Finally found out exactly what that Amex charge is and it looks like it is fraudulent - emergency funds provided in November, somehow. Yay! I don't have to pay it and I don't have any additional worries about H compromising his ethics in his final month. That was bothering me more than the money, frankly, it is great to have that burden gone. And everyone at Amex was so pleasant to deal with in figuring all that out, such a treat.

I do still have the final ambulance bill to pay - it just came like last week. They sent me a bill back in June, but at that time I just gave them our insurance information. As I recall, the total they are billing me for now is a lot lower than that initial bill, so that's good, but it's not pocket change. Hm, I wonder if I can count that as a medical expense for 2010. At any rate, I hope that once I get that paid I'll be done with these unexpected expenses from the past and can just deal with the inevitable unexpected expenses of the future as they arise and maybe get a handle on exactly what my expected expenses are.

Speaking of expected expenses, BofA still won't let me pay my mortgage - I don't know if they are under attack or what, but first I couldn't log in at all (just got a message saying they had technical difficulties and couldn't provide services at that time) and now I can see my account overview but not do anything. This has been a few days already. I've got a week or so grace period, still, so I am not worried about it but I have to remember that it's not paid - I pay on the first every month like clockwork so I don't have to think about it the rest of the time

Chase is screwing us.

Now, the only reason we have a Chase account at all is because ages ago we had an account with the internet only bank Wingspan, and that was great. Then Bank One bought Wingspan and that sort of sucked, but not enough to make me go through the hassle of opening a new account somewhere else. And then Chase bought Bank One, and I figured that would just be more of the same.

The we moved to California. Where Chase has no branches. So we opened a checking account at a credit union where I've had a savings account forever and shifted all the automatic payments I could remember having, left a couple hundred dollars in the Chase account for those that slipped through the cracks and more or less forgot about it. Which was all irresponsible, I know. And resulted in getting a little overdrawn. But I did find out which autopays I still had to change, and changed them. Henry took on the job of calling Chase and arranging an electronic check for the outstanding balance and closing the account. Which he did early last week.

Today we get a call from Chase - they apparently didn't put that payment in until the day after we made it, charged us another $5 meanwhile, and have continued to charge us $5/day since because they didn't close the account when they said they would and how would we like to pay that $50?

Bah.

I think it's getting sorted out, but it is so fucking annoying.
