OK, got a odd one for ya.
My buddy had thieves transfered a $5000 debt from their account to his using a cash advance check.
He called both credit companies and both credited him $5000. This eliminated the $5000 debt, but also put his account at a $5000 credit.
He has called creditors over and over because the $5000 in his account is not his. Neither company steped up to correct the mistake. This has taken place over the last 8 months.
A few days ago a check was sent to him for the $4982. I round up the dollar amount before.
Now seriously can he keep the money? Does he get in trouble if he does keep it? Should he call them again to correct?
I said put the cash in a high yeild and if they call him, give it back.
We have thought up some crazy ideas. But I don't wanna see my buddy go to jail for someone elses mistake.
