    There were some earlier postings about Creditexpert going wild in regard to scores on the simulator etc.

    Last night, my bank's computer went wild. I knew I had a balance of about $171.00, I always like to confirm before I withdraw for gas etc. When I checked the bank ATM may checking balance was:

    "Current Balance $17,100.00"

    I almost had a heart attack - how I wish that was true. I kept the receipt, I think I will frame it for posterity - it's the most interest I ever earned in a day on a checking account.

    Of course it was an error, I actually called the automated system this morning and it is still showing. I called the bank directly and let the customer service department know. I really got a big kick out of this and just wanted to share.

    Hal,

    Maybe they won't find the true owner and they'll let you keep it. Wouldn't that be nice? :)

    Next time, the error may not be so flattering. You could find yourself with a balance of $1.71... :) :)

    That is so true Richguy - as of 5 PM, the money is still in my account. This should be great for my Average Daily Balance : )
