confused!!!

[Amy Nunn]

If a company issues a check to the wrong person and waits about a month or so before calling it a mistake. Is the company entitled to collect the "mistaken" funds? However the party that recieved the "free money" contacted the company immediately only to be assured that it was indeed theirs. I would like to know if a company's lack of organization became beneficial to someone else, who is at fault? Can a company go through the legal system and hand it over to collections once the party is unable to return the "free money"?

The company can take any means necessary under the law to collect the funds which could include collection, judgement etc..
