As someone who uses his middle name, I've experienced only the tiniest bit of what you've gone through, but I can imagine your annoyance. It's amazing how massive systems often have no viable process for "As an end user, some of the data in the system is incorrect, and I would like to get it corrected." Once it's in the system via the setup process, it's there. And most people down the line working with it don't even know what system it's originally coming from. Edit: F.ex. if someone lied about their age when getting their Social Security # (this before issue-at-birth, so it had to be applied for in person), so as to be considered old enough to work, and then decades later wanted to set the record straight to avoid collecting benefits at too young an actual age, they would probably be told by a Social Security employee that doing so was more trouble than it was worth. ... Hypothetically speaking.
