A tunnel
Got back the SASE I enclosed with the request for
my marriage license today, so that was a nice surprise. About a week earlier
than I expected.
Inside the envelope?
Not so nice. Turns out Philadelphia's web page indicating the fees hasn't been
updated in at least a year. It said I needed to send two $15 checks made out to
different payees. Didn't say who the second one was, so we called, asked about
"the $15 checks" and found out who the second payee was without actually being
corrected about the amount. So today's envelope had my checks and a letter
indicating that I hadn't sent in enough money. And oh, by the way, both checks
are to be made to the payee identified on the web page.
I called for clarification just to
make sure I had everything for attempt #2. What I found out:
1. Actually the letter is wrong about the
payee. Both checks are supposed to be made to the same entity, but not the
letter and web page say. Nor, for that matter, the one we were told on the
phone.
2. They get a lot of complaints about
these errors.
The second request goes
in the mail tomorrow.
