Quiver0f10 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I am like waaaah? :saywhat: So I call the company and the guy is like what is the account #, which I couldn't find :confused: He tells me it should be 15something or other. Then I got it! They have the account # as the balance, complete with the $ sign LOL- $1,545,732.00 and the balance of 90.61, writen without the $ sign, as the account #. He pulled it up on his computer and we both got a good laugh LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Are you sure you didn't go on a curriculum shopping spree? (That would buy a fair chunk of the Rainbow Resource catalog!) Prices are going up all over .... Glad to hear it was a false alarm. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMCassandra Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Whoa. I'm sure that the adrenaline from THAT one went a lot further than one's typical morning coffee . . . Yowza. I'm glad you got that one straightened out quickly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 LOL, once we realised what was wrong we all got a good laugh. I am sure the look on my face must of been hysterical when I saw the amount though :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFSinIL Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Thank goodness you got a live person on the phone who also saw the problem! I had a similar occurrence in college, when the IRS said I owed about $12,000 - every penny I had MADE the previous year. I lucked out and got a sensible person on the phone, too, who agreed it was a ridiculous error! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie in Oh Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Glad it was a mistake. We had a similar mistake today made. We got a message from a debt collector today. I was like, "What the heck?" :001_huh: So I called. Seems like it was for someone who used to have our number. Whew. I didn't think we had a ny bills going to collections. My goodness. :svengo: I about had a heart attack. They were very nice and said that they would take the number out so they wouldn't call anymore. Whew.

Dinsfamily Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 You might have to frame that one!! We got a $10,000 water bill about 2 years ago and I was in a bit of shock for a few minutes. Thankfully, it took about 10 mins to fix on the phone as well. I can't imagine getting a bill for 1.5 million!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
