month that I wasn't expecting, are you on any cashback websites?

But when you spent it you thought it was your dad's error. Not haha at all

This post does brighten your day up after a long hard day.

Scary thing is - how can people steal from their parents?

Do you have no morals?

It was Theft clear and simple

I had a mystery deposit of £21.00 cash into my account once, you know what I did, I went into branch and explained it wasn't mine and must have been paid in error.

Jeez, nothing like not learning the lesson eh!
Try it pal, you STILL won't get to keep it, you'll STILL have to pay it back and you'll STILL risk legal action if you can't. haha

Oh, and if you ever make a mistake when transferring funds to someone else you'll shrug your shoulders if they decide to not repay to correct the error won't you? Or will your attitude differ if the situation is reversed?

If this is serious you should be seriously ashamed of yourself!Thinking your own dad accidently gave you the money twice so thinking it was ok to spend it and not talk to him and sort it out?Disgusting!

I love these threads! After a dreadful day at work i'm grinning from ear to ear! I'm off in search of some free money now, anybody want to wire me some?

Sure I'd be happy to!

To tranfer the money to your account, I'll need your bank details, obviously, your date of birth, mothers maiden name...
