So I’m 22 and my discover cc statements keep getting mailed to my parents house, I’ve gone paperless but they sent a letter being like we can’t. My parents saw some charges for classes that I paid for with my own money and said I was going to hell (1)

For not asking them first and hiding it from them. This is why I wanted the paperless statements. And my mother won’t let me have private financials, like I’m in the process of doing so but wtf.

Is there any way you can change your mailing address with discover?

Look I’m actually just mad at the fact that discover isn’t letting me go paperless like excuse me, why not, I’m an adult just let me do what I want. Also I’m in the process of becoming independent, like my parents won’t let me leave the house, I have a license but no car and I’m not allowed to drive my parents even though I’m on their insurance, so I can’t have a job, I don’t have a degree yet so it’s bad, I just applied to 100 scholarships and when I get money I’m moving out but until then (1)

Yeah and they said that I can only do it through their app or website, which I did but otherwise they won’t let me do it by call, like their customer service sucks

damn, i really hope it works this time. also it feels illegal to go through someone else’s mail so that’s also crazy in and of itself

I mean my parents pay for my food and housing so ofc they feel that they can go through my mail at any time, and religiously they feel like they own me until I’m married. It’s not the religion it’s the culture associated with religion, my parents get that confused but no. Like it’s illegal for them to go through my mail

gagged. are you planning on getting housing at your college? if so i’d definitely go about getting your parents off your bank account so they don’t retaliate by draining it, but also timing that with move in. this is a very tricky situation and you have ALL of my support

So I’m draining this account cuz I go to college out of state and I don’t have access to the account outside my home state, so when I’m in college. And my parents didn’t let me make another account. So I have a lot of cash on me but I’m looking for a new bank. But my only worry is my credit card, like they can’t spend on it but they can see my charges

gotcha, see if you can change the address to your dorm/apartment in the meantime while you’re trying to get it digital.

A P.O. box might also be an option if you’re willing to pay for it
