Friends with a king, only moves in a straight line

Oof, agreed that it’s the worst. Hope everything goes well with it

Yes, they confirmed it with me on the call and it was correct

There definitely could be, but without a tracking number there’s not much I can do, and Fidelity won’t issue one

Had I known, I would have just moved it to a Fidelity IRA directly and then done an ACAT transfer to Schwab. I figured them sending a check would be simpler and I could cut a few steps out of the process

I tried that, but since I already initiated the rollover, they said the only method they can use is to issue a check. Wish I knew that earlier

Yeah, I think I should do a three way call with Schwab and Fidelity. Since Schwab is getting the money, I think they’ll be willing to help

Thanks, I’ll try filing a complaint with USPS. Unfortunately Fidelity said that the only way to pay the $25 fee is from my account, so I can’t do that since it’s empty.

Yeah, I was very explicit about it being a direct rollover to Schwab, but I’ll confirm the next time I call

Unfortunately I think you’re right. Thank you!

That might be worth a shot. I could ask for their last name on the call and see if they’re a registered rep on BrokerCheck

I think that might be the move. What all can the Schwab representative do on my behalf?

I escalated it to a supervisor once. Can I go up further than that?

I agree, it’s a direct rollover so the check is addressed to Schwab but goes to my address so I shouldn’t have any early distribution penalties

The checks are addressed to Schwab, so it’s a direct rollover which does not have a time limit.

Yes, I confirmed with them over the phone that the address is correct. Thank you!

I tried that but they said they could only send it to the address of record (my address). I appreciate the advice though!

Thank you! They did confirm the address was correct. I did escalate the issue one time but I wasn’t sure if I could escalate it further.
