Ruth- I would call and verify with the bank and then call the creditor with your information.
I think she may be telling you something just to get you off her back. If this is a trick like all the other times tell her to put it on her card, if not take her to small claims court with your parents.

And, I am bawling. This afternoon a call came in for my publisher and after paging his office phone twice I transferred the call to his voicemail. An hour or so later he comes out (I didn't know he was in the building) and asks who took his last call. he said, "yeah, it went to my voicemail." i said, "yes, I called your office twice and there was no reply(he has specified he wants you to call him and tell him what line, and not directly transfer his clals to him), so I transferred it to voicemail."
He didn't yell but he got that "you're such an idiot don't screw up again" tone in his voice. What we are supposed to do is dial *87 and page him throughout the building. I forgot. and he was a jerk.
I started tearing up but held it back and no one saw me get weepy. Thank goodness I was leaving for the day in about 20 minutes so I held it back and kept busy until then. He was in such a foul mood.
I got off work at 2 and just busted out crying. I know part of it is because I didn't sleep well last night, but he just talked down to me in front of everyone in the office.
I want to call him and let him know I really am sorry that I forgot and that I hope he has a better day tomorrow (he is the publisher and is stressed). But I also know that he shouldn't treat people like that (he does it to others too).
On a good note, I learned a valueable lesson and even though I sit here bawling and feeling hurt, I am glad I was able to learn this lesson.
Be aware of how you speak to others, because words really do hurt.
In fact, when I got home I called this girl I used to work with and apologized. When she first started working with me I treated her poorly and talked down to her, I expected perfection from the get-go and I thought I was a bigshot. I called her and cried that I was so sorry for treating her so badly and that I know how she must have felt when I used the tone of voice I did with her. I just couldn't express how sorry I was (I was hysterically crying on the phone with her).
And ya know what. I hope I apply what I learned at work to MDC. I hope today helps me to check my tone and words that I use on this board.
I mean (and now I am crying again) I value you mamas such a great deal and it's strange feeling this way because I have never met any of you, but I feel so strongly about you. You strong, beautiful wonder mamas and I keep thinking how I wish you were here because I really need you guys, ya know? Even as I write this I think how silly it sounds, or how desparate it must come across to you, but- I don't care. You are all so insightful and the only constant in my life right now.
anyway, the car's CVS axle wasn't broke it was the daggone power steering fluid. The plugs had wiggled loose and the fluid leaked out.

: I accidently made my doctor cry before 
: and I didn't mean to. Maybe your boss didn't mean to be so harsh.
Little background:
So back to Ohio we go- with no job waiting for us there either. We returned in early March and DH was mostly unemployed except for some music gigs here and there until June. Thankfully my aunt's house was empty and we still rent it from her now. So we had a nice place to live, albeit rather expensive. Not having health insurance during my first pregnancy destroyed my credit, I gave up paying the bills a long time ago. I'm now in Chapter 7 proceedings, I'm pretty sure my credit is in the negative. 
DH filed bankruptcy in 2004 as well, for the mess his divorce caused.
don't know if it would be considered a bank error, because your friend was giving the "wrong name". If the bank does call it an error, I would think the creditor would have to accept that- but who knows? They aren't the nicest of people. :P
: So DH hooked it back up and the kids and I just got in from playing in the water. 
: I cannot believe this. I don't even think we should be calling her your "friend". Friends don't do this crud to one another!
