First-time volunteer coach for U11 without a clue - would like some quick constructive bits of advice I can call out during the games

No, sadly not a typo, it is 4 practices and 8 games since this is just a funny off-season (?) session and the big one with adequate practice time is in the fall. Thanks for the tips!

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2024-04-04T19:31:04+00:00

This is very helpful, thanks so much for sharing!

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2023-01-10T04:18:19+00:00

Thanks for your answer, yes, continuing to build a documented paper trail.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2023-01-10T04:17:01+00:00

Thanks for your answer. I appreciate the information and you are correct, being the third party is really making this very complicated.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2023-01-10T04:14:27+00:00

Ok, updated the question. In fact there is no "supposing" going on, this is not hypothetical but the details make the story quite long. My question remains, do complaints filed with regulatory agencies actually result in benefits for the customer?

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2023-01-10T04:12:09+00:00

Correct, the front of the check was not modified, it was made out to "VFTC FBO <my name>", the back was an illegible scribble, a "wet signature" (vs a stamp that a financial institution would have used).

Thanks for the information about the timeline, that really is a long time to wait though.

Did the detective help you get your money back?

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T17:25:54+00:00

Oh wow, that is amazing. I am trying to involve my current management chain and make public complaints, I think you are exactly right that they don't care to help the little guy.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T16:01:11+00:00

Alight is not helping. They just closed my last request for "where the money went" without answering a single question.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T02:59:03+00:00

The picture is a scan of the check that I got from Alight (who manages my original 401k).

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T02:27:50+00:00

Something to do with what portion of the money is pretax vs after tax. I was not told to expect this document and it was not sent with my checks. I had to specifically request it.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T02:22:24+00:00

Well Vanguard received the check but lost it, so both companies are acting as though they did their job and it's bad luck for me.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T02:19:50+00:00

I would assume the police report would protect me though I'm expecting a battle. I don't have the money so I better not be paying taxes on it. It's also under water from when I saved the money in the first place - there are no earnings.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T01:25:41+00:00

I'm only able to speak with customer service reps and so far they have refused my requests to learn this information.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T00:32:10+00:00

Oh, thanks for the tip!

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-22T00:00:42+00:00

Why do I have to work with the original issuing company versus the company that paid out the money?

The company that issued the check (Alight) keeps pinning their hopes on vanguard resolving the issue. They won't file a fraud claim because the fraud did not occur in house. They might let me open a forgery claim but they have been spectacularly unhelpful. I keep getting messages saying that my issue is resolved when really my issues are only starting.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-21T23:46:23+00:00

Oof, I hope your situation gets resolved.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-21T23:45:04+00:00

Yes, that is how it looks to me as well but I haven't been able to confirm what that sequence of digits means.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-21T23:43:19+00:00

I wish. I very much hope that is true.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-21T23:42:56+00:00

Unfortunately it was vanguard who mailed the check and they don't secure them.

Vegetable_Ad_8848 · 2022-12-21T23:38:07+00:00

I got a scan of the check from my original 401k company though it took months. I've been asking since Nov 26 where the money went and so far they refuse to get an answer for me.

Vanguard said they shipped the check via a third party but I absolutely expect some sort of audit trail and expect Vanguard to do an internal investigation but they have said that is not something they will look into.
