What Are These?

Friday, July 23, 2010

Okay, the answer's obvious, but...

What do you do when you find you have $126 extra in your account? You look to see what's missing, of course, and find that the bill you paid yesterday is not in pending or anything. So you call the bank, and they say there's nothing on their end, that the company must have released the hold on the funds for some reason and that you should contact them. You contact the company to find out that your account is in good standing and all is well, and that the payment posted.

So what do you do?

Well, I'm not spending the money at this point, that's for sure. For it is surely a snafu that will be eventually remedied, and I don't want it being taken out unexpectedly.

Still, it's funny when you tell someone there's money that should be theirs sitting in your account and all they say is, no everything's fine on our end, you might want to talk to your bank.

At least it didn't get lost in the aether so that neither they nor I have it. This is the drawback to electronic bill pay, of course. :)

That's two strange financial snafus that have not been my fault (the other was being overpaid at work and the subsequent repayment out of next cheque). Hope there won't be a third.
