Before you die, Cancel those credit cards lulz

[DriDDeRz]

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is so priceless and so easy to see happening - customer service, being what it is today!

A lady died this past January, and ANZ bank 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 somewhere around $60.00.

A family member placed a call to the ANZ Bank:

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

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

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

ANZ:
'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?'

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

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

ANZ:
'Excuse me?'

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

ANZ:
'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.'

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

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

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

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

ANZ:
'Could you fax us a certificate
of death?'

Family Member:
'Sure.'
(fax number is given)

After they get the fax:
ANZ:
'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.'

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

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

ANZ:
'That might help.'

Family Member:
' Rookwood Memorial Cemetery ,
1249 Centenary Rd, Sydney Plot Number
1049.'

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

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

LOL All most people care about is money. They could give a fuck about anything else.....

 

[HorrorT]

Omg are people really that stupid, what is this world coming to lol, The nephew is hilarious

 

[rz3300]

Well you can keep billing her...thats a good one. It does kind of tell you about a nasty thing that can happen though and that people are just out for their money and if they can have a reason to get it then they will. Words for the wise, I suppose.

This gave me a big laugh, enjoyed reading it. But in seriousness, a dead person is freed of his debts. Do you know that some people here are abusing that law? When a family member is dying, they use the credit card to purchase so when the card owner dies, there is no need to pay for the purchases. But if you have a conscience, I don't think you will be doing that.

Totally disturbing! Companies don't care about life and death, just collecting!!!
