I'm having problems with my last name but I am not willing to change it
Hello ****, could you please specify the kind of problems you are facing with your last name? Also, could you please let me know your location so I can provide the most accurate information?
I live in Joplin Missouri. I have giles for jobs online and when I click continue to submit my application it says my last name is invalid. My child is also starting to experience these issues. As I have said I will not change my last name.
Hello ****, this sounds frustrating. In the U.S., it's generally unlawful to discriminate based on one's name under the Civil Rights Act. You may want to:
- Contact the companies directly for a resolution.
- Report the situation to the Missouri Commission on Human Rights if the issue persists.
I have called several lawyers which have told me they have heard nothing like my issue.
Hello ****, that's indeed a unique situation. As your next step, consider:
- Documenting each incident for a potential lawsuit.
- Filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
- Contacting the ACLU of Missouri for further assistance.
Than you
You're welcome, ****. If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to ask. Best of luck with your situation.
