Up-date On My Too Much Trouble To Be Bothered Discussion

Tweet

Sometime ago I did a discussion of how my grandmother/mother's former electric company account had a credit refund. I had asked them if I could claim it and they said I could provided I signed a name change affidavit, have that notarized, also send a notarized copy of my mother's death certificate, etc. Since it costs me $3.00 per document and it would cost me about $15.00 to get another death certificate of my mother it just wasn't worth the bother to claim the refund/credit since it was a mere $2.77...like sheesh Well I don't give up easily...I re-emailed them (twice) and asked them if they could accept a PDF file as an email attachment of a scanned copy of my mother's death certificate as proof of who I was and send the refund to me in my name. WEll--gollllly....I just got an email back from them...and guess what? They are sending me the credit refund check of $2.77 to me in my name and accepted the PDF file of the death certificate as proof Hip, hip, hooray! Okay not an enormous amount, can't get my Crystal Champagne with it...but it was the principle of the thing...glad I thought of sending that PDF file to them...heehee So have any of you had to "battle" the right for a refund, even though it was small amount and manage to do so, without a ton of costly notarized documented proof?
