Problems I've never had

[nonionay]

I was awakened this morning by a call from my bank, saying that a check was deposited and endorsed by Elizabeth, but was made out to Lisa. "So could you have Lisa sign it and--"
Me: "I am Lisa"
Them: "Oh...well your voice mail says "Elizabeth and Lisa"...so we think it's a separate person."
Me: Crap. "I go by both, so it's like that to avoid confusion." So much for avoiding confusion.
Them: "Do you have ID?"

So yeah, my bank thinks I'm committing check fraud.
I just have to get my boss to re-write the check in my legal name, which she, of course, never calls me.
Ten years with WAMU, this never happened. I guess it's a good thing my new bank's vigilant.

You can have them add a "note" to your account, which pops up when you account is accessed by a teller, that says "customer also goes by Lisa." I had Wecu do it years ago since my family still calls me by my middle name, and I rarely go by my full length first name, though my account is under my full length first name.

Oh, good. I was hoping something like that could happen.
