I’m sorry if this doesn’t seem to be the right sub for this but we woke up today to a random $4000 in our account and we have no idea what to do. We checked our account in our bank’s app and it just says “PENDING ACH TRANSACTION $4,528.83” and nothing else. I’m thinking it probably isn’t a mistake of sorts, or it is. I’m really not sure how to process any of this. We’re currently struggling financially to the point that our accounts are completely empty after we pay all our bills and shop for necessities so this kind of money looks like some kind of miracle godsend to us. I was thinking maybe it was some kind of refund or financial aid but we have already received our refund and I haven’t even finished filing for my financial aid yet. Should I call our bank? Should I call the police? What do you even do with this kind of situation?
EDIT/UPDATE: Called bank, it’s a very late travel reimbursement from work (he’s military hence the massive delays lol) but good news is we are saving it, all in the name of personal finance. Thanks for all your help guys!
