Aveda: Go to this website and apply for your Stafford Loan.
Stafford site: Sign your loan with your handy dandy PIN.
Me: <<enters PIN>> Huh, this was *surprisingly* easy.
Stafford site: Oh shoot, your last name on your App and your last name on your PIN don't match. Go apply for a new PIN.
Me: Futher muckers.
PIN site: I will fuck your shit up.
Me: Yeah, I know...
PIN site: Click here to apply for a PIN.... fill in all this information... and this... enter your SSN 6 times... oh wait, it looks like you already have a PIN. You can't do this then. Sorry!
Me: So.... ok back to main menu, how about Update PIN info...
PIN site: Thanks for coming in to update! Change anything but your last name and SSN!
Me: BALLS.
PIN site: If you want to change your name, you'll have to update it with the Social Security Administration. Then after you do that, you'll see rainbows and fairies and puppies and ice cream!! And we'll give you a LOAN! Hooray!!!
Me: .....I did that in JANUARY...
.....
So then, I decide mayhaps I should email their customer service peeps to see what the fug is up. And I get copy & pasted responses THREE SEPARATE TIMES telling me to apply for a new PIN. APPLY FOR A NEW PIN they say.... sheesh, what a clever idea except it's NOTFUCKINGWORKINGSGSHDKFJHKSDF.
::::shoots self in face::::
BALLS. Such an expressive word.
ReplyDeleteI now pay out of pocket for school (oh, Stafford Loans, I miss you so) so I no longer have to deal with that horrible PIN website. I lived in fear of forgetting the damned thing.
Oy, I hear ya. My financial aid has taken so long to get sorted out I have to start school in January rather than last month when I should have started. Balls.
