I love my bank!

I received the following notice from them:

Sender: Commerce Bank

Subject: Refunded Payment - Verizon Wireless

Message: The check issued to this payee has not been presented for payment. A refund will be issued to your account within 2-3 business days. If you need further assistance, please contact customer service.

Payee Name: VERIZON WIRELESS

Payment Amount: $103.27

Payment Date: April 10 2006

I guess I somehow missed it balancing my checkbook (too busy with taxes, perhaps), but no complaints here!! Obviously, this could have happened anywhere, but for me, it reflects very well on my bank, too. (they're also open til 8pm and on Sundays!) And that's 100 bucks toward this year's higher bills due to overusage!

Isn't it odd that a corporate entity such as Verizon would manage to screw up and not deposit a consumer's check? As far as I know, they did not carry the charge over to the next bill. And if they did, it doesn't matter because I've still got an extra hundred bucks in my pocket.

That certainly made my day!
