Electricity provider – accidentally transferred twice?

I have a credit of 2000 € with my electricity provider

They transferred it to me on 07.02 and again yesterday (twice)

So I've now received €4,000 because they're having some kind of problem or something. Can I just keep the money now? And say I don't have it anymore, haha

Above all, they just can't get anything done. I've been in contact with them about this for four months, and they just can't get anything done.

If they notice it, they’ll counter-calculate it like that. You can hope that you are lucky but usually saves the bookkeeping who pays it out and that is automatically counterbalanced in the background. Would be a lot of coincidence if that didn’t happen. Is no longer like 40 years ago where each invoice/payment was written with hand.

You can just wait and watch, but I wouldn’t expect you to get that as a bonus.

No, you can’t. Whether you don’t have it or not. See BGB § 812.

You already told the provider the error. Now it’s up to him to tell when and where to transfer the money back. If you don’t receive a claim by 31.12.2027, the promotion is statute-barred and you can keep the money.

And maybe take your turn. If, after all, 160 € are too much that you will pass monthly and are in doubt away, the provider should be randomly insolvent.

No, of course you can’t keep the money. It’s not yours.

Why don’t you sign up there and point out the mistake? You may be told that you are expected to return.

If you keep it, it’ll be a slap.

Missing Transfer – How do I Behave?

Anyone who finds that unjustified transferred money increases their own account balance can refer it back or leave it on his account until he is asked for his consent to a rebooking. It should be discouraged from the project to deliberately issue the foreign money.

For: If the recipient had the unjustified amount of money on his account or if it had to know, this could have legal consequences. Above all, at higher amounts, the court will hardly lose weight to the recipient that he would not have noticed the transfer. In addition, bank customers are obliged to regularly check their account balance for their accuracy.

pay your cash first to a blocking account – and return it to the account then specified!

As long as no one goes to the FS, he can keep the money. If, for example, after 20 months, you will notice the misbooking, it must, of course, refund the money.

I assume he won’t have it anymore. This does not matter to the supplier; he just complains and it costs a lot more.

You are naive if you believe that any cash receipt on your account is always your property. Errors happen and in such a case you have to refund.

Go ahead. You have to stand straight for the amount, not me.

Do you think he knows the difference between purpose and purposeless? Just let him experience; some people learn much better through pain, because through instructions.

That’s the intention, he knows it’s been double-refunded, he’s not coming out.

It doesn’t matter because you are certainly not the one who reads it, but since you are too involuntary to use a search engine: § 812 BGB
