    And don;t forget, your car could break down, boiler need fixing or some crisis may happen that needs that money.

    Personally I'd put it into a savings account, and if it isn;t needed, use it to pay off a debt at a time.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    Hi,

    Whatever you do with it don't spend it!

    Just incase they come knocking on your door and asking for the money back. Like others have said I would save it in a high interest account and keep it untill you can pay off a whole debt. This will help you come off your trust dead a lot earlier and if they do notice their mistake you can provide them with details of how the money was spent and not frittered away.

    Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
