Student loan paid in (late) last week. Since then I have been withdrawing £250 per day to pay of debts. On Monday I went to Uni and withdrew £10 for my lunch and a second hand book. On Tuesday night I checked my on-line banking to see if some DD's had came off only to find that the £10 I took out at Uni has actually been credited to my account instead of debited from it. My pi**er is simply that why oh why could this not happen to one or all of the previous 6 transactions for £250 and not the only one for a chuffing ten spot. Oh, the cash machine in question is located at the QM union in Glasgow Uni if anyone is interested. Don't know if it is still rebellious.
cheers.
Oh my god!! Have you just read my post? ****ty student debts and everything - what a nitemare!
Don't be too p***ed. The bank will spot this problem and take it off again. If you did gain £250 (or £500) and spent this, you could be prosecuted. Remember that ATM machine that was giving out *free* money? All those people had to give the money back, and if they didn't they would need a good lawyer.
Equally so, remember those stories of ATMs just spitting out money willy-nilly without a care in the world, and no-one was actually using it.
No-one had to pay any money back that time.
Of course, it never happens to me.
And that bloke from that insurance company who was doling out fistfuls of tenners - oh, sorry, that was an advert ![]()
" Of course, it never happens to me "
It happens to me but too late - was driving along M4 one fine saturday morning and some idiot had left a briefcase full of money on his car roof and drove along the same stretch of motorway and yes you guessed it the briefcase fell off and opened spilling £5, £10 and £20 notes all over the motorway causing chaos as the drivers of the vehicles behind were fighting each other off but I was a few hundred yards further up and didn't know what the fuss was about.
One day my day will come
