You might try contacting Vanguard and have them reimburse you for the $125 deduction.
When I moved my investments from Edward Jones to Fidelity I contacted Fidelity and they reimbursed me the fees for closing the accounts at Edward Jones.
You might start out with an assumption question. For example: "Is it true that Vanguard reimburses people that transfer their investments from a brokerage that charges account closing fees?"
Vanguard does not do that. Fidelity does. Schwab does.
