O.T. Customer Service??

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die.

This is just so priceless, and so easy to see happening, customer service
being what it is today.

A relative died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February
and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then
added
late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00,
now is was somewhere around $60.00.

I placed a call to Citibank: Me: "I am calling to tell you that she died
in January."

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges
still apply."

Me: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."

Citibank: "Since it is 2 months past due, it already has been."

Me: So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"

Citibank: "Either report her account to the frauds division or report her
to the credit bureau, maybe both!"

Me: "Do you think God will be mad at her?"

Citibank: "Excuse me?"

Me: "Did you just get what I was telling you--The part about her being
dead?"

Citibank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor."

Supervisor gets on the phone:

Me: "I'm calling to tell you, she died in January."

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fees and charges
still apply."

Me: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"

Citibank: (Stammer). "Are you her lawyer?"

Me: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given)

Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"

Me: "Sure." (Fax number is given)

After they get the fax:

Citibank: "Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I
can do to help."

Me: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep
billing her. I don't think she will care."

Citibank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply."

Me: "Would you like her new billing address?"

Citibank: "That might help."

Me: "Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Hwy 129, plot number 69."

Citibank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"

Me: "What do you do with dead people on your planet?"

It is actually quite hard to tell some organisations that someone has
died... especially if it's you.

 

Aido: "Oh, that's good advice."
Cam: "Pretty good."
Aido: "I wish somebody'd tell me that."

Had a very similar thing happen after my Sister died ,we got a phone
bill from Telstra which we paid ,then we tried to close the account .
We were told that only she could close the account .

Same deal, almost.

 

Sorry guys, I was bored. :/>
