I am 63, divorced and working. I would like to pay off my mortgage in the next three years. I plan to double or triple my pay- ments to get it paid quickly. What is the best way to pay off my mort- gage and save the most on interest? Is it best to make one large payment a month or send two or three pay- ments separately each month? -- Cathy K., Wisconsin Dear Cathy: It can be tricky to pay down your mortgage principal because your lender doesn't want you to reduce the interest that you pay. You should manage your pay- ments carefully. Make your extra payment at the same time each month, and clearly mark it for "principal prepayment only." In addition, call your lender and speak with a customer service rep- resentative explaining your inten- tions, that you will be making pre- payments from time to time and that you want detailed accounting for how your prepayments are being credited toward the princi- pal. Thanks for being such a loyal "EC" reader and DPLer. Dear Mary: I had a weak moment and ordered a "body makeover" product earlier this year. I got the first shipment and promptly canceled future shipments of the product. Seven weeks after I can- celed, I received another box. I marked it "refused, return to sender" and mailed it back the next day. However, I was charged for that second shipment. I called the company and wrote e- mails to customer ser- vice to no avail. They tell me they have no record of my cancella- tion. I am frustrated. Is it worth the trouble to pur- sue this? -- Susan, e-mail Dear Susan: Yes, it is Mary Hunt worth the trouble. Start by calling your credit card company, and speak with a conflict resolutions person in cus- tomer service. Be courteous yet firm. Use words like "fraud" and "deception" as you describe the sit- uation. Be very clear that you are disputing charges that were made after your canceled and refused shipment, plus any future charges that may materialize. You may need to follow up by completing a dispute form given to you by your credit Everyday Cheapskate card company. You will do others a big service if you report this event to your state's attorney general and the Better Business Bureau. Dear Mary: In a previous col- umn, you asked readers about the best thing they ever bought. Without a second thought, I had this item pop into my mind: my late wife's wedding ring. For a few thousand dollars, I got a lover, pal, confidant, caregiver, thera- pist, best friend, traveling companion and someone to love who loved me. That ring has to be the best thing I ever bought. -- Dan K., Pennsylvania Dear Dan: Your best thing makes my best thing pale by comparison. Your wife was one lucky gal to be on the receiving end of that best thing! Thanks for writing. Do you have a question for Mary? E-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723.
