And then there was the elderly client who wrote me a check with "1100.00" on the number line but "Eleven and no/100" on the written line. Not accustomed to such large amounts, I didn't notice nor did my assistant who prepares bank deposits. A few days later, the bank informed me that my balance was $1089 less than what I expected.
Previously posted. Client deposited $200.20. Bank credited $200,200.00. Eight months later client called and said bank never reversed their error. Can he keep the money. I explained the concept of bank fraud. He was not a happy camper.
Although this error was in your client's favor, one would surely consider switching banks if after eight months the bank didn't know they'd made such a large error. Yikes!
