This just came to me in an email and was too funny but sooo believable not to share.

Cancel your credit card before you die..........

Now some people are really stupid!!!! Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die.

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

A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00 when she died, but now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank.

Here is the exchange:

Family Member: "I am calling to tell you she died back in January."

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

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

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

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

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

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


Citibank: "Excuse me?"

Family Member: "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:

Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a $0 balance."

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


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

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

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

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

Family Member: "Sure." (Fax number was 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."

Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. She won't care."

Citibank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply." (What is wrong with these people?!?)

Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?"

Citibank: "That might help."

Family Member: " Odessa Memorial Cemetery , Highway 129, Plot Number 69."

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

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


(Priceless!!)

lol

I love this.
I know of one lady who attempted suicide (thankfully didn't succeed) who charged a bunch on a certain card because she didn't like their policies and treatment....

At least it was in English.

It's Awesome conversation

I've had similar conversations with National City!!!!

To all the banks who just don't get it......
Here's your sign. Wear it!

sounds exactly like a typical money making credit card company. All they ever care about is collecting their fees. They don't care if you're dead!

How true in the day and age. What would happen if you we stopped credit cards and credit altogeather?

Wal ma$$t would have a fire sale?

In Britian it is illegal to die in the House of Parliment.

"The head of any dead whale found on the British coast automatically becomes the property of the King, and the tail of the Queen"

There are so many directions to run with this one LOL

Heads or Tails....

According to a british law passed in 1845, attempting to commit suicide was a capital offense. Offenders could be hanged for trying.

It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma.

In Michigan, it is illegal to chain an alligator to a fire hydrant.
