I got a late notice on the mortgage for my condo...you know, the one I don't own anymore? The one where the title company told me not to make the April 1 payment because we were closing April 9 and it would get paid off before a late fee was triggered? Yep, that's the one.
I went online to check the balance. I can't believe I never checked the balance -- I had so many things going on that I just trusted the title company and assumed it was paid off. Nope, there's still a balance.
I emailed the title company asking what was up. I also told them I do not intend to pay a late fee, so they'll either need to pay it for me or work it out with the mortgage company.
I'm going to have to stay on top of them, as well as my credit report to make sure it doesn't suffer as a result.
I wish at least one thing would just work out the way it's supposed to without a bunch of extra work on my part. Isn't that why I pay these companies thousands of dollars?
Stressed and bummed. I feel like my day is ruined, but I will hopefully feel better soon.
Oh, I just got an email from them. "Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will check into this first this Monday morning and let you know once I have it resolved."
I hope they get it resolved with no late fee and no significant ding to our credit scores!
Nasty shock in the mail

My lesson from this: No matter how financially organized YOU are, you shouldn't go into financial ventures where you'll be cutting it close, because other people's negligence could shake things up. Also, check after everyone's work to make sure they did it, consistently and thoroughly.
