A D’Arcy by any other name would smell as…oh, you know
Heh. Alert Janeite Lisa sent us an article from the Motley Fool financial website by one Cliff D’Arcy that gave us a giggle.
When I first checked my credit report more than a decade ago, I found numerous mistakes. Lenders appear to enjoy mis-spelling my surname (D’Arcy). I’ve been referred to as Mr C D Arcy, Mr Darcey and Mr Diarcy. (Haven’t these people read Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice?)
There, there, Mr. D’Arcy. As long as the name “Wickham” doesn’t appear on your credit report, you should be A-OK!

Hello,
Thanks for picking up on my Motley Fool article on credit reports and the mis-spelling of my surname. The worst mistake I’ve seen is spelling it as “Darsey” — yikes!
All the best,
