One of the stupidest things I've heard of in a long while: placeholder emails

Jan 25, 2012 18:19

I got my W2 at work today, so I decided to check https://www.myedaccount.com/ to see if my 1098E was ready. I logged in and, hey, there's apparently a message in my inbox! Nice. I opened my message inbox, and sure enough there's a message entitled "Your 1098E Form is available". Sweet. So, I opened the message and was greeted with the following:

"This message is still being processed and is not ready to view. If you have provided the Direct Loan Servicing Center with a valid e-mail address, you will receive a courtesy e-mail notification when this message is available.

Sincerely,

The Direct Loan Servicing Center"

What.

Why.

If there is any purpose whatsoever in putting a placeholder email into someone's inbox to be filled in later, I am sorry but I am not seeing it at all.

(EDIT)

I've found out that I can apparently just click the "Print My Tax Info" link on the main page. Well, if could get logged back in again, I would try that. Right now though, the site just isn't loading at all, even though it was loading fine just a few minutes ago.
