Her argument will be, Hey they screwed up, not me.

Well, there's a bit more grease on her slope penni. She contacted her bank, not the people who actually cut the check. All the bank would be in a position to do is check to verify whether they received a transfer of $8K to correspond to what she had in the account. They would probably not be in a position to determine whether the issuer of the check was making a mistake.

For example, if she had written letters to the pension fund, asking whether there was an error, and the pension fund had written back saying there was no mistake, then she probably would be in good shape, and probably a court would tell the pension fund to eat the mistake (although I think this does not work with the IRS unfortunately). But she did not do that. On the other hand, I advised the people who were supposed to bill me that there was an error, several times. If I had just simply called my credit card company and asked them whether they had forgotten to put it on my bill, that would be doing the same thing as she did.
