Is it too much to ask...

for people to be helpful instead of just passing you on to someone else to solve your issue? I have been trying to get my property tax bills and escrow straightened out for weeks. Our property tax was all lumped together in our closing docs (our title company had it all incorrect which I pointed out at closing) when in reality, we pay 3 different taxing authorities. Our mortgage has been sold to Wells Fargo, then to Fannie but WF still services the loan. From WF to every county tax office, appraisal district, city office, I have gotten the complete run around.

This morning was a series of 8 phone calls and it is still not all corrected. Come on, this should not be this complicated.

If you have a gripe to add, feel free to share.

Good luck. I'm pissy in general today as I still don't feel good and my husband has gone out of town. His solution for everything is to call my mom and have her help. Number one, she drives me nuts. Number two, she is two hours away. And number three, what the hell are you going to do if your job moves us thousands of miles away.

But that wasn't my gripe. It took 6 months, numerous phone calls and an appeal letter for my company to realize I don't work for them and that I should not have insurance through them.

My question is what happens when people don't stay on top of these kinds of screwed up situations? So you just get insurance for eternity? I mean wow, it couldn't have been that hard for them to verify if you should have insurance or not? Crazy.

I will pursue shit until it is worked out, but what happens with people who just say whatever and drop it? Or older folks who get frustrated or don't understand these dramas and errors.

I don't know what would have happened if I tried to use my insurance (I switched to my husband's). I called so many times to tell them I didn't work there and shouldn't owe my employee portion of the insurance. Time after time I was told it was worked out and yet I kept getting bills. Nothing really helped until I submitted my appeals claim. Sooooo many people f'ed up but I guess it doesn't matter.

I do feel bad for those who don't pursue things. My situation could have ended up costing a bunch of money. I don't get how the system was so messed up. And it seems like government entities are even worse than private companies.
