I went christmas shopping and now everyone opened there gifts and christmas is over, but I didnt realize a check had been deposited in my account but that money was supposed to be given to my cousin from a favor that she did and I spent it on my christmas shopping and I seen it in my account summary today, I didnt realize it had even came through, and now my cousin is calling me harrasing me with mean voicemails because she thinks im trying to keep it and that never was my intention, im scared to tell her what should i do?

How did you get stuck in the middle of this and who got hold of you account number? Seems like the money should have gone to your cousin directly, instead of going through you. She sounds like a psycho.
Whatever the case may be just pay her the cash and get her out of your life. You may want to consider getting a new account. This time keep better watch over it.

Keep better track of your finances and pay your cousin back before paying any other bills. Don't avoid her... just call her and tell her your situation. By the way, your cousin has a right to "harass" you. She did you a huge favor and she deserves to be paid back now. If you were considerate, you would not have "mistakenly" bought gifts for other people with what is basically HER money.

why not tell her what happened and make a plan to pay her back. Accidents and mistakes do happen but it would be nice if you told her instead of acting like a three year old and hiding from the situation. IF you noticed it today (according to your post) and she started calling you today, it is kinda early for her to be 'harrassing you' just sounds like she wants and deserves an explanation.
She might not like it but at least she will respect you for being a woman about the situation and you will respect yourself by making a real plan to pay her back as much money as you can afford each month until it is paid off. I would pay by money order too since she could take you to court!

You can start by paying them any amount regularly, even if it is $1.00. This let's them know you care and are trying. You could offer to work it off somehow. Everyone has work they need done around their house, cleaning, babysitting, etc. Try to work it out with them. Do not fight about it. Remain calm. Do what is right. Pay them back by any means possible. ALWAYS document your payment to them in writing and have them sign it, so you both have a record of the agreements.

If you'd be honest about it and let her know then you wouldn't be harassed wouldn't be scared. What's done is done. Just tell her when you will pay her and keep your word!! NEVER borrow money from a family member!!!

pay her back & keep a closer watch on your bank account. Only spend what you have.......Everyone makes mistakes I'm sure she will understand if you explain - but do it while repaying her!

Suck it up and tell her. Your a big girl. Act like it. Pay it back when you can. Even if it is in installments.
HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY!!!
