Has anyone had this experience? -
Normally I deposit my WM-bought MOs to a local credit union, but this time I made a stupid mistake of mailing them for my CC payment. At the time I had all the right "excuses" - I was far from the nearest CU branch, I had a CC bill for $1999.80 (almost $2000) and 2 x $1000 MOs in hand. So I thought - what's the harm? I'll make a copy of MOs, keep the stubs and just mail them.
In a few days, on my CC's website I noticed that only one out of two MO is posted as payment. Apparently, the machine that opens payment envelopes "lost" the other. I know the machine is designed for only two items - payment coupon and check/MO. But on a few occasions in the past I mailed 2 different checks for payment, and they were processed just fine.
For now my CC company issued a temporary credit while they are investigating, but what are the chances of them finding it? I think it might be in a shredder by now.
I understand I need to call Moneygram now...or WM where I bought the MOs?...
