HOWDY…i missed it! damn, tivo has ruined me for life. so what happened?

I heart USAA too, I was excited to learn last month I can finally become a member because they will now count my dad’s years in the Air Force stateside during Vietnam as military service, and everyone I know who has USAA has nothing but good things to say about them. That said: don’t be complacent, listen to FCS and Prommie.

Oh, and good luck getting a DC cop to take a report on this. Given my experiences with them when I or loved ones or random dude walking by my house getting jacked and stabbed were victims of violent crime, I doubt they’ll give you a report. You’d probably have better luck with the Las Vegas PD fraud department unit…which given the casinos is probably a fairly decent-sized unit with competent people in it.

PS: Sorry about your credit card getting hijacked, mellbell. Hope it works out.

The Courts assist in this, a recent major case held that one of these credit protection services may not assist consumers by sending the required periodic repeated requests for these fraud and privacy protections. The court held the customer has to do it.

The system is totally controlled by big finance, all consumer finance regulations, ostensibly protecting the consumer, have this feature of required annual re-elections by the consumer. Who pays attention to the annual notice from their bank or credit card company which requires them to sign and return an opt-out form, every year, to re-affirm their privacy opt-out?

Its as corrupt and rigged as a system can be, and thats why I derive no satisfaction from working in it, working with it, even if I am working for good, its pissing in the wind, big finance gets what it wants, its all a corrupt game, and I know, I am deeply involved in manipulating the shit rules, every day of my life, and it makes me sick.
