I'm from a Ford family, my wife is from a Chevy family. She would be so mad if she saw me post that.

Mahk? Is that you? All I can think about with this comment is Zebra Corner's YouTube channel.

While it's a heck of a headline and something is certainly amiss with the CU letting her know about the underpayments, the article should really have been titled "Nurse's car repossessed after failing to make minimum payment for 36 months in a row."  Otherwise it seems to feed into the paranoia around accepting assistance, and while the audit was conducted after she took assistance, it's not the actual reason the car was repossessed.

 

If she is still paying by check, as a traveling nurse I wonder if her contact information was up to date with the credit union?

I can say this from my personal experience as a travel/contract worker in Healthcare (exact same job type - just different profession):

 

It is a *nightmare* to keep your info up to date. Often times you change jobs every 3 months. I have been lucky to stay in the same region for nearly 3 years (while still being within the rules of the game) and while even being in one area so long, it is a joke getting your mail fowarded.

 

You *cannot* change your permanent residence info, not even temporarily, or it looks like you are taking up residence in the new state you are working your contract in.

 

Especially now during the pandemic, you can just forget getting your mail. I have made 3 requests *each* for new card replacements before actually receiving it (for 4 different cards).

 

My national professional license took over 2 months to receive.

 

Most times you dont even get 30% of your mail via "temporary fowarding".

 

So I can absolutely sympathize with this. It is the worst!

 

Also, I have had friends/family send me my mail previously, but it becomes expensive to do regularly (have to go priority to get tracking), and a hassle to expect people to do this all the time, like forever. 

 

I've also waited until I go home, but you can't always wait that long to get your mail. I also don't trust it just sitting there for who knows how long.

My family is a Ford family as well. However, I love the look of Chevy/GMC trucks. Sorry!

Isn't this why Mail Boxes Etc and a thousand other mail services got started?

 

There's plenty targeting professionals and corporations spefically, find one close to home base and have them sort the issue of either forwarding or a higher tier service for things you care about (business stuff).
