An Alberta senior says a mistake made on her affordability grant application will cost her much-needed funds from the province. As TomasiaDaSilva reports, she says she’s not even to blame for the mistake.
Senior Roxanna Wright told Global News the last few months have been very hard for her family, so when the opportunity came to apply for the payments — she jumped on it.“We’re living on our pensions and I’m just trying to keep everything together,” she said. “That $1,200 — even $100 a month — would pay a bill.”, she decided to go to her local registry for help.“Then about a week ago, I started looking on my application and it said, ‘Banking info, account ending in 03’.
Wright said her local bank branch confirmed the error. But, she said when she went back to the registry, she was told no one was able to help her fix it.“I took my cheque book out, which I had presented in the beginning, and showed her. I said, ‘That is not my account number.’ She said, ‘It is your account number and I’ve been doing it for everybody.'”“And I said, ‘You may have just cost us $1,200.
