Not sure why that's a problem -- we vote for people in November every year with the same characteristics.  Just throw a dart.

GRO: TDT flies tonite up to Minneapolis.  TDT is hoping he is slightly ahead of the holiday rush rush go go.  Weather looks good at this point.  Headed to Green Bay on Thursday for the Vikings/Packers tilt on the NFL Network.  Look for Touchdown Tommy behind the Vikes sideline...

TDT-

You got any connections for some Ravens post season tickets?  I would like to be close enough to give R. Lewis a dap.

OK.  Weird moment from today - just a few minutes ago, in fact...

I applied to open a Bank of America checking account online last night (they're offering $100 for opening, and I've been wanting one from there since they have branches everywhere now).  So, I fill in the application, submit it and got an email last night saying they were delaying acceptance.  I was a little peeved, since I think my credit score is at 777 right now -- I nurse that baby like it's my job.  However, I went to sleep and forgot about it.

Fast forward to this morning -- I get an email saying that I need to call for verification purposes.  Fine -- I call and speak to a lovely customer service rep.  She begins asking questions much like they ask when you attempt to access your credit report (based from supposedly public records which refer to property locations, relations of yours, vehicles you've owned, former residences, etc.).  Often, they throw in "trick questions" that don't apply to you when you attempt to access your information to see if you'll answer "none of these/no relation."  Here are the 5 questions I was asked:

1) In what city does [NAME OF FORMER SISTER-IN-LAW, 2 YEARS REMOVED] own or rent property?

2) Which of the following vehicles have you owned/leased? (listed 5 vehicles to which I have no relationship)

3) What is the age range of Barbara Rossi? (listed 5 age ranges -- problem is, I know no Barbara Rossi)

4) Which of the following vehicles have you owned/leased? (again listed 5 vehicles to which I have no relationship)

5) Which of these people are you most closely associated with? (list 5 foreign names I've never heard of in my life)

After the first question about the former sister-in-law, I said to the girl, "That's an inappropriate question."  Essentially, if I didn't answer, I'd be rejected for the account and would have to go into the branch to open (who knows what their verification process would be like).  I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be approved for this account -- which is a little freaky to me, based on that phone call.  Should I be worried about identity theft, etc.?

Frank,

A while back I had some bad debt caused by theft.
A couple weeks after Reg got married we went in to open a joint account with a bunch of wedding money and the money from MR and Regs previous accounts.  Needless to say, even with cash in hand, Reg and MR were denied a SAVINGS ACCOUNT.  I nearly punched the VP of the branch in the head....like "are you kidding me??....you are turning me down on a savings and checking account??.....what is this, amature hour??....am I going to go into debt on the cash I GIVE to you RIGHT NOW?"

After I dropped a few other choice words on him, we left and gave our money to another bank who gave us plutonium or something account status.

JT has one of those credit guard deals.  Can look at all three reports online at anytime, plus JT gets an email when something changes or is added.  JT pays $9.99 per month.  JT gets stuff removed fast.

Since JT uses CC's a lot for business expenses, the credit guard think is great for piece of mind.  JT checks his reports at least twice per month.

Forget banks. Keep all the money under your mattress, unless you're really rich... then you might need to keep it elsewhere.

I have the Experian one, but that doesn't allow me to see the other two reports.  What service to you use, JT?

Look like it jumped to $12.99, maybe JT is under some kind of grandfathering.  Still worth it.

That type of stuff is scary.  Grads little one is not even a year yet and is getting mail with his name on it, and we're not talking just holiday cards either....
