Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Ass mic sounds dangerous.

Well, I am already full up with dealing with idiots today. SunTru$t bank is made of them.

Ideal for wind instrumentation, though.

Oh, and so is Comcast. I'm past due because they turned off automatic payments. Why? No idea. I didn't authorize that. Why would I do that?

I don't have automatic payments. But I do have automatic reminders to make the payments.

I have to have automatic payments. I know my brain. If I see a reminder to make a payment, and I don't do it that instant, I'll forget. This is why I'm so frustrated right now with both Comcast (for turning it off) and with SunTrust (for making auto payments impossible).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, what a nightmare, Zen! I suspect many banks spend a lot of time and money figuring out new ways to make themselves inaccessible. Whether it's so they can charge more fees or just because increasing the misery in the world serves their evil overlords occult purposes I couldn't say. Can you use a billpaying service - paypal or wherever you have a checking account or maybe a credit card - to pay SunTrust automatically whether they want you to or not? There used to be such a service that would actually write a check and mail it for you if whoever you were paying wouldn't cooperate in setting up electronic payments, but it's been a while since I've needed that.

I've been using External Transfer to pay SunTrust from my CU, but now that gives me an error message (even though the rep said there was no problem with it on their side) so I can't use it. I will set up my CU Bill Pay to pay it, but that won't solve the immediate problem, which is that I need to make a past-due payment in order to use the card again, and I've now made that payment twice and it still hasn't posted.

Is it normal for a credit card to be frozen if there's a past due amount, even though there's still a balance available? That's never happened to me before.

They obviously really want me to open a new checking account with them. I ain't gonna. Five years of their BS is more than enough. I don't have a mortgage with them anymore, so there's no reason I have to stay in this rather abusive relationship.
