currently on hold trying to fix a 401k rollover that got lost. Good god why can't this be an automated process.
it is automated at non-shitty brokerages
So I went to JP Morgan where my old plan was, and they had what I thought was an automated rollover form. I filled it out, and they had an option for rolling over to Charles Schwab, my current plan administrator. The problem was they had the wrong address in their system and mailed the check to the wrong Schwab office, who couldn't process it and I guess through it out or something like a bunch of rough ridin' idiots.
So then I call JP Morgan and tell them to cancel the check. They say they can't cancel it unless I mail them a letter with the old check information, the reason the plan wouldn't accept the check, and a signature. Sweet eff. It's 2014 you fucks.
