Finally went outside to get the mail this morning. It being boxing day and all. Sadly I think UPS is still taking their sweet time with my replacement Hitachi HDD. In the mail though in addition to another 7 movies from Netflix, I received a statement from BofA for a credit card I cancelled a month ago. Apparently there was a periodic finance charge at some point after I already closed the account, who the hell knows. So I call up, go through their really stupid voice system, end up just saying customer service to get a human. The recording says their branch offices are closed on Monday and will be open tomorrow. I think crap, does this mean they’ll hang up now and I’ll have to call back tomorrow at work?

Nope, I get through, talk to the lady and just give my details, say that I received a statement today for an account I paid in full and closed a month ago. I let her discover the finance charge. She doesn’t say the amount or anything but just says I’ll go ahead and remove that to close the account out permanently. Fantastic, Ferris powers work again. This time to the tune of $7.33 . Sure it’s only seven bucks but under Corey’s Law no little amount goes unnoticed. It all adds up, hence why the Law continues to work.

Though besides the point, I’m curious why the finance charge was at the cash rates not the purchase rates since I’ve not done any cash advances or anything of the sort. Oh well.

Shame the same sort of things don’t happen with women I meet.
