Should the bank refund me if they made the mistake?

I went to my bank to get check to pay my rent for the month. The bank accidentally gave me a check from an account which was closed over 5 years ago instead of my active account. I didn't notice the account number on the check. So I used that check to pay the rent, but the check bounced because it was from a closed account. Now the apartment company billed me $140 because of the bounced check. Should the bank have to cover that $140 bill because they are the one's that made the mistake with the check?


Will paying off a credit card account closed by the grantor raise your credit score?

No but if you pay it off before it becomes delinquient it won't hurt it either. WRONG! speaking from experience, yes. if the account is NOT charged-off, but listed as CLOSED, it will raise your score if you lower or pay off the balance. I have a closed (NOT charged-off) CC that had a balance of 2400 and I made a payment of 1700. once posted to my reports, they were raised an average of 37 points. A few weeks later i paid off another closed CC, it was a small payment of 183 which satisfied the account (zero balance). Once posted, 17point increase! I pay close attention to my reports and use several monitoring websites, so i know there were no other changes that contributed to the increase other than the payments mentioned. people on the net are correct about paying off/down a CHARGED-OFF (collections) account will not raise your score. But, a closed account is completely different! Hope this helps
