Not only is this title a very catchy song, its purpose for being used today is really nonchalant. In case you didn't know, but my brain just does not switch off when I want it too. Which leads to thoughts on many many subjects and things that I want to include in my blog. Most are to do with the service that I receive on my consumer watch dog trails and I am pretty disappointed with the things that I have bare witness too. This by no means that I enjoy complaining for a living, it simply means that I am aware of what is acceptable and what is not. Take for example the privacy laws. I bank with ANZ, not by choice, but merely the fact that our pay is entered into this account faster than any other bank is able too. My point is though, I asked recently for details of a specific payment into our checking account. This was to give our employer proof that they had short payed us the previous week. The meant to be professional, gives me a wad of statement and proceeds to expect that I will be on my way. After reiterating that I wanted a specific transaction, she then tells me "we cant do that" Annoyed I pointed out that I had no intentions of revealing previous and current transactions of our account, which to me is a privacy issue. We are told time and time and time again to protect details concerning our banking details and yet we cant be given simple information that links to a specific request. A little over the top yes, but its amazing what a person of the fraudulent kind can do with this information. Use it as a means to gain access to your personal details, who knows and while I know that our boss would do nothing of the kind. I have to ensure that my bank knows that I am not purposely revealing this information, so that in the event something does occur. I am covered. Here's my point is that I am ensuring that I am covering my ass, when the bank questions me about how I maintained the privacy of my information.
