Just a weird coincedence they all happened within a short time.
You say this now. But when our overlords arrive, you'll see the pattern.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Matt, that's been my experience with Citibank as well. They caught a fraud charge and took care of everything right away. Though, I saw my interest rate mysteriously raise 6% for no apparent reason and had to raise hell. They did drop the rate, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, but our overlords will only be a problem until the Cylons get here.

Citibank erased a couple late payments back when I was in college. Once when my mail got all screwed up with forwarding and I didn't get the bill until past due and another when the mailroom neglected to send the outgoing mail out for 2 months. Neither of which could be really verified, but they took my word for it. The fraud warning stuff is nice, though of course it always freaks out on me too.
Also, I remember something about not cancelling old cards (just...stop using them) because that drops them from your credit history, but research that because I may be getting the factoid mangled with something else.

On the highway this morning, there was an SUV in front of me with a vanity plate reading "GEFILTE". It made me laugh.

Chase Visa is evil and, more to the point, a big pain in my ass.
Chase recently absorbed both of my credit cards and I'm convinced that they are being a pain in the ass on purpose to drive me away as an undesirable customer (I have received over $1000 in rebates from these cards and have never-until a recent "lost" payment like the one flea describes-paid the credit card company a dime).
I found a Citibank card that pays 1% rebate on all purchases and 5% on gas and groceries, so I'll use that one until Citibank realizes that they need to get rid of me.

I think the funniest license plate I've ever seen was a white Volkswagen Rabbit with the plate "ML8 ML8."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That? Is brilliant.

The license plate that made me most want to high five the owner was the Toyota Cressida with the plate "TROILUS."
I know, they were probably an insufferable and haughty Lit major, but still. It was Michigan, and I was starved for signs of literacy.

Wow -- how do I get transferred to the universe where Citibank doesn't suck? My experience with them has been nothing but frustration. (Lost money, ignored requests to link accounts, bogus extra fees...the list goes on and on. The only reason I haven't switched to another bank years ago is that I'm incredibly lazy, and nobody else seems to have as many ATMs.)
