Did I just get $380 in free money?
 

So on friday I deposit my check.

The amount (because I was sick as hell, missed 7 days, and took a $900 draw) was $587.53.

I deposited that amount minus $380 so I could pay the rent when I got home and get a haircut and what not.

I look at my bank account today, and my deposit amount is $587.53, when it should be $207.53 because of the $380 cash I kept.

Did I just get free money? Think Wells Fargo will fix the error? Is there a time limit on this sort of thing to where it just becomes mine?

It will NOT go unmissed. Its happened to me before and they will catch it.

I bet they wont even notice

Dont you have to sign a slip for record of the transaction? Remember the ammount for deposit that was on that slip? If that said 583XX then youre set, but if it said 2XX and the rest was cash then they would probably catch it

one time i got a withdraw from the bank and they put the wrong account number in 3 months later i got a bill from the bank and had to pay it

Re:Did I just get $380 in free money?
 

i filled out the slip myself.

i remember writing 207.xx in the deposit amount. I am sure its a teller error. And yes I signed the slip.

If they notice it, do you think the error will be fixed in a timely manner. I don't want that money still sitting there in a month wondering if they're gonna take it.

They have this thing called "accounting" and when the money he got isn't accounted for they will find out where it went missing.

One time the electric company forgot to cash a check I wrote to them. That was a free ~$150. I still wonder if they are just going to decide to cash it one day. :-\

i think after so long banks wont cash seriously old checks anymore. not sure tho.

look boostie! you're in the 8000's

Re:Did I just get $380 in free money?
 

It depends on your bank, but the longest I know of is checks that are over 180 days old are void.

Nice. It's been at least 4 months. ;D

The only thing I did different was I sent it in the mail directly to the company instead of dropping it off at the local office. I haven't sent one in the mail since then because I didn't want them to find out and cash the last one. ;D
