In November of 1998, I received a call from the billing department of a major electronics store. The woman wanted to know where my payment was.
I was astonished. "The payment isn't due until tomorrow, and as a matter of fact, the check is in the mail," I said. It was the truth. The check was in the mail.
She replied to the effect that they hadn't received payment yet, and that no further purchases could be made on the account -- which had an outstanding balance of about $1,600 at the time.
