'05 Troubles

[Pudge]

My new '05 TSP allocation came out of the first pay period as expected. However, the Catch-up one did not. On checking through our Employee Self Service site, I found Catch-up amounts I had never seen before. I corrected the amount to reflect 25 pay periods. Further, I sent a check to pay off a loan on 12/28/04. The check has not cleared, and my loan is still listed as unpaid. Anyone else having such troubles? Anyone have a phone number that I could call New Orleans with? Pls. don't tell me the automated system number from the TSP site. Going to S Texas coast for a week of fishing tomorrow. So, don't expect a response from me 'til 1/24.

TIA for your help, Pudge :?

Pudge, it does take awhile to close out a loan. They have to wait for your check to clear, I'm sure a lot of them have been on vacation, and they have work to do now since more and more are changing allocations daily. Wait till you try to get another loan! May take 4-6 months.
