My boss had accidentaly deposited someones payroll check into my checking account for over $1,900. I came to find out my account only had $1400 in it. We agreed over the phone that i'll write a check for her for $1200. I checked my account later and found out she withdrawn the $1900 without even telling me!! That's an overdrawn of $500 that I have to replace on my next check, which I don't have. What can I do here? You think I should had kept the money? How can this be fixed. And I have bills that is on hold that has not been paid yet.

You may not be telling the whole story.
If your boss deposited 1900 that wasn't yours, why was there only 1400 in the account?
If you spent it, then the problems created were created by you, and you have to deal with it. If they really didn't deposit that much, that's another matter altogether.

It depends on the automatic deposit agreement that you had with your employer; most have a clause where if a mistake has been made they legally can debit your account for the amount of the mistake.
If a credit in error, then reversal of the same left your account in an overdraft status, then they have no liability as you are responsible, you are.

I would contact your bank and explain to them that you had written a check for $1200 not $1900. They will pull it up and see if it has been changed.

I had a similar situation...my bank deposted my money into an account of a person with the same name as me...(by accident)..I wrote a check to my mortgage company, and, then found i had insufficent funds...
let me tell you I hit the roof!!
think of the other person, it is their money...think, that they have to pay bills, and write checks.
it took me weeks to fix this...so, look at what a problem this caused everyone...
god bless

no one can take money out of your account without your permission. The bank can be held responsible for letting her take the money. If your boss made the mistake in the first place you need to talk to him to help straighten it out.

How can your boss withdraw money from your account? Is this in the US? If so , you're working in a very strange environment.

If the money was accidentally deposited in your account, she has the right to correct her mistake. You shouldn't have spent money that wasn't yours.
