Miss/Mrs/Ms - We can call ourselves anything - Yes???

[scaredoflove]

Just been to sign a loan agreement, the paperwork says Ms Married Name as I'm separated, soon to be divorced, when I will revert to Ms Maiden Name. My ID says Mrs Married Name - Just been told that loan may not go through as names are different

They are not different, they have a different prefix. I'm fuming

Do these things really still make a difference today?

If they come back, I will challenge it - anyone know what to say that will make them listen and think?

That's why I'm doing, hocus, still gets in the way when everyone will assume that a 21 year old girl (when first had CRB) is a) divorced and has b) forgotten about it

Def not going to change my name though, all this stuff sounds like a nightmare. Just imagine, men never have to even encounter an expectation that they will change their names!

It drives me mad this stuff.

I call myself Ms (although I wish they had made up a better sounding title) because I don't know what else to use.

I was married, then divorced, then remarried, my last name never changed once, according the this my title should have changed four times by now!

So outdated to change your name these days, keep the same name and title and don't have any problems, just like men do.

spinspinsugar they will probably correct it to nurse...

Even the passport people don't care too much about name chaining unless they have reason to believe you are out to defraud.
