Bank Hassle

I get a letter from my bank that says the following:

You may have recently read or heard about a security breach at a company that processes debit and credit card transactions for thousands of merchants. We have been advised by this processor that your Check Card may have been compromised as a result.......

[Something about they are monitoring my account and nothing unusual has happened]

To ensure that you are completely protected from fraudulent activity, we have issued you a new Check Card. ....receive new pin....in a few days...Your old card will remain active until Monday, 8 August 2005. Please destroy your old card once your new PIN is received and you have successfully activated your new card.

It goes on to tell me they understand that this may be an inconvenience however my account security is their first priority. I'm not responsible for unauthorized charges....so on and so forth.

Now first, let me explain, I LOVE my bank! Truly! I have been a member for 11 years and will never change. No problems, good interest rates, good people running the place. The only issue...there aren't a lot of round. It's a military credit union, so you have to be near a base to go to a branch.

I want to get mad. I hate the fact that I have to call EVERYONE I have set up on automatic payment to switch this account number. I have everything on automatic so I don't have to deal with it! I HATE balancing checkbooks, I HATE doing budgets, I HATE paying bills. So if you want your money, YOU take it out of my account each month. Yea, not the most responsible thing. But my shit gets paid.

But I can't get mad because I appreciate the fact that they are proactive in protecting me.

But I want to get mad...really really bad!
