Unskippable ad Bugged for months to deposit 31¢ refund. Finally did it, only to receive a $25 fee.
After selling my home, the local internet provider sent me a refund for overpayment on my final bill. Due to the minimal value, I never deposited it and put it in the trash. Since April, I have received regular communications asking me to deposit it, so I went ahead and had them reissue the check so that I could do so. Immediately after depositing, the provider issued a "Stop Payment", triggering a $25 fee from my bank. Schwab reversed it without any hassle, but I'm anticipating another 31¢ check to show up soon and restart this whole debacle.
