Remember the whole Northern rock thing? Well, they sent me a double payment by accident.
Can i keep it or do I have to give it back?

Seriously. Does anyone know for sure if I am obliged to give it back. They put the money in my account, i didn't ask for it.
Totally irrelevant. Your bad investment decisions have nothing to do with a mistaken payment of money to your account. Just pay it back.Conscience? mmmm. I've lost alot on their shares as it happens.
Sorry guys, I would be more ruthless. If THEY did a mistake I keep the money in an interest account and when they ask for the capital back I'll give them back the capital... Sorry but I'm not a saint who corrects other people's sins
But certainly I wouldnt spend the overpayment because otherwise I could be liable
what if the bank holding the interest account defaults on the money and its lost ?

Remember the incident in 2001/2002 when a howiya asked the Bank of Ireland to lodge 300,000 pesetas in his Spanish account, and the teller accidentally lodged 300,000 Euro in the account?
He was reported on the news of living it up and, to quote "take a bite of the cherry". Obviously this ignoramus didn't realise that he was a weakling when compared to the second biggest bank in the state.
Anyway, the Bank of Ireland treated the €298,000 (approx) as a short-term interest free loan. The bottom line: he had to return the money, all of it. The bank did him the favour of not charging interest.
