@lisamelton It ends. Well, the big stuff ends. The "long tail" seems to go on more or less forever, but I found that I increasingly cared less and less. I mean, drivers license - important, passport - important, voter registration - REALLY important. Random "points" account for some hotel I stayed at years ago? Eh - whatever.

I made a policy for myself and it worked out well for the less important stuff. If I didn't use the unimportant account, I'd close it. If I still used that unimportant account, I'd change the name. If they gave me any grief at all (generally with a "we need to see a copy of your court order") I'd close it instead. If I ever need that account in the future, I’ll just open a new one. It's sort of bizarrely amusing that many companies want a court order to change a name, but it's a-ok to simply close the account and open a new one with the new name.
