A rookie mistake etc

November 5th, 2015 at 09:27 am

So I made a massive mistake last week: I missed a credit card payment. On the new card. Apparently, I obsessively check statements but not the date. I almost died when I seen it. After a few moments of panic, I decided to get in touch with them. I sent them a message pleading my case. Did I look desperate and pathetic? Yes. But I didn't care, I just wanted to know that I had tried my best to fix it.

They replied saying that they have refunded the late payment and that I was still keeping my zero percent deal. Phew. I was so worried I was going to lose out due to my mistake. From now on, I'm writing these things down.

I'm five days into attempting NaNoWriMo. It's been difficult to find some time. That plus the fact the only writing I do consistently is this blog.

I haven't started Christmas shopping yet. I really have to soon. Spoke to hubby and we're going to scale back on my cousin's kids presents. There's a bargain shop here that everyone raves about but I've yet to step inside. I might have to take a look.

What else?

Meals have been easy. That will be the theme for the rest of the month.

Found a new show: how the other half lives. It was interesting to watch.

    NaNoWriMo is tough, but dedication is key - just write for minutes at a time if you're struggling. It'll come to you Smile

    glad you took the time to contact the cc company - they are usually accommodating for a first offense. can you set up an automatic montly payment? i finally had to do that after missing many c.c. due dates and it's great not to think/worry about it anymore.

    Good news that they let you off the hook! We also do an automatic payment because remembering anything like that can be a challenge!

    I'm so glad the CC company worked with you! Do you know how to set up reminder emails? Or do you have a smartphone that you could set up automatic reminders on to check due dates, etc.?

    So glad they worked with you. Could you set up a reminder in your email or maybe get a text message from the credit card company?
