TriumphA few days ago we got a very nasty call from our credit card company. They claimed that we still owed them over one hundered dollars. This was news to me, seeing as I paid off the card in April, but they decided that we didn't pay it off after all.
My husband and I were discussing how we thought that it wasn't fair that we would have to pay these people more money, when we had specifically called to ask for the payoff amount before we sent the check. Since then, no statements have come, no phone calls saying "hey you still owe us money"... nothing. What could possibly stop them from just inventing some random charges to boost up everyones bill to owe a hundered dollars? That would line their pockets nicely.
I called that big bad ugly company today. I told them that it wasn't fair that we were penalized with all these charges for buying nothing and paying off the card. They said that my check had arrived to them a few days late... so they added a finance charge... Not fair! Then the charges kept compounding over the past four months because we didn't pay off that first one. So, I finally told them that I wouldn't pay the full amount, but that I would pay the first supposed late charge. To my astonishment, they accepted my terms! The credit card company did what I wanted them to! I won! Me, the little guy, I told them it wasn't fair, and they listened! Sometimes good things can come to those who complain!
