I'm in the process of extending my visa and I realized my bank account got frozen.
I went over to the bank with all my documents and a literal explanation from my lawyer about the situation and they basically said "ah well you're shit out of luck mate. We sent you a letter a few months ago (that I didn't get) and you didn't send it back so you're gonna have to tough it out until you get your new card buddy." because fuck a phone call in 2025 right.
Ok fine. I'm not that mad because I do have cash. But what am I supposed to expect next?
My auto payments won't go through so my wifi and phone bill are gonna get stuck. My friends say that they'll mail you the bills if you can't pay them on time so I can pay that through with cash.
For my rent I'm already talking to my real estate about it and theoretically it's fine as long as I can wire them the money.
Electric and gas are regular pay slips so I can pay that with cash as well.
Is there something I'm missing? Will I suddenly die or something? Am I crazy? Is anyone else in this position?
