Re: XE questions - and other banking questions
The payee suggested a wire transfer - which would cost more than the amount owed. Sigh.
They don't take credit cards.. or anything else I've found so far.

Yeah......... that's what I'd do. Now it may still be possible to resurrect the old account - another year or so, forget it...

Can't your husband get someone to write a cheque for him - he can then square up with them somehow.

How much would you care to bet me that the man does not have any cheques?

Re: XE questions - and other banking questions
I have not thus far succeeded.
Yes, it is ridiculous that this small amount is such a problem. The rant has been occurring at this end.
I would like to have a more long-term solution in place as well, so as not to have such (ridiculous) drama in the future.

Re: XE questions - and other banking questions
I do completely realise this is silly to be such a problem - everything I have suggested (credit card, family, western union, paypal) have all been shot down as unworkable for some reason. Ugh.
