<prompt> Human: I was checking something in my account today and noticed a check for 190. So I clicked on the check image because I wasnt sure what it was. The check was written for 100 to a cleaning service, but my middle zero was sloppy and if you stared at it hard enough you might see a 9 the part where you right the amount in English clearly says one hundred. So Im not sure what to do. I dont want to be a jerk and call this nice lady and ask her for 90 or for 90 of free work because its so old. So Im tempted to eat it. If I call her, what should I say? Is going through the bank the right move? Edit: picture of the check: UPDATE: I called her today to discuss this, shes really nice and we like her a lot, so I didnt want to push it and demand money back. I just wanted to know if she had any idea what had happened or had noticed the issue. Unfortunately she batches checks for a week so its like 20 checks and she likely would not have noticed. On her records she noted that we paid 100 and offered to call her bank to investigate. However since its been so long I decided to drop it. Technically I could probably waste her time and mine and get the 90 back but its not worth it.Two lessons learned: Be way more careful with handwriting on checks. Check your bank statements more closely.  <response>: clearly, you have the ability to correct the issue, you notify your bank and they will retract 90 from the depositor.but of course that could cause your cleaning person some financial hardship if they are on a tight budget. You could talk to them and ask if you can claim that as a prepayment, or you can ignore it entirely and call it a christmas bonus.Personally, if they are a private person that does a good job, Id go for the latter, just not worth it to me to hurt her for it. If its a corporation maid service, Id notify the bank and let them get the money back because it wont specifically damage anyone.
