Why I Don't Bother with State Agencies

I was going to list Identity Theft Prevention, but then they're not in California and may not actually exist.

This is the response I received:



A quick scan of the directions for filing a complaint on the website of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Office of Thrift Supervision indicates what a futile task that is. (They don't even offer an online form or email option.)

Thanks, C74. Can you patch me back through to R2D2 now?
