Troubleshooting
What if I forget my password? If you cannot
remember your password click on Forgot your
Password? on the login page. You will be
prompted to enter your username and the email
address you used to register an email will be
sent to you with a temporary password. Once you
login, you will be able to change your password
again. If the email address you used to register
is no longer valid, please contact the National
Service Trust at 1-888-507-5962 to have your
record updated with a valid email address. How
will I know what happened to my request once I
have submitted it? You can view the status of
your requests from My Homepage. You will also
be able to view your payment history. How will I
know when a payment has been made? You have the
choice either to receive notification emails or
simply to log in to your account to view the
status of pending requests. The systems default
option is set to send you email notifications of
any change to your account, but you can always
change that in your profile.
