Gentle Spiders,
I guess I forgot to let you know how this has ended... (I'm blaming my
forgetfulness on Katrina Brain - PTSD)
I got a letter from FEMA/National Flood Insurance Program that stated it was a
"computer" error, and that their records indicate that:
1. My house didn't flood, so no insurance claim was filed.
2. I didn't receive payment.
Being the trusting person that I am (HA!), I immediately scanned the letter,
stored a copy on my office computer, stored a copy on my home computer, and
filed the original with my house paperwork (loan papers, title, etc) - in the
expandy folder that goes with me when I evacuate. The letter was actually
addressed to my insurance company, so they have their own copy. AND no red
flags were raised when I recently applied for a home equity loan to do some
bathroom repairs (not storm related, just aging house). I think the issue is
finally over.
Thank you, all of you out there, for listening and caring.
