Yeah me too got 3 texts/emails within a week. The last was on May 30th. I was hoping to get another letter on the mail with that date. Let's see what happens.

I actually spoke with them yesterday and they told me to call back today since I wasn't outside the processing time frame as of yesterday. However now I am 1 day over the processing time so Im supposed to call today and complain so they can do a service request. Aww this really sucks. Hope to have some good news by the end of this week atleast :-)
