Apparently Patient Records are under the really stupid impression that in order for them to change the name they have for you, you have to ( Read more... )

Bloomin' doctor's surgery still has me under oldname ( Read more... )

So after the dentist (no fillings mum), I popped along to my GPs to pick up my NHS card. The receptionist I'd dealt with last time was clueless when it came to name changes, and she hadn't photocopied my Statutory Declaration. Her colleague told me they needed to take a copy and fax it to the PCT. So I walked back to my flat, picked up the stat dec ( Read more... )

Flipping name-change admin! I am flipping sick of it! The NHS won't accept my name change until I've got my doctor to tell them about it, and it's just another admin task that I could do without. I forgot about my NHS card that I left with my GPs receptionist to have filled in by the doctor, I'll pick it up later today and sort it out. I hope I don ( Read more... )

In other name-change news, my Primary Care Trust¹ still doesn't have me down by my legal name a year after I informed them of my legal name change. I gave them a copy of my Statutory Declaration and everything! I'm going to complain.

¹ An administrative part of the National Health Service.

I was at Nationwide for 40 minutes or so. It was sort of ok, but I resent having to prove my tranniness in order to have my title changed to Mr. I showed them the only letter I have from Dr Curtis, which is really flipping personal; I didn't want to pay extra to get him to write a simple letter, I figured it was worth using the original letter to ( Read more... )

I usually don't like watching little videos on the Internet, but I liked this one (safe for work) that appeared on LondonistIn other news, extreme credit have decided to not be wankers who break the law (Statutory Declarations Act 1835 to be precise). However they woke me up with their phonecall and I feel pretty groggy. I did need to get up though ( Read more... )

Bloody extreme credit (who I have a pre-paid debit card with) won't accept statutory declaration for name change. They demand deed poll. Now, as far as I'm aware, under the Data Protection Act they have to use correct information about me, and a statutory declaration is good enough for a name change. I'm waiting for head office to call me back. ( Read more... )

Nationwide are messing with my mind.

First: namechange accepted, but 'no title' declined... cards get sent to Ms Nye lastname.

Second: Mr accepted by reception desk monkey who says the system doesn't accept no title, more cards get sent to Mr Nye lastname ( Read more... )

Argh, so Nationwide want me to prove my medical transness in order to be allowed to be called Mr [last name]. Frelling great. The branch manager asked if I had a letter from my doctor to prove that I'm receiving treatment for gender dysphoria (she didn't put it in those words, but that was what she meant)... I said no. She asked me 'Are you sure?' ( Read more... )
