Money Issues
Well my bank, let's call it.... oh... WELLS FARGO, has no idea why it's giving $39 of my money to someone that they have no idea who it is. See, this happened last month too, and since I tend to trust banks, I figured they knew what they were doing and it must be a valid charge, but now that it's happened a Second Time, I called and got a very non-helpful man on the phone and he not only didn't know who they gave my money to - twice - his only solution was to credit my account back the $39.
Which will be fine if, you know, it's not a valid charge, but what if this is a bill that I'm paying monthly and just can't remember??? I don't want to be late on a bill because of this, but he just credited it out without asking me and then told me he couldn't change it, he would just leave it there.
I fucking hate Wells Fargo.
And I am ashamed to say that my movie passion is such that I was more freaked out by the possibility that this was my NetFlix payment and that Netflix might *gasp* cut me off from my movies(!!!!!) than I was worried about anything else. But I checked, and my NetFlix payment does say "NetFlix Payment" so I know it wasn't that.
But THEN.
I paid all my bills last month, and was very proud that I did that AND had exactly $9 left in my bank, but I noticed that the PGE payment hadn't cashed yet, $250 sent 3/17. Today I come home to a message from PGE saying to call by 8pm tonight, which means of course that they don't have my check. So I called, and it's not there yet, and the power gets shut off 3/29 if they don't receive it - I can give them a payment over the phone, but if they receive the check later then they'll cash that check too - only there won't be any more money left in the account for both payments. So we (me and pge) decided I would wait until Sunday and see if they have cashed it, then call and make a payment over the phone if they still don't have it, then I guess make the stop payment.
GRRRRR... Why can't the mail just deliver my payments and why can't the bank just figure out who has my money. *stamp*
