As he told the story the guy that changed the tire wouldn't accept any form of payment for his good deed except that he send his (the good citizen's) wife some flowers. The flower's didn't come right away, in fact it was a couple of days later. When the flowers did come they held a note that simply said your home mortgage has been paid in full, thank you.

How nice!

i would say its been posted to the wrong account. someone else is going to be royally screwed over when they see they are behind on their bill...

I am thinking - is there a breach in privacy/confidentiality? Some one paying your bill and them not telling you who - who else has access to your account? Could this be the start of idenity theft? Don't want to cause alam but these are my thoughts. I would want answers not a generic I can't tell you that. Ask to speak with a supervisior/manager go up the chain if you have too.

I totally agree.

Hopefully, this was a really good friend or family member doing a nice thing, BUT....you have to wonder....???

I would also think that they would have to answer ANY question you have regarding your account. It is, after all, yours.

MeganS · 07-27-2008, 05:25 PM

Could it be the parents of the kids you babysit? I know that they're tight on money, but it may be something special they just wanted to do for you so they put some aside.

If not, I agree with Sammiz and LeosMama, get it checked out. Go furthur.

I hope it was someone doing something nice for you, but a few months ago, my dh went to pay our Verizon bill and they took his check, ran it thru and returned it (like they always do) and he left, assuming it had been posted. Not too long afterward I think his phone was shut off and he found out that it was b/c he supposedly hadn't paid the bill....so he talked to them, they turned the phone back on, he went down to show them the receipt and sure enough, the phone number they'd posted it to was the same number but a different area code(it was on the receipt)~ it took awhile to get it cleared up too....sometimes they're almost more trouble than they're worth. I'm glad they keep track of things better than my dh does

Yes, it was DUG...kind of creepy though as to how he found out your "secret" pin. Wonder what else his snooping turned up.

linz06 · 07-29-2008, 02:32 PM

Could it have been a mistake? I know here at work my company has accidently paid random peoples' cell phone bills a few times lol. We'd get the wrong account number and not recognize the name (or not even look... we're getting bigger so not everyone is even known anymore) and the managers would sign off on it, send it to accounting, and it would be paid. Then after a few months someone will say "hey wait a minute... who IS this person??"

Let us know if you ever figure it out!!
