Paying Wamu Credit Card in Cash

Wamu’s credit card FAQ tells of ways to pay our credit card online but I didn’t see a way to pay at a branch in cash. So I email the good people at Wamu to ask about paying cash at a local branch.

It can take up to 24 days to be posted to your account!

The powers that be at Wamu really don’t want cash. You would think with the latest news that their credit is downgraded, they would welcome a little cash.

Recalculating My Student Loan Payments

Two letters arrived from my student loan company today. The first one said the company recalculated my loan payments on 6 of my 8 loans and the minimum amount each month raised a little. Using the handy calc program on my computer I found the minimum payment went up about $4 a month to $329.86. I have been paying $330 a month on the loans hitting the principle a little but now I know I am only contributing an extra $0.14 a month toward the balance of my loans.

Gotta hurry up and pay off those credit cards which are first in my debt snowball.
