It is a universally accepted truth…

April 30th, 2008 · 3 Comments

That an entity which owes you money is slower at getting you said money than getting your money.  I’m presently waiting for three fairly sizeable refunds-an overpayment on my auto loan from when I refinanced, a refund from my insurance company due to an surcharge appeal, and my stimulus check.  None have arrived.

I got a letter two weeks ago from the former lienholder on my car.  As I thought there was a slight overpayment, when I got the letter from them, I figured that there’d be some word about the overpayment.  No  word.  I called them, check’s going out this Friday…3 weeks after the account was paid off.

To be fair, the lack of check from the insurance company is not their fault-the DMV has yet to tell them my surcharge was appealed.  However, I am somewhat annoyed it’s taken the DMV that long to tell them.

My lack of stimulus check frustrates me because because I am frugal, I owed on my taxes this year.  Had I upped my deductions, I would probably have had it deposited by now.  Grr.

    :) I so know the feeling. I am anxiously waiting a few checks too. I can’t wait to get them so that I can apply them towards my car loan (I really want to pay it off this summer).

    I was wondering why I haven’t received our stimulus check yet, but I realized that I still haven’t sent in our signature form for our taxes. That baby is going out today for sure! I can be such a moron!
