My friend Mark told me his aunt died owing a credit card nothing but after some time their "annual service charge" keep getting added until the balance climbed to $65.39. He called them to report her death and says it went like this: Mark: Calling to tell you this party died CCCo: The account was never closed and the charges still apply. Mark: Maybe you should turn it over to collections. CCCo: It already has been. Mark: What will they do when they find out she's dead? CCCo: Maybe report it to fraud or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both. Mark: Did you get what I was telling you...the part about her being dead? CCCo: Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor. Mark: Calling to tell you this party died. Sup: The account was never closed so late fees and charges still apply. Mark: Against her estate? Sup: Could you fax us a certificate of death? Mark: Sure (fax is sent). Sup: Our system is just not set up for death. Mark: I guess you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care. Sup: I don't know anything else I can do to help. The late fees still apply. Mark: Would you like her new billing address? Sup: That might help. Mark: Odessa Cemetery. Highway 129, plot number 744. Sup: Sir, that's a cemetery. Mark: What do you do with dead people on your planet? ********** Visit Dalton's website http://www.daltonroberts.com
