Hello - need a bit of advice
I opened an alt account with my partner with their real name, but only I use the account now. I want to add payment information to that alt as it's the only one I really use now. I already have an account with credit card paytment info but I only use that account to buy lindens for the alt.
if i used the same card to add payment details for the alt would there be any problems with the fact the real name on the alt account differed to the real name on the credit card? I don't want to lose the alt but want to be age verified/be able to only use the alt as a main account. the mismatch in real name/credit card already being used by my main account worries me in case the alt gets closed down?

any advice welcomed.

PS can you use driving license for age verification in the UK?

thanks.

If anybody asks say you got married and changed your name.

Pep (Or that you are an actress/author and used your stage/pen name)

it has been my experience that there is no relationship made between the info you used to signup with and your payment info. payment info details are what they use to id verify me when i log into live support. i dont think the info i gave at signup has ever manifested itself over the years.

Beth, they have stated that payment info on file will constitute verification, so there is no need to hand over any other details that could possibly be used or sold on without your knowledge.
