Today I got a letter from my bank saying that while they did not in anyway admit that the bank charges they have made over the last 18 months are wrong they would like as a gesture of goodwill to reimburse me the sum of £1000 .This is the first bit of good luck I have had in ages may it be the turning point I have been looking for

Good for you, Mum.

This is the local Yorkshire fisting club. We are writing to tell you your subscription fees are due, and the sum of £1000 is payable to your local rep :-D

Thats terrific Alex . If this is not joint money with your husband cash the check and put the money aside . Honestly I would keep it in the form of bank notes for now until you fully know what is going to happen with things . You don't want some other bank snatching it out of an account . That must have been a wonderful surprise for you . allan

At today's rate of exchange that's $1949.10. Sounds even better in American, Alex!

What an absolute crock of shit. If they thought for a minute that they were right, there is no way they would offer you any money, let alone £1000. they know they are in the wrong. Bastards.

Get the money out as I said in cash alex as soon as possible . Your husband and his new lass might go get it before you do and don't expect sympathy if that happens . At least from me , allan

Years ago when I had a salaried job, my company once mistakenly deposited around $83,000 in my account on payday instead of the usual amount. Unfortunately they removed it the next day. I considered withdrawing it but decided if I was going to go on the lam, I'd need more than $83k.

My best mate had £5000 put in her account in error. She left it there for ages, and then asked her solicitor (not a pimp, but a lawyer) mother whether she would have to pay it back if she spent it...and then they noticed.

Apparantly they can take it back straight away, and you will be charged bank charges etc on it. You have no bank rights or anything.

Like I said before....Bastards.
