My avatar. I went to change it to a different flower and it wouldn't work. It kept messing up. So I tried a few more times with other flowers then I put in a jellyfish as a last ditch effort, it said it didn't accept that either. It kept my original flower. Then when I signed in it had the jellyfish and also told me changing the photo "has been disabled". It still is disabled and I don't know why.
@doozer1345 That's awful! Something similar happened to DH's grandparents about a year ago. A scammer called and told them that they were from the county jail, that DH's cousin (their granddaughter) had been arrested, and that if she didn't pay a $2,000.00 fine that very day she would be sentenced to 6 months in prison. They gave their credit card info, and paid the "fine." The cousin had been arrested for a DUI a few months earlier and was always having run-ins with law enforcement, so we assume they got her name from the public records and did a search for elderly relatives, knowing the story would be believable. The police tried to track the number but were never able to locate the scammers. I agree with @TheThornBird - there's a special place in hell for those people!
Exact same scam happened to my grandmother. They even had someone "playing the part" of my cousin. She couldn't tell it wasn't him because he sounded so upset. Luckily they were asking her to wire money ($10,000!!!) and she said she didn't know how to do that and why didn't he just call his parents? She honestly didn't know how to wire money, thank goodness.
This disgusts me. How can people do this to old people. Special place in hell...
I know it is not Wednesday, but this has been going on since yesterday. The mortgage payment is due on the 15th, so I tried to pay online. It kept saying the password was wrong for my account, so I tried MH's account. He, of course, has no idea what his password is so I tried like 500 different combinations of names, birthdays, etc. And then I hit the "Forgot Password" button, but nothing happened. Didn't send any code or anything. I did this,oh, 57 times. I tried calling and after about 1 1/2 hours navigating the stupid system and screaming "REPRESENTATIVE" at the top of my lungs, I collapsed into a ball of tears and anger. MH sent me to bed with my son and we cuddled and watched the Charlie Brown Christmas Special and fell asleep by 8pm. MH promised he would handle it, but at 3am when I got up to pee, he was passed out on the couch. And no, the mortgage was not paid. The last time I paid over the phone, I started sobbing uncontrollably and I need to be at work so I can much more easily handle online transactions (hence my ability to Bump at work) vs. crying on the phone while kids pour into the office. So I am at it again, trying with all my might to give this company my money, and they just won't let me! Why is it so frickin hard to pay a bill?! Honestly, I would rather a little less security. If someone wants to hack my account and pay my mortgage for me, by all means, let them do it! GAHHHHH! Now, we are going to get smacked with a late fee and my already tanked credit score is going to just go further into the tubes. Blah! Ok, rant over.
Your credit shouldn't be impacted unless the payment is greater than 30 days late. Late fees super suck, but the credit shouldn't be an issue. I hate creditors.

My experience was unfortunately different...we have 2 mortgage pmts, the main one and then one for S40. I thought they were both on automatic debit, but the small one wasn't. I realized it on the 16th of the month & the grace period ended on the 15th...they reported it as a late pmt to the credit bureau and there it sits on my report. Sorry Maybe you will get lucky and your mortgage company isn't quite so proactive as mine...needless to say I won't make that mistake again.
