long story but mrs swinger went home to denmark for crimbo, her mum insisted on paying so tranfered £500 to her credit card, but for some reason the transfer went wrong, and her mum was refunded the money, we have just got a statment showing the money on her card, should we spend it and laugh at the banks cock up or be honest and tell them? |

Well, that depends on your honesty. The public quite rightly feel somewhat ill-disposed toward banks in general right now but it is still a question of personal honesty.
If you wanted to go down the keeping it route, you would be well advised to put it somewhere safe for a year until you are sure that the mistake has not been spotted. |

we are not in the position where £500 is a life changing amount thankfully so can repay it if needed, but the banks have caused so many so much hardship its hard to not be happy about it, think i might give it to charity  |

Depends on when the transfer was. Some transfers seemed to take ages over the xmas break. It might still be showing on the statement but not actually be there now.
I'd tell them either way and get it sorted.  |

And check it hasn't since been taken from the mother in law's account.
