Fingerprints Part II

Rate this Entry
I received in the mail today an envelope from our Home Study Agency. I thought they are finally sending me some paperwork that is needed. WRONG!!! Seems one of my fingerprint cards is not acceptable and I have to have it redone.
I have contacted the agency that came to our house and am waiting to find out if I have to pay again. I feel I should not have to pay another fee since it is not my fault the officer messed up. I'm willing to pay for the home visit but not the cost of the fingerprints again.
I guess I should be somewhat happy that at least one of the cards were ok but still. Now I have lost a month in this process.

    This could go a couple of ways. In the Brady Bunch universe the company jets over, redo the prints and hand delivers to agency--all in 6 minutes TV Land time. In Bureaucracyland I would fax a copy of the letter informing you of the botched operation and a polite but quiet plea for correction to the problem. Do NOT mention paying or NOT paying either way. Request a swift resolution as this is causing undue stress and hardship etc. etc. Shoud they seek another fee--bite the bullet--pay up then send the receipt and all documentation to the NEXT level in the operation for consideration of a refund in the spirit of good customer relations. Best to you. Rich

    HA! HA! Brady Bunch Universe - too funny
    Well, I heard back from the agency. Seems 1 in 10 people have their fingerprints rejected and its seen more in women then men. I find that interesting. Anyway, it will cost me another $50 to have it done again. Normally I would fight this charge but I will bite the bullet and pay. The end result far outweighs the addtional $50.
    On the plus side, the guy can come to my house today and do it again.

    I'm not surprised about the fingerprints. I'm glad they are able to come out today! that's really great. I don't blame you for just paying the fifty bucks, it will be worth it.

    I had to have my fingerprints taken for work - it was electronic though - there were no cards involved and it took about 30 minutes of standing to get the machine to accept all ten fingers. The officer would roll my finger over the input device and pressure had to be applied just so, and the finger had to go down on it just the right way --- it was most frustrating.

    Reminds me of a great Rolling Stones song, "Fingerprint File.: Here are the lyrics:

    FINGERPRINT FILE
    (M. Jagger/K. Richards)

    Oh Yeah!...

    Fingerprint file, you get me down
    You keep me running, know my way around. Yes, you do, child
    Fingerprint file, you bring me down
    Keep me running
    You keep me on the ground
    Know my moves
    Way ahead of time
    Listening to me, on your satellite

    Feeling followed
    Feeling tagged
    Crossing water
    Trying to wipe my tracks

    And there's some little jerk in the FBI
    A keepin' papers on me six feet high
    It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down

    You better watch out
    On your telephone
    Wrong number
    They know you ain't home

    And there's some little jerk in the FBI
    A keepin' papers on me six feet high
    It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down..... shoot!

    Who's the man on the corner; that... that corner over there
    I don't know. Well, you better lay low. Watch out

    Keep on the look out
    Electric eyes
    Rats on the sell out
    Who gonna testify
    You know my habits, way a head of time
    Listening to me, on your satellite

    And there's some little jerk in the FBI
    A keepin' papers on me six feet high
    It gets me down, it gets me down, it gets me down
    It gets me down

    Hello, baby, mm-hmm
    Ah, yeah, you know we ain't, we ain't talkin' alone
    Who's listening? Well I don't really know
    But you better tell the SIS to keep out of sight
    'Cause I know they takin' pictures on the ultraviolet light
    Yes, uh huh, yeah, but these days it's all secrecy; no privacy
    Shoot first, that' s right... they know you
    Bye bye.
    Right now somebody is.... listening to...... you
    Keeping their eyes peeled...... on you!
    Mmm, mmm, what a price, what a price to pay
    All right. Good night, sleep tight
