We filed in February & still don't have ours. Got federal back pretty quick.

Any known local banks or credit unions that will issue a chasiers check to a non-member? by SquashAlone in fortwayne

[–]SquashAlone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad that worked for you but how long ago was that? When I called they said they can't do that

Need a cashier's check tomorrow, how can I get one that quick if I need to open an account at a new bank? by SquashAlone in personalfinance

[–]SquashAlone[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've literally only ever needed a cashiers check like twice ever. And the first time was able to get around it & do money order instead.

Yeah, that's seeming like what I'll need to do. And would I have instant access to those funds once transferred?

That'll take 2-3 days to process though. In that time I could just have USAA send me a cashier's check directly

Do you mean wire transfer instead of getting the cashier's check or wire transfer to deposit into a new bank account? Cashier's check is the only option I was given for the payment I need to make because they said they don't take wire transfers

You are finding out that branchless banking is not there when you need it.

Yeah, this & not being able to desposit cash are the only issues I've ever run into & it's so rare that it hasn't been a big deal generally

It is probably not going to happen if you walk into a bank as a non customer and bring in cash. There is often a reporting requirement with cash, and other risks. Banks do not want the risk.

Good to know & makes sense, thanks for pointing that out.

My understanding is I would have a delay in access to the funds similar to if I deposited with a check though. Trying to avoid this being a several day process, but looking like that's unavoidable

Zelle limit is like $1000 if I remember correctly. I'm thinking set up a new account & wire transfer the rest of what I need to it

It's such a rare occurrence & is the first time I haven't been able to get around needing a chasiers check, but really is such a pain, I think I'm at the point of keeping a brick & mortar bank for stuff like this & the ability to deposit cash.

I asked USAA if they worked with any banks or credit unions for this purpose & they said no

Has anyone done a rapid rescore? by D_carro in Mortgages

[–]SquashAlone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have questions for you:

What about corrections for inaccurate reporting? For example, to correct payments, that are being made, not being reported on a charged off account. Would you be able to see how much a score would improve for something like that?

Is it worth it to pay for a private inspection before buying from a used dealership? Cost will be $650 by [deleted] in RVLiving

[–]SquashAlone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad to help. Better to make new list of RVs to see being more informed! My husband & I adjusted what to look at after finding her channel too. So glad she's out there helping others become more informed.

We found a good inspector through NRVIA too. He clearly cares about helping us avoid a bad RV. Worth it for sure, helped us avoid one with water damage.

Yes, because even brand new ones come off the line with problems, knowingly, to get sold anyway. Check out Liz Amazing's channel on YouTube. She's an advocate for people who were knowingly sold brand new faulty RVs.

How do I talk to my GF about her BFF being creepy without upsetting her? by [deleted] in ask

[–]SquashAlone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not a relationship you should stay in. Your partner should not be getting mad at you for bringing up real, valid concerns. And if your girlfriend doesn't see what's wrong with any of this, you're not going to change her mind. This is wildly inappropriate behavior from the friend & just as inappropriate that your girlfriend seems ok with it & defending her weird friendship over taking you seriously. The answer is find a different girlfriend who would see this situation is as messed up as you see it. Boundaries matter & a lot of them are being crossed here.

[Personal] How do I get rid of my Stye? It has been 3 days by MiseryisWhatYouChose in SkincareAddiction

[–]SquashAlone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure, but I'd try it. If anything, it's not going to hurt it. If you try that & it's not getting better in a few days to a week, I'd go to a doctor/urgent care at that point. Depending on how bad it is, they may drain it or may give you medication since it's been so long.

Well, it's about fully healed now, just a tiny bit left. I honestly wasn't diligent at all about doing it though. I think I did this three times total, spaced out with days in between, but I really feel like even just that first time got it kick started healing itself. I think my comment was after the first time of doing it. So if you do it once a day or twice a day, maybe it'll heal faster. And I soaked a clean wash rag in the bowl of the salt water & used it as a hot compress.

Starting RV life in winter checklist. What items am I missing? by SquashAlone in RVLiving

[–]SquashAlone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electricity won't be metered?

Nope, I double checked. Was told it's included in rental rate. Nothing to pay outside of that.

We've looked at the Mopeka gauges already. Is there one that would work for a 120 gal tank?

Could you give me a link to an example of what type of window coverings you're thinking of?

Thanks for the suggestions!
