Uh oh -- stuck transaction for 0.07 |
|
|
Short history; when Sam's club changed my Sam's club credit card to a
Discover card, I called to get the balance on the old card and paid
that. The balance that the telephone recording gave me was off by 7
cents from what I actually owed. Weird in itself (the statement came
the next day and showed the different amount).
When the card changed, Sam's transferred 7 cents owed to my new card.
So I owed Sam's Club Discover card 7 cents for several months. I hadn't
used the card, so I decided to pay the bill, since I really owed it.
Big mistake.
MS Money 2003 Standard: I went to send the payment (From the "Manage
Scheduled Bills and Deposits" screen, actually) by selecting Pay Online,
and I got a message from MSN Money rejecting the payment as being "below
the minimum for a payment" or some such (the actual text of the
rejection message doesn't show up in the online call summary).
But MS Money apparently thinks the payment sort-of was sent. Now the
entry is stuck in my checking account register, in italics, for 0.07
payable to Sam's Club Discover. I can't delete the transaction; when I
right-click it, delete is not a choice.
It doesn't have a check number OR anything in that column; it doesn't
say "Debit" or "EPay" or anything. And when I sent another epay to try
to clear it out, this entry did not show up as a choice to send to MSN
Bill Pay.
Am I right in thinking that there will be no way to get rid of this
thing, forever and ever, and I should go back to yesterday's online
backup of my Money file?
Has anyone else run across this? Is there some magic minimum amount for
MSN Bill Pay that I didn't know about? (I know that processing a 7 cent
payment might cost the banks more than 7 cents, but so would writing a
check, and it would cost me 37 cents postage...) Ugh.
If I go back to yesterday's file, should I enter the other epays that I
made today, or just let them show up when they clear my bank?
Thanks for any help or just commiseration. (Actually, I think Money 2003
might be the sweet spot -- it was before the ton of ad junk showed up in
the product!)

I had the same problem... I just went to the "accounts & bills"and deleted the item there, then went back to the bank account register and deleted the item there also... worked for me
