ARRGH of the day
As it was told to my sister on gchat:
me: SPORK SPORK SPORK
Sister: lol
me: a small carnival of errors has cost me 29 bucks in a stop payment fee
Sister: whaaa?
me: I paid my rent, as usual, on the day it was due
my checks still have the old address on them, but I wrote the current address on the envelope. And then we went upstairs to the office because we had to tell them about a drain that was running slow
so I mentioned, "Hey, my check has the old address but I wrote the right one on the outside of the envelope. We cool?"
they agreed that we were cool.
I forget about this.
Two days ago, I get a "we didn't get your rent check pay up loser" letter
I panic
I assume it's because horrible old landlady has chosen now to cash an old rent check from July
and that somehow my overdraft didn't kick in and the check bounced or something
I drive to the office at nine at night and drop off a new check, and phone them the next day and say, "I dropped off a check please don't evict me OMG"
Today...my old check clears.
I call up and they say that they saw the old address on the check, so they sent it to the new landlord of that property, who rightly went WTF and mailed it back
they figured it out and deposited the check, but by that point they had already sent me the letter and I had dropped off the second check
which I had to call the bank and put a stop on.
I have no pithy or witty ending to this story. However, I'm glad it's all frickin' resolved and that I haven't had to threaten anyone with bodily harm to get it done.
