Interesting dilemma....

[Brookamy]

Actually it is not really a dilemma since I know what I am going to do... Here is the situation...

On tuesday, I went to the bank and deposited $100.00. The deposit slip I got back said $100.00. Everything was right. My paycheck also got directly diposited the same day. So this morning I went on line and checked our account through on line checking. It listed my paycheck (which was right) and a $1000.00 deposit, but no $100.00 deposit. So obviously there was a mistake. I called the bank thinking that maybe it was just wrong on line but the teller stated the last deposits into the acount was my paycheck and $1000.00. I called my husband just to make sure he didn't come into some money..:lol: but nope he didn't. I'm not sure if they will find the mistake or not? :dunno: It is hard to believe that they wouldn't. So what do you guys think? What would you do? Would anyone not call?

I would have assumed they made a mistake and then given them a few days to correct it. Then I would have called and told them about the error. If it was still on the account in a week, I'd call again. Then I'd probably pretend it didn't exist because they will catch it and then take the money back out of your account without warning.

They will catch it at some point. They have to go over all the paperwork every day. I'm sure it will be corrected in a couple of days.

I would go in and have them fix it--otherwise they might just remove the $1000 and not even leave you the $100 you initially deposited. Besides that, my conscience would make me feel too guilty if I didn't say anything.

I just thought it might be interesting to see if others would let it go. I called and got everything cleared up. No worries!

Good for you :)

I'd do the honest thing and tell them as well.

Just to clarify, I was never thinking about NOT calling....I just wanted to see if there was anyone out there that might not call. I was telling a co-worker in my office about it, and she said that she wouldn't call. :dunno:

While it'd be very tempting, I'd call too. :nod: Besides, knowing my luck I'd go out and spend that $1000 and then they'd remove it from my account and I'd be bouncing checks all over the place. :lol:
