changing my address for my working assets credit card was an ordeal! although first they had noticed "unusual activity" and frozen the card, so we had to clear that up first. then to change my address, i had to pass the "where has gretchin ever lived?" quiz: they asked me about where i lived when i was in high school in colorado springs, what "other town" i lived in in colorado (which one?), what street i lived on in that other town (again, which one?), where i lived in pennsylvania (which was bad because i've obviously blocked everything out about that), and the strangest question ever: what state i was living in when i got my social security card (!)
they see michael's name as belonging to the phone number i was calling from, and it's still linked to his old address next door. this makes them suspicious. the fact that my old work number is still apparently active w/ my old message on it is also "a little suspicious," so i "should be prepared to show [my] driver's license" for the next purchase i make, and only then will they remove my old work number.
not everything in life happens neatly, people! god forbid anyone travel or move without first checking with their credit card companies! argh!
