Came home from a great weekend to get a letter from the bank…..
You may recall the blog entry from the 8th that we could not get cell phones in part because my social security number was too new…. Well, the letter from the bank was to inform us that we can not get a secured credit card in part because they can not verify my nice new social security number……… Right……Um……….
The other reason was because that the bank could not verify our apartment address (Im tempted to refer them to Matt and Gary, but doing so may endanger more than my credit card application)……. The interesting thing is that the auto (car) insurance people could not verify it either, but they just put the price up and gave it to us anyway…. perhaps I should refer the bank to them…….
Anyway, point is, we cant get a credit rating until we get the card, paying your gas and electricity does not count, paying for things with your debit card does not count, cant get a car loan, so paying for it does not count, cant get cell phones so cant count paying our phone bill, so….well…. I might say more when I am in a better frame of mind about it all……. or not………
