So last week I opened up a new checking account. Made my initial deposit, got my starter checks, account number, etc... No problems.
Then today I got a call from my banker. He just wanted to let me know that there was a problem with my account. As it turns out, they got a mismatch on my social security number or something and my old name popped* up instead of my current one. Weird. Especially since I updated my information with the SS office the day I had my name changed. Anyway, it wasn't a huge issue. I just had to bring in my name change paperwork to prove it's really my social number, and my account was spared (hooray!).
I should prolly check into why the mismatch came up, and see if there's anything I can do to prevent it from happening in the future. But honestly - I just don't care enough about it to expend the effort at the moment. My poor banker though. He was all confused when I tried to explain to him that the social really did match ^_^
* Odd Fun Fact - whenever I write the word 'popped', I'm always paranoid that I'll spell it wrong, and accidentally write 'pooped'. Since this could end up being a really embarrassing mistake, I end up triple spell-checking the word.
