A teller in Boise told me to always check the memo line

I was sending a payment for a car part and wrote 'engine block' in the memo. The teller said she sees that a lot, and it once saved a guy when his payment got lost. The bank used the memo to find his account and fix it. Has anyone else had a memo line actually help sort out a payment mess?

That's actually a solid tip. I mean, my handwriting is so bad they'd probably read "rent" as "ant farm" and cause a whole new problem. But yeah, making a note seems smart.

Bad handwriting is a real issue though.
