I spent 20 years in the industry. Never once was I not able to find the discrepancy if there was a point in time where our balances agreed.
I'm confident some kind of mistake will turn up. What's funny about it is that he said my check register is one of the most orderly he has ever seen. Should be easy.
...The problem is that the bank can't reconcile my account...
Again, it is you who cannot reconcile his account, not the bank.
OK, OK, you're right. I can't reconcile my account. No question about that. And it's also true that the guy at the bank -- the guy representing the bank -- can't reconcile it. Neither of us can. We've worked on it together, and we've worked on it separately. His title is "personal banker." It's his job to help customers with things like this. He has been trying for two weeks. He hasn't been able to do it. That's a fact, even if it is actually my responsibility.
