Stupid Transunion

I just called Transunion b/c I'd sent a request for a credit report a while ago, in my usual humble "Excuse me, but I think there may be an error/ could you please help me?" tone. First the rep starts going that it's going to take over 30 days for me to recieve it, and I tell her that I'd sent it a month or 2 ago, She repeats the same thing. I again say that I sent the request over a month ago. Meanwhile I'm trying to see if there's a date on the report I recieved from Equifax. She repeats the same thing. I'm getting pretty steamed now, and again tell her it's been over a month and she's like when, and I'm like I don't remember the exact date. Then I remember that there's a post office stamp on the envelope from Equifax, so I tell her June. And she's like ok, and then after a long pause asks for my credit card number or SSN ....ack! I mean SIN! Damn Americans. I did the same thing when I was working for C&L at Animethon and they needed it to send me a cheque. Anyways, I start reading out my credit card number and before I finished, she tells me to repeat it again. So I'm like did you want my credit card number or my SSN?! (Yes I said SSN to her, it's a bad habit) And she's like either will do, fine I read her my SIN. After another long pause, she asks for my last name, first name, another long pause, my address, and then when I started rattling it off, she's like I have to put it into the computer. *sigh* So very slowly and only giving her info when she requested it, I give her my current address. And she's like, how long have you been living there? And I say "over a year" She asks again. I'm starting to get a vein popping. "A year and a half" And she asks for my old address. Finally she tells me that she can't find it and wants me to mail in another copy of the request form plus 2 pieces of ID. I tell her that I could be a victim of identity theft and she wants me to mail in another copy of my information, when there's already a copy floating around?! Considering I was already using my "Look you useless rep..." voice before I even gave her any of my information, my voice was changing to "I want to talk to your supervisor..."voice, but I decided to rein it in, and plodded along trying to get her to do something. Then she tells me that I can order it online, so I'm like fine, what's the address? And she's like what? Finally I get it and then I ask her which link I'm supposed to click. So she opens up her browser and then has the gall to tell me to pick either English or French, which was the page before the main page. *pop POP POP* goes the veins. She's obviously not listening to me, and have to basically tell her I'm already on the page for whereever she tells me to go. Oh, and guess what, $15 to apply online! Oh, sorry $14.99. So I asked her if there was a way of her just sending me the info since she had all my info already, and she's like no, and I said well, Equifax allows you to apply over the phone, which is a totally useless statement, but I was so ticked off, and if I were to mail in the application, it'd have to be by courier which is gonna cost me $7 at least. And then she starts repeating herself so I just hung up. Yes, I was a lousy customer but I guess this is why empathy helps. Argh, I hate it when stupid monitors are right! Anyways, now I'm all paranoid that she might do some shit w/ all the info I gave her.

So later I call up to check if my CCWIPP had moved the funds over to my RRSP. And incidentally it was b/c of a leak at the CCWIPP that I even have to go thru the hassle w/ credit reports. The lady asked if I'd checked w/ my bank yet so I tell her that I can't check recent transactions w/ my online bank account, so she just looks it up for me. No fuss, no pushback.

So I just finished sorting my empty boxes. Yes, empty boxes. I keep the blister packs and packaging the come with my figures, so it's easier when I have to pack them up. And it's not just the box for my Beast statute 1363 of 3000, but also my newest acquisition: Yamato Story Image Figure Legato Bluesummers of Trigun. He looks sooo sweet, and of course is played by Seki Toshihiko. Oh, it was so funny, at least for me, I think it was just puzzling for my supervisor, but there's this website we use to reset our passwords and the login password wasn't working so I had to use the secret questions. One of the Q was fav artist, which I have Seki Toshihiko. But when you're trying to type it, and you can't tell which letter you've just typed in, it's pretty hard. So I'm like sounding it out and giggling at the same time.

Anyways TT is coming over to borrow more discs. I'm recommending Outlaw Star, which is great. I can't wait for my DVD player to come. Although I'll have to get a HDMI cable now. So expensive!
