(Insurance & Financial Advisor Web News) -- IFAwebnews.com reports that "when a Canadian woman posted photos of herself on a beach vacation and partying at a Chippendale’s club, the insurance company that had been paying benefits for nearly 18 months because of her inability to work due to major depression found the postings to be anything but 'mundane.'" The insurance company "halted benefits payments to the Quebec woman after an investigation found photos of her in less-than-depressed situations. ... Nathalie Blanchard is fuming because she says that vacations and partying are part of her therapy."

MISSPELLING YOUR NAME ON YOUR AIRLINE TICKET WILL NOW COST YOU $20-$150 OR MORE

American Airlines now charges 20 dollars to process a name correction (misspelled name). Even if you have to change one letter it is $20 bucks. Many people tend to use their nicknames when they buy a ticket and forget that they have to have the ticket match their government issued ID (drivers license or passport). A simple Chris to Kris will cost you $20. Steven to Stephen is $20. Matt to Mathew is also $20. Changing a complete name on most non-refundable tickets is not allowed.
