The third time was a charm, however, my MVD account now has $2K! What should I do?! Help!! I don't want to call since its going to a mess! Should I just wait for them to figure that they have made a mistake and remove the money from the account?
You have a week or so before the card arrives. Call in and get it straightened out. You dont have any activity on it yet for them to really analyze. Plus, you risk further grief when you start using the card and they realize the issue later and the funds are no longer on the card and they approach the card owner (not you). |

Seriously, I've heard of banks going after people who have done that!

Seriously, take the money. If they ask for it back, ask them to document. very likely they will give up.
2) the card isnt under his SSN so that can cause trouble for whoever it is under. |

Yeah, demand they provide a copy of their DL and SS card and then stonewall them for 2 weeks.

You can google this kind of situation and find out more. I know we dont like what InComm has done to our accounts, and they are holding the money from many of us. Unfortunately the regulations do allow such to certain degree (pending investigation before account closure, and funds returned to the rightful owners, blah blah blah.) The customer though, could not take out money not belongs to the customer without bad effect. |

according to FBI definition, it is not larceny. if someone put some money in your pocket, you probably can spend it. I personally got extra $500 when I tried to load moneypak into amex prepaid a while ago. the right thing to do is "don't ask, don't tell". if they realize it and take it back, fine. if not, keep it.

Yes, it is considered Larceny - take out the money deposited in your account due to bank error and that you know it does not belong to you.

I called MVD today, a good 10 days after submitting my DL and SSN. I was put on hold several times and for about 20 mins total. Result was nothing...an email has been sent to have somebody look into my account and call me back. I was told if I don't receive a call back tomorrow, to call them. Guess I'll call tomorrow and see what happens.

Compliance. That's the magic word. |
Soooooo I take it the sky has now stopped falling with people getting their accounts shut down? It's been awfully quiet lately. Maybe they forgot about us? Shhhhhhhh.....

One data point can be. Multiple account holders got shot down? Any single account holder's account was shot?
