Hi Cal,

Thanks for replying, and so quickly!

No, it's not that the mortgage company changed the payment and told
the bank to change the scheduled payment, because I pay it the old-
fashioned way, writing out a check by hand and actually going to a
branch to pay it. So I'm sure the check was written out for the
correct amount, and both the receipt they gave me and my statement for
that month show the correct amount as credited. So it's just the bank
that's off, here.

Ok, so if I enter the $0.06 adjustment to my checking account, what
happens with my mortgage? I mean, was my mortgage company actually
credited $0.06 less than they should have been? Or did my bank credit
the correct amount and just record it incorrectly? Where did the
$0.06 go?

Again, I don't even see how a thing like this can happen in this day
and age.


Thanks!

TK

If you are confident that the mortgage company is crediting you for
the bigger amount, you could enter a $0.06 deposit to the checking
account to compensate. The category could be adjustment.

On the other hand, it would not surprise me if the mortgage company
lowered your payment, such as changing the escrow amount. They told
the bank to change the scheduled payment.

Help me, please! I've got a crazy one here.

The amount my bank statement shows for my house payment transaction is
wrong, but my mortgage statement is correct. The bank statement says
it was $0.06 less than it really was.

I have my mortgage set up as another account in Money. So how do I
make a transfer transaction show that it's 6 cents less in my checking
account than it is in my mortgage account?

I know that it's probably not possible (nor should it be), but then
what is the correct way to enter this oddity into Money to get both
accounts to balance?

Thanks in advance!

TK


p.s.-- As an aside, how on earth can a bank screw something like this
up? It's all electronic these days, is it not? If so, how can my
mortgage holder show a different amount than my bank?
