THEIR mistake but I am paying for it

    When I moved from FL to VA, I closed out all utilities, etc. A few months after I moved, I got a refund check for $57 from them. A few weeks later, I got another one. I cashed them both.

    Apparently, they messed up and sent the same refund twice. I was never notified of their error. Now I have a collection on my CR for $57. Jerks.

    Do I send a pay-for-delete letter to them and wait for them to respond? I moved from FL in March 2004.

    This one is very frustrating.

    Hmmm...that is really frustrating. This is the first time I've actually heard of this happening. I bet that if you had overpaid without knowing they would have graciously kept your money and never said another thing about it. I would dispute it through the CRAs first and await their response.
