Your Chase Credit Card Payment is Due

[Ron Obvious]

Yes, I know, you bastards; I just paid it three days ago! Why can't your programmers figure this out and not send out this alert?!

I know... I know... First world problems, but multiply this by several bank accounts who also feel the need to inform me that my statement is now available (who fucking cares?) and my inbox is getting increasingly clogged with annoying nags.

Every utility or company I deal with apparently expects me to go their mybollocks.com page to check in, read reports, and do things.

Oh, and newsletters. Don't get me started on those.

Sorry, rant off.

1. I had a discussion with a Credit Card Company not too long ago

about an issue when they locked my account as I was trying to buy my Rx's at the pharmacy as I had gone over their limit by some unknown amount (which mysteriously no one could explain to me). I had thousands of available credit on the account and paid my bills off each month early often carrying a credit balance.

The discussion went like this.

Me: "You know with my Credit Rating, Cards are pretty much a dime a dozen".

Them: No response, beyond unlocking the account and transferring me to a supervisor.

5. Apparently, the domain name is available from a domain squatter.

I just went ahead and checked and feared the worst. The mind boggles...

3. Everyone wants your email

So they can spam you. Look, I’m just trying to buy this cup of coffee, I don’t want to give you my email address, I don’t want to join your special club, I don’t want another credit card, and I certainly don’t want to go to your Web site to fill out a survey about how much I enjoyed my coffee transaction.

6. The there's the invite to fill out a survey about how much you enjoyed filling out the first survey

about how much you enjoyed your coffee transaction...

7. Oh, and then they nag you a couple of times for not filling out the survey!

I only filled one of those feedback surveys out once, stuffed it with bile, and got a mail back saying how happy they were that I had a good experience! Nobody reads them.

8. This.

I finally got wise to the fact that yes everyone wants my email so they can send me all sorts of junk and spam. I deal with it as best I can, I don't enter contests, fill out surveys, or give out my email address unless it's something absolutely necessary.

The ones that get me are the ones where I've had ZERO contact. For example, Lyft and Uber send me notices DAILY to sign up to drive with them. I have never had an account with either one. Okay, I rode with an Uber driver last April up in Cleveland, but it was my sister's account. Now HOW did they know I was there, too?

4. They sent me a notice and I do not have a Chase Credit Card

I put the notice on spam
