Received a 3 Year Old Invoice in the Mail
Went and got the mail today, in there was an invoice dated Feb 24 2014 (along with a "further action" letter) which I was certain I had paid. It is from a construction company who handled our insurance claim from a June 2013 hail storm, the bill is for the $500 deductible.
I remembered going to the business and paying the deductible in person only because of where I had to go to pay it, not only that but I pay my bills. Anyways my online statements ONLY go back 2 years. Luckily in 2014 we got still got our bank statements mailed to us (for some reason I still have them) and I found the March statement with a $500 cheque made out to the construction company.
A few things about this 1) I hope proof of my cashed check is sufficient since there is no way I will find a receipt 2) Being a three year old invoice, could they even "do anything"? 3) Who lets an invoice go 3 years without even once trying to contact anyone to get paid and 4) What is the best way to handle this? I'm not above swearing and belittling people.
Also how many other people have they screwed up with who do not have proof of payment?
