 TITLE: What to Do if There Is a Bank Error in Your Favor CONTENT: 2\\. Contact Your Bank\n---------------------\nIf you discover a bank error in your favor, alert your bank right away and ask them to investigate the source of the funds. It's possible someone else, such as a parent or other relative who knows your account number, put money in your account without telling you. If so, the bank will uncover it and let you know you're free to use the money as you wish.\nEven though bank errors sometimes get automatically reversed, don't rely on that happening. Telling the bank about the mistake immediately shows them you're being honest about the situation. Maintain records of your interactions with the bank about the error, including who you talked to, the date and what was said. END
