OT - sad news
I got declined for a credit card the other day at Coles and they said
they would send me a letter. I did not even want to get their credit card but they said I could get 30% off my shoe purchase if I applied. Even though it was declined clerk was nice enough to give me 20% off. Letter today says card was declined because credit report said I was deceased. Trying to get in touch with the reporter, TransUnion so far has been impossible. Computers down and I got through on the phone to one of their Indians but he said there was nothing he could do because computers were down. He refused to take a message. World is full of incompetents. But, if others hear this sad news who knows what other idiots I will have to deal with. |

I'd immediately check in with the others to make sure they don't also have you as dead. If you are getting a pension or SS, you might want to do the same before the checks stop with no warning.. |

Could happen. I've heard others on TV say they had to spend months to correct this. I only use one credit card but have others for wife. She pointed out that she just got a note from Discover that contained my credit score. I never ask for a credit report and don't need one. I like the convenience and pay it off in full at end of month. SS does have me worried. When dad died I called them and they just asked for his name and SS number and that was it. Wife just pointed out that when I reported him deceased that I was on his checking account but this was nearly 15 years ago and I was not signed up then. |

I did the free credit report thing you can do annually and it contains the TransUnion one and there was no problem. Strongly suspect Kohl's clerk miss-entered my SS number or something. |

I told him, "you are mistaken my isp is Comcast." He said, "Oh, Comcast has been taken over by Verizon." Then I began my "stupid Indian rant", cursed him and hung up. He called back asking why I thought he was so smart. I called him an Indian asshole, in Hindi, told him to jump in the Ganges and hung up telling him not to call back as I would not answer. He did, I didn't. Figure I did my good deed by ****ing him off to the point that he might want more money to partake in this thievery. |

Eight times she called back. Eight times I saw the call ID and answered with a rape whistle. I came home several hours later from some thing, and had a message on the machine (from the female spammer) suggesting I get mental help. I didn't call back to tell the idiot woman to learn what is a rape whistle. - .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

You can bet the "goon" did NOT work for Moicrosoft. I've had them call saying they were from Microsoft and from Rogers. I've had popups on my computer claiming to be from both - all telling me the same thing - my computer was "throwing bad things at the internet" was the explanation I got from one of them when I called the number on the notice from Rogers. I asked "is this Rogers" and he answered "this is Ragish Patel and we work for Rogers". I hung up. Any time I call Rogers support they answer "this is name from Rogers in Toronto".. They are calling from Brampton and have that distinctive "brampton accent" that sounds very "south asian" - but at least they are sitting at a desk in Brampton Ontario. |

Hate to tell you but that's Canadians raping Canadians. When I hauled stuff into Canada I'd get the load cleared by a Canadian broker licensed by the Canada Border Services Agency. Coming in by any other courier - or post - is not NEASRLY as bad as "the big brown truck" Canada post MIGHT charge $5 plus HST. I've been hit on about 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 mailed packages - while a $22 package by UPS costs about $18 brokerage and tax ($2.86 in taxes) |
