How do you not know your own address?

[chikky]

OK.  Cut out a check for a independent contractor who did some work for us.  Where do you want us to send the check?  Contractor provides home address.  Put the check in the mail to address provided.  Contractor calls and said she lives at 210 ABC Way not 120 DCEE Drive.  Town is XYZ not JKLMOP.  Zip Code (do not even go there).  Hey we got the State right!  Now she wants us to cut a new check (at $35 cost to us).  We will wait until the check gets sent back to us and then send it to the correct() address.  She has lived there for the past 3-years.  It's not like she moved overnight!  She sends about 10 emails a day  and a daily phone demanding payment!  Well at least she has the email address correct and phone numbers correct. 

Back from a 10-day vacation.  This is what I have to deal with.  Oh well, makes it interesting.

Chikky, I hear ya sister, and I'm joining in the chorus, if you don't mind!

I have to overnight a document to an attorney's office.  The address on the attorney's letterhead is a P.O. box.  I call the attorney's office to ask for the street address to be used for UPS/FedEx deliveries.

Person answering the phone at the attorney's office says:  "Hm.  That's a good question." 

Huh?!?  I find it difficult to believe that an attorney's office never had to have anything delivered overnight! 

I've also had to chase independent contractors for their W9 forms and have also been given bad addresses!  I don't get it either, but if it's any comfort, it's not just you.   

Hope you had a good vacation!  I'm waiting for my few days on the beach at the end of the month!
