Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..0

No, you have to pay it back when they request it. Even if it takes years to do so. If you do invest it in a savings account make sure you are not penalised and out of pocket when trying to return the money. Most of the time the error is noticed quite quickly.0

I always wondered what would happen if you were on benefits and this kind of thing happened, and then the benefits people did a routine check of your bank statements - you'd get done for benefit fraud wouldn't you!?0

Not really. You could try to put it into a savings account until they ask you for it back, give it back but keep the interest?
Probably not worth it though!0 -
You could just notify your bank that there has been an error and ask them to reverse the payment.I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.0
