If you received a direct deposit into you bank account from your former employer after you have been fired and believe that there was an error in the deposit, you should contact the human resources department about the perceived error and follow up the call with a written letter and/or e mail about it keeping a copy for future reference and need.
You then wait to see what the reply is to your inquiry. The last thing you want is to make it appear that you are being dishonest.
