Did I just commit fraud?
Tried to do BP thru BB. Sent my husband a check, without realizing it still had our old address on it. Called BB to cancel and they said they'd look into it, but I never heard back from them. Eventually the check showed up at our current address and my husband deposited it. Then, i got an email from BB later that week saying they'd reviewed my case and put the money ($500) back in my account..agh! It had already cleared at our account at chase a while ago. DOes this get fixed? Will BB or chase realize I owe them money? I actually feel really bad this happened...not sure what to do.

Sorry, I guess I should have finished (hi jet lag). My husband withdrew the funds from BB because he didn't know. Should I deposit $500 back into BB and then give them a call? He doesn't MS but has access to all my accounts. It's been like 3 weeks since I've been out of town

Ask BB to tell you their preferred method to resolve this, rather than asking strangers on an Internet thread (like me!).
Fraud statutes generally require an intent to deceive someone, which does not appear to be present here, from what you have told us.
It would be best if you sent BB a letter or an email, rather than a phone call, so you have a written record of your attempt to return the funds.
