Are we talking about this legally or ethically?nileskramer wrote: ↑ Sorry if Im beating a dead horse, just trying to clarify the distinction in my head between legality and ethics. I won't accept the ethical argument of "you got overpaid, so pay them back". Its not that black and white to me and many other factors involved. I'm shocked to think some people on here would just blindly accept that is always the case.
Legally, you need to pay back money that isn't yours.
Ethically, well its up to however YOU feel. You created this thread to ask for confirmation that you've done the right thing, but no one is agreeing with you, yet you still try to rationalize your decision.
If "three figures" means that much to you that you'd rather fight this out, then just wait for them to send you a collection letter.
