overpayment

Many of us have enjoyed

the classic board game Monopoly,

and we’ve most likely received the

“Bank error in your favour, collect £200” card.

In real life though, it doesn’t quite work like that.

Overpayments can and do happen,

but the recipient isn’t legally entitled

to pocket the money,

unlike the player in a game of Monopoly!

So when you find more in the bank

that what you suspected

then they  could well  be  an overpayment 

that  then they you should be repaid
