A small glitch in the day....
About 2 hours before I am supposed to leave on my trip to Germany, I get a little e-mail fromthe Erste Bank people. They said that my account was 158 Euro in thenegative.... I almost fainted right there. I knew this couldn't beright, because I haven't even used that account in over a month, and thelast time I used it, I still had money. --- something was fishy. Not wanting to leave this unresolved over the weekend (I don't want worries on my trip!), I jetted down to the bank and got them to print me out a list of all transactions. Surely enough, there was a 235 Euro debit forthe November rent for Haus Erasmus. But this shouldn't have been, because I have paid all of the rent in cash so far. They had charged me TWICE! Jerks. -- So, I asked if this charge could be taken off and themoney put back in. The debit was over a month ago (and they hadn'talerted me until today) but they said there was nothing they could dopast 20 days of the charge. SO, I ran back to the Haus Erasmus officeand nicely demanded for them to put 235 Euros in my little hand so thatI could to pay the balance on my account..... they checked the books and did! -- I just kept thinking... what would mom do... freak out - NO, she would get things fixed.So, everything is dandy, the account is fixed.... no thanks to Haus Erasmus and Erste bank..... AUSTRIANS! sheesh.
