Hi

Just a note to my other post. If you have credited your bank account
with the money by mistake - make another transaction in your bank
account and transfer (deduct) and credit your debtors (asset) account.

At some point it will cost you money to recover that debt (asset) legal
fees court fees which are an expense. You might employ a debt (asset)
recovery company to get the value of your goods and services back for a fee.

Regards,

David
