Luck smiled on her: A woman woke up one morning and found 775.000 XNUMX in her account
In August 2020 a woman in England, who preferred to remain anonymous, checked her bank account and found that she had been credited with the amount of 775.000 pounds.
However, despite her pleasant surprise, she did not know what to do, because as she said "My experience was amazing, incredible and strange, but at the same time a nightmare."
The money was deposited in her bank account by HMRC (non-ministerial part of the UK government responsible for tax collection, payment of certain forms of government support, management of other regulatory regimes).
The "lucky" woman, however, was worried about the legal consequences, as she knew she could find her trouble under the law, in case she decided to keep an illegal credit.
So despite the fact that spent .20.000 XNUMX of the amount owed to her, after 15 months he chose to solve the issue and as it turned out the HMRC had made a big mistake.
She found it in her account 775.000 pounds from… wrong
In particular, a member of her staff had made the mistake, while trying to credit the woman the amount of 23,39 pounds as a customs duty deduction.
The money credited to her was not intended for another person or company and the mistake might never have been found if the woman had not decided to appear.
«It was made into a Hollywood movie. So after overcoming the initial shock, I assumed that someone would understand the mistake and sooner or later get the money back. But no one did and the money remained in my account ", he said.
«They assumed that HMRC staff would have noticed the mistake when I paid my tax in November 2020, but nothing happened. I tried to contact them, but I could not get a line", He went on to say that he had too much money that he could not spend.
Eventually he managed to get in touch with the HMRC, which started the procedures for recovering the amount from its account. As for how much he spent, there will be an agreement between the two sides, taking into account the economic conditions.
