I got to the bottom of the credit card flap thing morning.
In 2000, three years ago, my mutual fund says they sent me new checks and had me sign for them. This May, they stopped honoring the old checks. I've been using the old ones all along, so they could have told me I was headed for a tree.
Bottom line - they're wiring $5,000 into my checking account. They will waive any fees. Southwest's VISA will refund my bounced check fee and will wire $5,000 from my Wachovia checking account. Wachovia, an innocent bystander, will probably charge me to receive the wire transfer (and make a huge profit on it).
Is this chapter closed? It should be. It probably isn't.
