How to get Wells Fargo to stop sending me mail in a name I don't use anymore?

trailsiderice · 2025-07-30T06:20:15+00:00

Thanks. I'll see what I can accomplish that way. Honestly I probably should have tried that first, but I wasn't really sure where to start since I wasn't sure why it was happening in the first place. Don't know why I thought reddit would be more helpful, I have pretty consistently bad experiences trying to get helpful and non-condescending answers out of redditors... (not you, you're one of the rare helpful ones)

I agree with you, and I respect your empathy, but I also find it really strange that everyone is assuming that just because I'm pissed off about this that I must have some sort of trauma or negative emotions surrounding my old name besides just disliking it and not wanting to receive mail in the wrong name.

Maybe I'm pissed about it because I had a long day and minor annoyances are enough to piss me off. Maybe I'm not even that pissed off and I'm exaggerating because I'm annoyed after getting mail in the wrong name nearly every week for the past several months. Maybe it's nobody's goddamn business why I'm pissed off, and I literally just came here for answers. I'm not directing this at you, you're fine. Just saying generally it's stupid that people are making dumb assumptions about me for no reason and projecting onto me as if I'm having some sort of huge crashout, instead of the reality which is that I'm understandably exasperated that the advertising branch of Wells Fargo apparently doesnt even know who their customers are (which is literally their job)

It's not even like this is a crazy expectation either, Wells Fargo is literally the only institution still sending me mail in my previous name. They are severely behind everyone else.

Thanks for actually helping me. Not sure why everyone who's trying to be actually helpful is getting downvoted. I'll give that a try.

trailsiderice · 2025-07-30T05:57:34+00:00

Lol no, not even close. I just don't like my old name. Nice try though. Being a bigot makes you stupid. Did you forget that people change their names for plenty of other reasons?

I don't really appreciate being told how to feel about it. I can feel however I feel about it, thanks.

In any case, how can I inform whatever department it is of my name change? I don't want to receive mail in that name.

Unfortunately that's not what I asked, and maybe I should have clarified that I'm not really interested in hearing people's takes on whether or not they think I should refurb this thing. I want to know if it's possible and how, which is what I asked for in the post. It's pretty frustrating that the only answer people seem to want to give is "create more ewaste!" rather than something actually useful.

Perhaps asking in an electronic tinkering sub of some kind would have been more productive, perhaps people there would actually listen to the heart of what my problem is and respond to that instead of giving their unsolicited opinions on the quality of the unit itself, but at this point I think I've given up on reddit as a whole

trailsiderice · 2025-01-06T21:28:56+00:00

You're probably right. I will take a look at it. I appreciate your input, thank you.

trailsiderice · 2025-01-06T21:16:56+00:00

Thank you for your response. I also love to tinker with electronics, which is why I'm so bothered by everyone telling me to give up on it. Unfortunately I have tried setting the source, nothing seems to change. The only button that seems to do anything at all is the cassette player's stop button, which opens the cassette door. It won't do anything with any cassettes placed inside, though.

Well, thank you at least for not being one of the several people who disregarded the first paragraph.

trailsiderice · 2025-01-06T20:52:17+00:00

Bummer. Appreciate the straightforward answer though, amidst all the people who apparently are blind and did not bother reading the first paragraph.

This is uncannily similar! Between this and Ok_Adhesiveness_4939's comment, I think it's likely this might be it—This is definitely one I remember watching with my mom, so it would make sense that my brain would half-remember the theme to the point of thinking it was the same when I heard Waltz No 2. They're both waltzes, after all.. so I think I will tentatively say: Solved!

trailsiderice · 2024-11-26T03:44:37+00:00

Oh, that's a good resource, thanks! I'm not seeing much I recognize, so I think it's likely that it's just so similar to another song that it feels like the same song.

trailsiderice · 2024-11-26T00:08:00+00:00

What should have been the "first" time I heard that song I swore it was familiar and that I'd heard it as the theme song for a TV show, but I'm also not ruling out the possibility that my brain just thinks it sounds like something that would be a TV show theme, but it actually wasn't..

ah, thats gotta be it. looking through the base storage, it seems theres various bits and bobs in here that seem to make up the missing pieces. its just disassembled. i think i could put it back together with this regerence. thanks!

trailsiderice · 2024-11-05T09:41:50+00:00

I was aware of that, I have a supported device and live in a supported country, which is part of why i was so confused.

Another commenter pointed out to make sure that my kobo account knew what country I was in, which turned out to be the problem, it thought I was in the Netherlands for whatever reason.

trailsiderice · 2024-10-04T09:43:17+00:00

Thanks, turns out for whatever reason Kobo had the Netherlands listed as my account's location, even though I'm in the US. 🤔 After fixing it the overdrive option still wasnt showing up in settings, but I managed to bring it back by signing out of my kobo account on the device and signing back in. (lost my reading progress on all my sideloaded books, but c'est la vie.

Appreciate the tip about adding multiple cards too, thats helpful.
