This is the stuff of nightmares – not to mention enormous frustration and possible stomach ulcers. If you have an apostrophe in your name – like many of Irish descent do – you may find it impossible to board an airplane in the coming months. Why? Because airline computers can’t print an apostrophe on the boarding pass, the name on your boarding pass will not exactly match the name on your driver’s license or passport.

Bank error to blame for withdrawn pension payments

Some 53,000 UFT retirees who rely on electronic pension payments had funds
involuntarily withdrawn from their accounts on Nov. 6, causing all sorts
of grief for those counting on the money. The Bank of New York Mellon,
which is the transferring agent for the funds, erroneously reversed the
October benefits payments to retirees paid through electronic fund
transfer.

“We’re outraged. This is unacceptable,” said UFT President Michael
Mulgrew. “We have been on top of this since the calls first started coming
in early Friday morning and we will continue to work until all of our
members have been made whole. Our first priority is to get all of the
money back into our members’ accounts.”

The risks of this happening have been thrashed out before. What disturbs me even more here is that the recipient banks simply allowed this wholesale clawback.

Given the dangers of someone even less scrupulous then this player doing, well, the exact same thing… one would have hoped that part of the banking security profiles on ACH transfers would include “circuit breakers” which would get tripped on any demand of this many accounts.
