CHECK WAS IN MAIL, BUT!!

      I haven't pulled the "old check Switcheroo trick" for maybe a couple of decades. Like most people I make out checks to various creditors the first of the month. And, there a few that I do now pay online, etc. 

       Also, I am very systematic when it comes to bill paying, but, this time I just flat out messed up. I finally got a hold of an "actual- live" person and discussed what I had done. I did put some of the guilt on JC Penney as they cashed a check that was not made out to them, but, in this case,  Mediacom. 

       I made sure when I actually got a hold of an actual person that I made it very clear to not transfer me to a "specialist" and not any situation where I get another automated voice, etc.  Hopefully I will get a check back from JC Penney in some amount--who knows! The good news is that if I don't do this again for a few decades, I won't be around anyway!
