    :thumb::D This is Brill'...!!!!:D:D


    Only in Ireland !!!!


    Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is sopriceless And so easy to see happening - customer service, being what it istoday!A lady died this past January, and MBNA bank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and Then addedlate fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance that had been £0.00, now is somewhere around £60.00.A family member placed a call to the MBNA Bank:

    Family Member:'I am calling to tell you that she died in January.'

    MBNA:'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges stillapply.'

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

    MBNA:'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?'

    MBNA:'Either report her account to the frauds division or report her to Thecredit bureau, maybe both!'

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

    MBNA:'Excuse me?'

    Family Member:
    'Did you just get what I was telling you .. . . The part about herbeing dead?'

    MBNA:'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.' Supervisor gets on the phone:



    Family Member:
    'I'm calling to tell you, she died in January.'

    MBNA:
    'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still
    apply.'

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

    MBNA:
    (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?'

    Family Member:
    'No, I'm her great nephew.'

    (Lawyer info given)
    MBNA:
    'Could you fax us a certificate of death?'

    Family Member:
    'Sure.'




    ( fax number is given )

    After they get the fax:





    MBNA:
    'Our system just isn't set up 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.I don't think she will care.'

    MBNA:
    'Well, the late fees and charges do still apply.'

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




    MBNA:
    'That might help.'

    Family Member:
    ' Glasnevin Cemetery, Finglas Road , Dublin11, Ireland , Plot Number
    1049.'

    MBNA:
    'Sir, that's a cemetery!'




    Family Member:
    'Well, what the *************** do you do with dead people on your planet?'

    :D

    Not only in Ireland it happens in Berwick upon Tweed too
    When my Grandfather died very suddenly my Father went to the local council offices to inform them of his death and to give up the tennancy of his house. He was told that my Grandfather should have given them a months notice as this was what the council expected. He was also asked for Granddads forwarding address to which he replied "it will be either Heaven or Hell you'll have to work that out for yourselves ":rolleyes:
