ahh, I see.

I seriously doubt they will charge her an admin fee for correcting the error.

I think you should definitely call and get it staightened out. It is probably somebody else paying to the wrong account. If they find the error they can still take the credits off of your account and you will still owe. You can't claim they made a mistake, so you don't owe them money. YOU used the cell phone, YOU know you didn't pay, YOU would still owe the money.

Not to mention, it is just wrong to keep something that doesn't belong to you.

Sarah, years ago a friend of mine who was married and broke. She was putting her husband through school. One day at the bank she had her passbooks updated and noticed a sum of $50,000 was deposited into her savings account. No one she knew had any money and it certainly wasn't hers. She reported it to the bank who told her that it would be a good idea NOT to touch it until they did their audit. They did it and said it was hers, she argued with them...they audited again...same thing. The only conclusion they could come up with was that someone with a lot of cash deposited it into her account by accident and just didn't notice. They told her they could not legally prevent her from removing the money but suggested she did not touch it because when the person realized the error, the bank would be taking it back.
Months went buy, months so tough that sometimes they barely had enough to eat...they didn't touch it...she kept asking the bank...same answer. They told her that after 7 years the money was legally hers and no one could go after it. Seven years later her and her husband went on the honeymoon they never had with the interest from the $50,000. When they got back they put a down payment on their first home with it. It has been 15 years since she noticed the money, no one has ever inquired about it. They assume it was an older person that deposited it and they perhaps died and the relatives did not know about it and hence didn't look for it.

Good things happen...I would suggest you enjoy it while it lasts...keep the money in a seperate account in case they find the mistake at some point.

This will only last until the person realizes his bill isnt getting paid and when the phone company figures out where the money went you will be responsible for paying your bill. If your going to take advantage of someones mistake be ready to pay your bill when you get the notification from the cell company.

When you originally got your phone 3 years ago, did you have to put a deposit on it?

I remember when I got a cell phone in high school I had to put X amount of dollars down to be eligible for service.

Could this perhaps be the case for you and they are finally now creditting your account?

Give me your fucking cell phone

don't say shit. Just make sure you have the money 2 pay if and when they find the error.

If it was another person paying by mistake it stands 2 reason they wouldn't have phone service, being they have not paid there bill. So I would guess it's the phone's mistake.

I use 2 get double and triple payments when I had a main stream company, and I mean often, just one case of a company calling me and ask if they had paid me $5,000.00 by mistake.

Pan Am was great with paying an invoice 2 or 3 times. they went busted

Who cares???

I'm not promoting SlickCash you spammer...

I usually turn down a free lunch because there are always conditions behind it, but in this case I don't see the harm in riding it as long as you can. The worst that can happen is that they notice the error, in which case you'll have to pay for the past few months. Best case scenario, you'll never have to pay again.

Do what you feel is right! :thumbsup

how does God feel about picking your nose and eating it? i think i might be in big trouble.
