		<description><![CDATA[What I always find hilarious is the fact that in a world where we have so much innovation and amazing technology and where we can send men up to the moon...we can&#039;t seem to fix a minor misunderstanding in the computer system. It&#039;s like with other things...we can heal someone of cancer, do a heart transplant, but we can&#039;t make a wart disappear instantaneously or heal the common cold.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This just goes to show how in control media are over our lives. You couldn’t even purchase a house or get a loan because they computer system decided you were dead. It was terrible that it couldn’t be fixed automatically. The company chose to believe the computer over the actual person (you) who had all the information proving you were, in fact, alive!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jim, By brother Barry went through this same scenario, but with his military retirement and the Social Security Administration... Seems tht during a &quot;computer upgrade&quot; they &#039;killed&#039; about 85,000 vets! Working through personal contacts, he was able to find what actually happened, but had to do some of the same things you are doing albeit w/o the call center routings.
Glad to know you are alive etc.

		<description><![CDATA[I would conspire to commit fraud, ie shopping sprees, on my deceased alter ego&#039;s credit. I think I would have a chance of getting away with it. 

My defense would be Capital One told me I was dead, so I believed them. And how am I supposed to know that the afterlife isn&#039;t a mall?]]></description>
