The scary thing is that he actually thinks he is giving the OP good (and correct) advice!!

Oh, and mdhughes ~ pleased to meet you fellow gimp

I believe perhaps he has had the same problem, or maybe he has his own company in which case I believe I have found the company logo:

I personally think they'll never notice. Reason being it will just be some gimp behind a computer typing in the wrong number for the BACS payment - they'll be in trouble for the mistake, so they aren't going to bring the issue up. Only thing would be if someone else got paid a wrong amount and someone checked up on the work the person making the error had done.

I'd suggest OP keeps money and sees if they come asking for it. My bet is they won't and you might get lucky if this person types the wrong amount in again

Plus, is there something that says we all have to legally look at our bank account statements straight away and check any money we receive against wage slips? There's none that I know of. OP might not a bank statement in the post for another 3 months, and there's nothing that says they have to legally look at it and pay back any unsolicited monies.

And also, regards this comment I wouldnt want you working for me!!!!:eek: :eek:
In payments or as a worker, you should very dishonest no wonder Tax is so high, its people like you who put it for the rest of us!!!

If people were to stop and think about there advice and if they would really take there OWN advice I doubt they would to be honest, knowing it is aload of complete and utter rubbish - it is a laughing matter but as for the OP I somehow doubt the TAX exuse is going to wash, May I ask how much TAX you pay each year??!!!
Something sounds odd to say the least, if its even true, I think you knew you were overpaid otherwise why clear your debts now, why noy pay a small bit off, someone is telling porkies:T

Tax is high because rich people, most often employers, are greedy and use every tax evasion method in the book that they can get away with.Highest earners should be taxed more and loopholes closed, and tax reduced for the lowest earners, and minimum wage increased significantly. Alas, rich people tend to vote more than poor people so the Government want to please them so none of these will ever happen.

Also, if people were paid proper wages, they would have no reason to want to keep £3k overpayment. If the employers are stupid enough to pay employees the least wages possible for their work, employees are going to have a need for the £3k :rolleyes: If employees were paid properly in the first place, without a handful of people at the top of the business owning more than 2 houses worth £2 million blah blah.

Employers have a right to be greedy and get away with it, so should employees :money:

I would be worried if I was the OP:


Obtaining a money transfer by deception
Theft Act 1968
“15A Obtaining a money transfer by deception

(1) A person is guilty of an offence if by any deception he dishonestly obtains a money transfer for himself or another.

(a) a debit is made to one account,
(b) a credit is made to another, and
(c) the credit results from the debit or the debit results from the credit.
(3) References to a credit and to a debit are to a credit of an amount of money and to a debit of an amount of money.
(4) It is immaterial (in particular)—
(a) whether the amount credited is the same as the amount debited;
(b) whether the money transfer is effected on presentment of a cheque or by another method;
(c) whether any delay occurs in the process by which the money transfer is effected;
(d) whether any intermediate credits or debits are made in the course of the money transfer;
(e) whether either of the accounts is overdrawn before or after the money transfer is effected.
(5) A person guilty of an offence under this section shall be liable on conviction on indictment to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years.

Thanks Johnny, but RE my last post, I think the OP should seek some kind of legal advice before it gets to this stage - and no one make sthe misake of thinking "Oh 3k refund of tax, I spend it on repaying debts soon as you get it" come on, be real now!:rotfl:

How do you know that the OP isn't paid a *proper wage*

Still a crappy justification though for keeping money you know isnt yours ~ thats the bit your not quite grasping isnt it?
