The lady teller explained that 'in China that (mismatched by a middle name) would constitute a different person'. Maybe so, but what are the chances of another person sharing the same first and surname to have the same account number, at the same bank branch, receiving the exactly same amount of foreign funds on the same day, sent from the same person????????
I am sure she can do complex multiplications faster than a calculator, but can not and will not think outside the 9-dots.
The lady teller insisted on receiving a letter from our foreign bank clarifying that the Kimmie in the wire transfer was indeed the same Kimmie in front of her at the local bank branch.
If I was the person sending the money (surely she wasnt doubting that), why could I not just clarifying that to her, there and then, without msgs flying around the globe. No deal, her work situation would become untenable if she accepted my suggestion!
That same evening I sent a msg to the local bank manager via their online website, asking how it was possible for Kimmie without her middle name to be a different person to Kimmie with her middle name, if her account numbers matched and her account password matched.
I received a reply from the portal coordinator within 2 hours saying she had re-directed my grievance to the Branch Manager. Pretty efficient.
The next morning, I received a call from the local bank branch asking me to bring all proofs of IDs for myself and Kimmie, and proof of our relationship.
End of this episode.
