I was sooooo excited about paying off my last student loan

[luckyval]

Sent in the check last week, even added "blood suckers" in the memo line for them

Then they called me and said I had an overdue amount of 17 cents

[tacocat]

That sucks, I can't wait for that day! One of the ladies I work with had her bank call her because her mortgage check was short $.26. I don't understand why they can't just let those amounts go.

I'm sorry but this made me LOL - I mean they couldn't just write that off?!?! Or maybe it's a penalty charge of insults? Damn student loan people with no humor!

[goaskalice]

I literally just snorted at blood suckers on the memo line. Classic

[pedanticwench]

They spent more than 17 cents contacting you about it. Idiots.

[luckyval]

I just wanted to jump up and down on the phone screaming DIE ALREADY!!!

I told the person after I gave them my debit card info that I sincerely hope I never hear from them again. She did chuckle at that

[looseseal]

Congrats on paying off your loan! We had to request a reimbursement from someone for an approximately $10 amount that shouldn't have been paid to them. She sent in the check with the memo of 'you're fucking ridiculous.' lol

Bloodsuckers indeed.

[moolarkey]

I know - I know - I'm veering off topic but looseseal reminded me of how my day started yesterday. The Assistant Director of the library at a major Theological Seminary said he wanted a link he could click on his "fucking web page."

I've talked to others that have worked with him/talked to him. They said he's the most foul-mouthed person they've ever talked to. Must make his institution really proud.

[open24hours]

Send them 17 pennies.

[aprilsails]

Sorry about the 17 cents but Congratulations! I threw a party when I finished paying mine off. Best feeling ever.

Bank | USA | Awesome Customers, Money, Top


(I’m a bank teller at a large national bank. A customer in her mid-twenties comes up to my till.)

Me: “Welcome to [bank name]! How can I help you today?”

Customer: “Yeah, can I find the total amount I owe for my student loans?”

Me: “Sure, what is your full name?”

(She gives me her name, and I give her the amount owed. It is a fairly large amount.)

Customer: “Perfect!”

(With a large smile, she hands me a cashier check from another bank, for the exact amount, totally paying off all loans she has with this bank. I enter the info, and print her receipt. I quickly run to the back to see my manager.)

Me: “Can I give this customer a couple of the promotional items that we usually give to people that open checking accounts?”

(My manager see the amount that she is paying, and that this means the customer has totally paid off the loans.)

Manager: “You can give her whatever you want!”

(I grab some items, and bring them back up to the till.)

Me: “Congratulations on paying off all your loans. Here’s your receipt, and a few gifts for paying off such a large loan amount.”

Customer: “Thank you very much! What I’m about to say has nothing to do with you; you are a great person, and thank you very much for the free gift. So, just go with everything I’m about to do.”

Me: “…Okay?”

(She holds up the receipt above her head, and speaks in a loud voice.)

Customer: “Ha! Six years ago I sold my soul to this bank! But after going through the nine circles of hell, I have finally gotten free of it! I now owe you nothing, zip, zero, nada! I am free; no more bills, payments, fees, nothing. I’M FREEEEEEE!”

(Even as she walks out the doors, she’s yelling and dancing. The dozen or so other customers and workers watch her the whole time. Another customer speaks loud enough so just about everyone can hear him.)

Customer #2: “Raise your hand if you wish you could do that.”

(Just about everyone else in the bank raises their hand.)
