People working in this office are HORRIBLE. I have called the office MANY MANY times, leaving many messages, looking for Erin, the women who processed my application for my daughters name change on her card. It was sent to the wrong address due to a mistake on my part as I was living in a hotel while she was in the hospital and I relocated to a cheaper hotel, never changing the address on the original application. I have NEVER received a callback. I need to know if I need to fill out a new application, do I need her medical records, is her name changed in the system, among other things. I called to speak to a supervisor and the man that answered was the rudest person I have EVER spoken to. He REFUSED to let me speak with a supervisor. He told he me that he never would have processed my app because I didn’t have my daughters medical record with the app however I was told from someone at that very office, only a license and her birth certificate was necessary to get her last name changed. When I tried to ask him for more info about it, he cut me off and transferred me to Erins voicemail once again. I have no way of knowing if her name was ever even changed. I don’t know what’s going on at all and no one will tell me. The man also hung up point blank on my mother when she tried to get answers. He should be fired. I’ve never been so frustrated and I don’t know what makes them think they can just treat people or ignore them the way they do with something so important! What can I do?

I just need to change my phone number please. My new phone number is 765-969-8394. I called Friday to have it changed and the social security administration set up my direct Express card. The representative did not call direct Express to change it and I should receive my Benefits on the 1st of June. 2021. My new phone number is 765-969-8394. I would appreciate
if a representative could call direct Express as soon as possible. I recently started receiving disability and Social security administration set my account up. Thank you

In fact, in order to get such a document, you need to write a lot of applications and even essays. I have already had to do it myself, so I can share my experience. I am not a master at writing various texts and complicated conceptual stories. That’s why it was easier for me to find a list of such companies at https://onlinewritersrating.com/ and ask them directly for help. So I hope I was able to help and it was useful to someone.
