Instead, BN waited until I was comfortably in bed and ready to read and instead of enjoying my purchases, I was hit with an unexpected and unpleasant situation.

Then, even after providing requested id information, the situation wasn't cleared up promptly and politely.

But, I can surmise that BN checks forums like these better than its own support messages, because my Nook was working again within thirty minutes of posting this message. Now that's some serious SERM work!

Or that they were folowing their procedures and checking info out to make sure that you were the proper owner and as such could turn the account on again.
