BANK ERROR IN YOUR FAVOUR?

bank_error_in_your_favorHOW WOULD you react if a substantial sum of money was mysteriously lodged to your bank account one day? Would your first phone call be to your bank manager or your travel agent? Would you attempt to find out where the money came from? Or would you cross your fingers, do nothing and pray that no one ever noticed?

It’s not an abstract question. Read the full article here.

    Did this really happe & Did you pay the money back?

  2. Eoin Says:

    Yes, it really happened and, yes, I had to pay the money back. Technically, I don’t think I had to repay the money. So each month Ulster Bank had to ring me and ask me if they could take €200 out of my account and I had to agree.

    Finally payed it off late ’08 or early ’09.

  3. Jenny Says:

    Why did you pay money back if you didn’t have to?

  4. Colin Says:

    Cause Eoin is an honest man. And Ulster Bank gave him vouchers for strip clubs worth 250 euro for every 200 he paid back as was their custom at the time.

    Lol, that’s a lot of lap dances!
