LOTS of financial things going on. I am still working to finalize my refinance on the house. Should be done by the 31st!

I had small credit card fraud on an inactive credit card. I caught it when the mortgage company pulled my credit. Didn't affect the refinance as the amount was

How did you resolve CC fraud? What steps are required? Are you re-fi house with the same lender or? I guess I missed it but did you find a suitable venue for your wedding? I hope you are enjoying the planning process it can be so much fun but be sure to keep your sense of humor while coping with providers. I remember how important it was to get everything in writing as verbal promises vanish in a hot minute.

I had the credit card company address the fraud charges & shut down the account. Which is what I asked them to do in the first call. $0 balance on the account now. The refi is with the same lender and I break even, no $ out, no extra closing costs. Just have to have cash for closing in the same amount I will be refunded for the escrow in the other account (My homeowners insurance renews every October).

The wedding venue has been decided AND I found my dress!! I have everything in contracts, including pictures of the dress & triple checked measurements :P Luckily, the venue is an incredibly respected wedding place and I feel very confident in the services we will be getting. Thanks for asking!

Good catch. I'm glad you are not out of money. And congratulations on the venue and the dress!
