Not that I was turned down, but the fact I was sent the notice in the first place. I received a notice in the mail, as did my neighbors, from our trash collection service, stating that if you qualified for reduced electric rates for low-income individuals by submitting our electric bill with the program noted on the bill, we could also receive reduced trash pickup rates. So, I sent in my electric bill with a note, as instructed in their letter, requesting that my trash pickup be reduced. I received a phone call today stating that I was turned down because I live in the town, not elsewhere in the county. The program applies to the rest of the county, but not in our town. My question is, why did they send out all these notices about the program to us in the town who do not qualify? I also want to know why all the other towns in the county are eligible, but ours is not, when all the trash goes to the same place. As the reduction in rates is only two dollars, it's not worth my energy to conduct further research.
I don't know how things work in the US, but here something like that would probably be due to the Town Council not buying into a service. Annoying that you got the letter when it isn't being offered though.
Organisations requiring me to update my safeguarding training whose websites then won't allow me to access said training even after a password reset...I had set aside today to complete the training before going to NZ for the best part of a month to visit my daughter!
I've had that one too @MrsBeaky. It was compounded by them wanting to send details of how to reset the password to an email address I didn't have access to as I was a volunteer not a member of staff.

My diocese has sent an email this week advising that they have had a data breach affecting all those who sent in their personal data for safeguarding checks within a certain period (I think this is mainly lay readers, church wardens and musicians). I don’t know how serious this is but I’m not impressed!
I had an email from my choir, informing me of a revamped website and inviting me to log in with a temporary password. (I checked the sender and was satisfied it was genuine. ) The password provided had an o, O and 0! Several attempts to log in failed, so I emailed the website manager. He replied that the new website has not yet gone live, and that the email must have been prematurely autogenerated, so I should ignore it. Sigh.

If you’re in England it’s not just your diocese. At least ten dioceses which use the services of APCS for safeguarding management are affected. Church Times report.
