I AM NOT MY MOTHER
Tuesday, September 07, 2004
... or my father for that matter! My name is Travis, and it was I who opened a savings account last week, not them! Yet somehow with the miracle of modern computing the account ended up in one of their names. This means, that I cannot transfer money to pay bills, without being whichever one of them got the account assigned to them. This was the conversation with two different people re: my account.
"What is your name again?"
Travis
"do you go by any other name?"
No
"Then the account doesn't have your name on it"
Super, and that means there is nothing I can do?
"You'll have to call your local bank and ask them."
Thanks for everything.
NO REALLY THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! Luckily this must be a regularly occurring problem, because guess what, the local bank fixed it over the phone. Or it should be fixed tomorrow when the person with access to the savings account information gets back to do that. Until then there is a memo with my account number floating around the bank waiting to be acted upon. The good news... YEAH. my bills will get paid afterall. Phew!
