Last winter, the company that services my mortgage sold it to another servicer, and they sent me a check for 2¢. I would have thrown it in my bank account, but the check is made out to me and my mother-in-law, and since we don’t have a bank account together, there’s really nothing I can do with it.

If the check were actually worth the paper it was written on, I might be incentivised to figure out a way to get my money, but for 2¢ it’s not worth even trying to get my bank to take it. So, I didn’t bother, and now they’ve sent me another one. I don’t know what to do with it. Are they going to send me a check for 2¢ every six months for the rest of my life?
