Should I tell of my REFUND

I can't believe you haven't phoned and told them of their mistake already!

Someone might lose their job over it!!

Wouldn't they be more likely to lose their job if the OP informs them that a mistake has been made?! If he/she keeps quiet then Asda may never find out...

Anyway, the OP has a legal (and, I would argue, moral) obligation to inform Asda of the error and offer to return the money.

if you put the money into your savings account your main account will go minus balance causing you to have a bank charge.

Because it's always people like this that come back moaning when a retailer unexpectedly takes a payment and leaves them overdrawn!

It always amazes me the number of people on MSE who post before engaging their brains or reading the OP properly.

The fact that the OP has had a credit applied to their Credit Card has absolutely nothing to do with their current account.

You can still go over your limit on a CC and thus incur charges!!

Do they really have a legal obligation to inform Asda of the mistake?

I'd agree they had a legal obligation to pay back the money if asked, but not to voluntarily contact Asda. Otherwise presumably the law works the other way round and any company that overcharges a customer and doesn't resolve the issue without being asked would be breaking the same law - and when does that ever happen?

Yes, but that's not what the two posters I quoted were talking about.

Go to the casino and put it all on red. If you win, give ASDA their money back, if you lose, complain that ASDA have caused you to become a gambler and ask for compensation.

Seriously, What your doing is theft. You know the money isnt yours, SO GIVE IT BACK!

This is a ridiculous idea! Everyone knows you always bet on black! Just ask Wesley Snipes!

It's not theft. The money was not appropriated dishonestly.

It's not really any different to finding a wallet in the street and keeping it - still theft if you find / erroneously acquire something & fail try & unite with the owner but instead try to keep it.

The money was given, not found. It's a civil case, not theft.

I would suggest contacting the company and telling them they've made the error.

(Last time I found a wallet it was at an event; I went around looking for the owner and gave it back to him. I noticed he checked it to see if his cash was still there, which it was.)
