“ATM gives out too much money”
“July 28, 2007”
“MANSFIELD, La. –An ATM at a northwest Louisiana truck stop gave out $20 bills instead of $5s, but authorities say they know who took the extra $7,000 the machine spit out and plan to track them down.”
“DeSoto Parish sheriff’s Lt. Toni Morris said the automated teller machine has records showing 26 people who received the extra cash during five days in late June and early July.”
“Annette Parker, a supervisor at Eagle’s Truck Stop, said she unplugged the machine after overhearing conversations about the excess payments.”
“”The next morning when we had come back in, someone had plugged it back up,” she said.”
“Morris said someone who did not work at the truck stop may have rigged the machine, which keeps records of when the money was taken and by whom.”
“Morris said charges could be brought against the people who got more money than they were debited for.”
Bank Error in their favor – you have 60 days to find it.
Bank Error in your favor – you could go to jail…Go figure…

ParticipantHey SD, hope things are well down south.
He has to pay it. I’m fairly certain that it’s been recorded on his credit report. Plus, he signed all the docs that stated his new loan balance which would include the 2nd which of course the lender has a copy as well. Even though it’s an error by Etrade, tell him to do the right thing.
That’s my take on it with what you wrote. It sounds like an interesting situation.

ParticipantYeah the posting actually was not made to advocate not paying the debt off at all. As you see in the posting my advice to the guy was to call his attorney if he wanted to do anything but pay it. Again, as I remarked the debt does not go away, it may not be secured by the home anymore but it doesn’t go away.
He should look at it like he was able to get a 60k interest free loan for a couple years. Cannot complain about that!
