More Money Stupidness!

Last night I was checking my bank account online and saw a check cleared for $10.00 but its check number was way out of sequence. I look it up in my Quicken and it's a check I wrote THREE YEARS AGO! Yep, September 25, 2006 but it never cleared so eventually I added it back into my balance.

So I called my bank today and they said they would put a stop payment on it at no charge. I'm surprised both banks even accepted it -- it's three years old!

The check was written to a singer/songwriter in Georgia for his CD. I got the CD. He never cashed the check. Ten dollars is not a big deal and I did legitimately write the check, but I can't be sure the signature on the back of the check is even his so I don't feel bad about stopping payment.

oh my goodness!! what are the odds lol! thats nuts, at least your bank is being super cool about it! and you would think he would have cashed it THREE years ago if he wanted the money that badly, i dont feel bad for him lol!
