Look He didn't get his hands on the money, OK he may have tried to but he didn't. Just put it behind you and forget it, you are not going to get anywhere by going on about it.If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.0

Agreed, especially seeing as his plan didnt work.You can quite easily argue that you misread the post and though the Mrs was Mr and then when you realised your mistake you went to pay it into your wife's bank account.
Obviously this isn't what happened but it's going to be very unlikely the above could be disproved.
Phoning the police for this will be an absolute waste of everyone's time.
The rest of it i conceed could go either way, although is totally arguable due to the state of the OD in dispute account.
But, if you apply occams razor to both storys (her and whichever version seems best for him) then i think she tips it.,Fully paid up member of the ignore button club.If it walks like a Duck, quacks like a Duck, it's a Duck.0 -
Easy enough for you to say forget about it when his intent was basically theft, he has his own account and I have mine the joint is overdrawn and to be settled when finances are so not actually in use.
The letter was addressed to me and the cheque was too we have been separated over a year now and have 4 children, the story is a long one and his behaviour has been nothing but despicable this is just another in a long line of events...
I have asked my solicitor regardless, I was just hoping for some advice really as a call to the police isn't and wouldn't be on the cards.0 -

He banked a cheque with your name on it into your bank account.
He also opened mail addressed to me that actually is against the law but hey ho...0 -
If your account is overdrawn and in difficulties, wouldn't you want the money to go in there, particularly as he couldn't withdraw it.0

It's OD because of me having to leave the marital home because he refused to, it can get sorted with the finances we're not financially struggling between us but neither of us is prepared to pay this off, he could afford to as he doesn't have to pay for the kids and has a tiny mortgage and is on 50% more than me but keeping the bills paid here is my current priority and since FD have no issues neither do I.0 -
So my ex husband to be lives in the marital home and has opened a PPI reclaim cheque that was sent to me in just my name and tried to bank it in out joint account that is OD and suspended until finances are sorted. So he has done this despite me having 3 children and a huge rent with a much lower income while he's there in the marital home with a tiny mortgage and no overheads like cars to worry about!!
I'm fuming what can I do? The bank are sending me a copy of the cheque and the paying in slip at HSBC can I follow this up anyway or get some justice??Easy enough for you to say forget about it when his intent was basically theft, he has his own account and I have mine the joint is overdrawn and to be settled when finances are so not actually in use.

It is not against the law to open mail addressed to someone else.
I am sorry you don't like what I have said but all you are doing is working yourself up over something that didn't happen and what do you intend to achieve?If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.0
