Well, all is ok here… I mean I’m alive and everyone is well… lol. As far as the small stuff that’s another story. Let’s see…here’s the story:
Dec 31st, 2007: Payroll was processed at the company I work for. This means in 10-14 day I will have my paycheck deposited into my account. Now… I have been working with this company for about a year and unless for some unseen circumstance happens it is always there BY the 10th day after it is processed.
Jan 9th, 2008: I have no paycheck deposit in my account. That’s ok I still have another day…
Jan 10th, 2008: I had a migraine and didn’t even et out of bed and never checked on things.
Friday Jan 11th, 2008: My daughter is planning on going to Jr/Sr Banquet and today is the last day to pay for tickets. Well it’s the 11th and I am assuming that my check should be there and even if it does go as far as the 14th day that would be Monday and the check that I write to the school will not make it there before my paycheck gets deposited. Fair assumption?? Ok.. this was my first error and yes I know what happens when you assume…lol I write the check and send her and my son off to school, log into my bank account… NOPE still not there. Check my email………
PANIC TIME!!!
On Fri Jan 10th, 2008 I received an email that read:
“We recently transitioned our accounts payable system from Company A to Company B at the beginning of 2008. As such we have encountered an unexpected delay in processing payables for the period ending 12/31/07. This issue will be resolved shortly with payment being issued by the end of next week. Those who were previously enrolled in direct deposit will continue to receive payment via direct deposit and those not enrolled in direct deposit will continue to receive payment via check (no action is needed on your end).
WTF?!?!?!
Ok… I’ll give them a chance to recoup and hopefully it will just be a day or two before all this ends….
I wait a few days and yep… the check I wrote to the school has now come in and bounced. Ok… My Bad… that was my fault I didn’t have the money there and I wrote the check anyway. So I’m watching my account to see if it’s going to get re deposited and yep… there it goes again. Ok… I should be safe it went through twice right?
Jan 15th, 2008: I got hit with another NSF fee for another “check” that was attempted to be debited.
Jan 17th, 2008: I hit a curb and blew out my front passenger tire and bent the rim…. That’s going to cost me!!
Jan 18th. 2008: Another NSF Fee for yet another “check” that was attempted. I also received an email from the payroll dept after I bugged them that said:
“We still do not have a date set as to when payments will be sent out. We are hoping to have further information the first part of next week. Thanks”
Now I’m thinking the school is really wanting to get this check to go through because I have never seen 4 times for a check to be tried. Now mind you every time I receive an NSF fee it is $36! I am now $144 in the hole because I was basically at $0 when all this started (from X-mas shopping).
Jan 24th, 2008: I GOT PAID!!! YAY!!! (No that didn't bring me out of the negative) Now what my question is to them is this… payroll is processed on the 15th and the 31st (30th) of the month…. It is now the 24th… what about the paycheck that was supposed to come any day now??? So I wrote them an email… I got no response.
Jan 25th, 2008: I looked at my bank account and there was a pending debit for $25 on my account. PANIC! I searched through all my receipts and checkbook stubs and NOWHERE did I find anything that I did that would have been $25. So I called my bank. It’s my PAYROLL DEPT!!! also to top things off the debits that were made on the 15th and the 18th were ALSO from my payroll dept!! SO I called my payroll dept and hmmmm… no answer! I emailed…..no answer! Ok… It’s Friday…maybe they left early….It’s 3-4pm here and they are in Utah… ok maybe lunch. I tried to call later and the same thing… just rings to voice mail. I’m getting a little ticked off now….I’ll wait over the weekend.
Jan 27th, 2008: I’m driving back from this Charlotte where I was doing a job for this company that I just LOVE so much right now and BLAMO… the car dies in the street!! I coast to the edge of the road and try to start it… nothing. Ok.. I don’t know a lot about cars but I know enough to say it was the alternator. Also we just had to change the battery just before Christmas. So I’m on the edge of the road in a dead car about 30 miles from home and hubby is in Saginaw working. Isn’t life grand??!?!?! I got a friend to drive me home left the car overnight and hubby went to get it the next day and towed it to the school so my son could work on it. We don’t pay for labor and he gets the education for his auto tech class… works for me!
Jan 28th, 2008: YAY!! My second payroll check was deposited!! Now I’m not as much in the negative as before…lol.
Through the week I tried to get a hold of someone in the payroll dept.. no answers, ringing busy, no answers to my emails….I’m really pissed at this point.
Feb 1st, 2008: YET ANOTHER debit for $25 was attempted from my account!!!!!!
Today I called the bank and asked them what I could do to stop all this and the best I can do is to issue a rebuttal against all 4 of the times they tried to debit from my account. I am severely in debt on my account right now and I’m afraid to put ANY kind of money in it or they may try and take that too! I have a car that is still in the shop because we have had snow days for the school and my son hasn’t been able to get in to work on it enough. I’m just sooooo tired of being in this position!!
But otherwise everything is fine and the day to day is all I take it for right now.
