[QUOTE="Andy, post: 353245, member: 5096"] Another thing to help prevent future incidents is to switch your home mailing address for ALL your mail to a locked post office box with strict instruction to the postmaster that daughter is NEVER to pick up the mail. I know that this may be a great inconvience, however, it may prevent her access to not just bank cards but every important piece of mail you get. I am wondering if she has applied for the card in your name and watched for it to come - taking one of those thousands of credit card soliciations we get each year through the mail and completed it under your name? If not, she easily can so make sure those items get shredded so she doesn't go through the garbage looking for them. Who knows how much other important papers she has intercepted? You don't want her getting her hands on your bank statements or anything important that comes through the mail. Ask your banks to call you if she ever tries to withdraw funds. I would think a flag on your account for the teller to check for an ID before distributing the funds would be acceptable to the bank if you live in a large town where tellers don't know their customers. Even in our small town, tellers look at the balance on the computer before distriubuting funds. There should be a way to flag accounts for various reasons to get the teller to look at a comment box. I was surprised one year when our small town bank allowed me to transfer funds from an account I didn't have access to one I did within an organization that I was treasurer for. We didn't realize I had not been put on all the accounts. Mistakes do happen, all we can do is tighten security whereever possible. Make it a habit to change your PIN numbers every month or so, just to make it harder for her to figure those out. [/QUOTE]
