Oh Frabjous Day!

[Suu]

Oh yeah, the bank domino effect has begun. Christmas = Over. This is the shit suicides are made out of. And I can't do ANYTHING until I get details on who/what this check is for. I already ordered the check image, now I need to see wtf is going on.

[Suu]

Update:

The "check" is actually an unauthorized draft from Cox who are trying to say that my payment to them last month bounced, which it didn't, I'm looking at it right now on my bank statement, so they're trying to charge me fees, but instead of applying it to my bill, they're attempting to pull it out of my account without permission, so it caused a change reaction, and now I'm overdrawn. I hate them. I hate banks, I hate technology. This is bullshit and someone is going to be fired by the end of the day for this.

Is Cox the student loan company?

[Suu]

It's Rhode Island's cable company. From what I understand, Comcast is worse, so I don't know if I should be thankful or not.

Um ::holding finger in the air::

Withdrawing unauthorized monies from your account is a federal offense, punishable by law. If you did not authorize them to take money from you the bank has to retract their overdraft fees, refund you for the amount paid to Cox and go after them for fraud.

BTW:
Repeat after me---

I WANT TO PRESS CHARGES





(This costs you nothing, the bank sues, they get their money, you get yours everyone wins ['cept Cox])

Yes. VERY yes.

They aren't being very helpful though. Well, my bank has been nothing but awesome, but they have to investigate into if I did in fact authorize Cox to pull these "check bounce fees" out of my account if there's an offense. Cox is basically saying that even though the check was paid, it didn't go through on the first attempt (uhh...yeah it did. Hi! Let me fax you my statement rite hurr...) and that it's in my service agreement that fees are paid this way.

So I asked them to email me or link me to the service agreement online so I can read it. I have yet to receive a response. Offices close at 3. I'm taking Monday off to work on my projects ANYWAY, so I hope they like calls the minute the phones go on.

Meanwhile, my account is frozen through the weekend. I have next to no food in my house, and $10 left on a prepaid debit card. *sigh*

This is going to take months, over $25.

TO THE WALL.

Ouch, Suu.


Also, this.

Suu, if I could send you some Abreva, I totally would--but it would be too damned late and the blister will have erupted by then.  Bella swears by ice cubes to kill the cold sore, though...

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

My new house is adjacent to a golf course.  I'm 80' up, and 45 degrees off the fairway, and I've been picking up 2 golf balls a day as I move in.

Send them back.  With the rail gun.  Use small steel food cans for a sabbot.

Actually, we're going to collect all we can, until the spring tourney.  When the first ball lands on the fairway, we're going to use my old wrist-rocket to flood the fairway with balls.

I like this.

[Suu]

I can do ice. I want to stop this thing before it erupts. I don't have the $ for Abreva, but I have used it before and it's like Mouf Herp Magic!

I just got a phone call a few minutes ago, "I'm calling to tell you that a guy is coming to fix our hot water heater. That way, maybe the bus will get fixed, and your bank will get fixed, and your canker sores will just disappear!"

Well, that's one down, right?

Suu, you got your days mixed up--you're supposed to be having a TGIF day, not a Monday.    Hope your stuff got salvaged!!

Rog, the hilarity bound to ensue from your new place is going to make some damned good fodder!  I look forward to hearing about it! 

Today's a great day--but then every day since Tuesday's been fucking peachy keen.  Y'all are gonna be SICK TO DEATH reading about how glad I am for how this week has gone.

Hee hee. 

It's weird how your dad got out of jail and mine is going in. Like someone from PD has to have a dad in jail at all times.

I get the sense that the court system has been a lot kinder to my dad than yours though. Probably because he's got the Alzheimers. I don't think he's gonna make it out... he's had too many health problems and he's fucking old. I didn't even know we HAD Alzheimers in our family.

I am very sad to hear all this about your dad, Nigel--I was sad to read about it in Open Bar.  Is there any way a lawyer can ask for house arrest instead?
