PBArmy

I am a fulltimer and I always claim the interest paid on my RV loan on my taxes. I refinanced the installment loan on my RV last year. Should I consider that the same as a mortgage refi on my taxes this year?

You are correct. Thanks! I don't really want to disconnect it just to eliminate the "noise" as it takes too long to "power" back up!

Thanks, Y'All!

I hear my satellite "searching" for signal in the middle of the night. I'm not watching TV, the Wally is OFF, but the Winegard is "moving." Anyone else experience this?

Thanks again. I've done the same thing # [xxxx] Very interesting. And yes, I'm in a motorhome, so I don't use USAA/Progressive.

Rob, I've explained my situation to them as well. But this is the 2nd time in 6 months that I've received this request for a physical address. What have you done differently? Thanks in advance!

Good to know. Thanks, Mark and Teri.

I do appreciate everyone's comments. Not sure why it turned snarky (a sign of the times, I guess.) Perhaps other fulltimers like myself will eventually face this dilemma as it is not a USAA stance, it's a Patriot Act issue. So after reading all your comments again, I've decided that I will add my winter address as a physical address, keep my Dakota Post address as my mailing address, and simply change the physical address if/when I change my winter location. Hopefully that will meet the requirement, and not generate too many questions from USAA. Thanks again, safe travels, and stay healthy everyone! Again, here's what you may encounter: But I hope you do not! "Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act requires USAA Federal Savings Bank to obtain, verify and record personal data such as your name, address, date of birth, Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number and other information that allows us to identify you. You have been identified as requiring a valid physical, residential address. The physical address must not be a P.O. Box or other mail-receiving address (commonly referred to as Commercial Mail Receiving Agency), even if it appears as a street address. This is separate from your mailing address, which may be a P.O. Box or commercial address. Your physical address and mailing address do not need to be the same. Mail will continue to be delivered to your listed mailing address."

First of all, USAA is not ONLY my car insurance provider. It has been my banking, investing, and auto for over 40 years. I WILL NOT insure my RV with USAA because they contract out to Progressive (George Soros, etc) I DO NOT feel comfortable lying about my address. I DO NOT want to change my address. I think this is a RIGHTS issue. Perhaps I need to call an attorney? Escapees recommended one.

I don't use PMB either! Just #4441 for my "box" Got the email today. Yours is coming!!

I've been with USAA for over 40 years. But now they claim that the Patriot Act precludes them from doing business with me due to my PMB in Sioux Falls, SD (that I have had for over 7 years.) Here's the gist: "What You Need to Know Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act requires USAA Federal Savings Bank to obtain, verify and record personal data such as your name, address, date of birth, Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number and other information that allows us to identify you. You have been identified as requiring a valid physical, residential address. The physical address must not be a P.O.
