The following "joke" just goes to show you how the greedy bank will go out of their way the screw the common hardworking people of out every frickin penny they can get their greedy paws on. The following is not my story but was copied from an email. <br /> <br /> <br />READERS STORY <br /> <br />My Aunt died this past January. Citi Bank billed her <br />for February and March for their monthly service <br />charge on her credit card, and then added late fees <br />and interest on the monthly charge...the balance had <br />been $0.00... now was somewhere around $60.00) <br /> <br />I placed the following phone call to CitiBank: <br /> <br />Me: "I am calling to tell you that she died in <br />January." <br /> <br />CitiBank: "The account was never closed and the late <br />fees and charges still apply." <br /> <br />Me: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections..." <br /> <br />CitiBank: "Since it is 2 months past due, it already <br />has been." <br /> <br />Me: "So, what will they do when they find out she is <br />dead?" <br /> <br />CitiBank: "Either report her account to the frauds <br />division, or report her to the credit bureau...maybe <br />both!" <br /> <br />Me: "Do you think God will be mad at her?" <br /> <br />CitiBank:"...excuse me .?" <br /> <br />Me: "Did you just get what I was telling you.... the <br />part about her being dead?" <br /> <br />CitiBank: "Sir, you'll have to speak to my <br />supervisor!" <br /> <br />(Supervisor gets on the phone) <br /> <br />Me: ''I'm calling to tell you, she died in January." <br /> <br />CitiBank: "The account was never closed and the late <br />fees and charges still apply." <br /> <br />Me: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?" <br /> <br />CitiBank: ".....(stammer)" .... "Are you her <br />lawyer?" <br /> <br />Me: "No, I'm her great nephew." (Lawyer info given... <br />) <br /> <br />CitiBank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?" <br /> <br />Me: "Sure." ( Fax number is given ) <br /> <br />( After they get the fax. ) <br /> <br />CitiBank: "Our system just isn't setup for death..." <br /> <br />Me: "Oh..." <br /> <br />CitiBank: "I don't know what more I can do to help..." <br /> <br />Me: "Well... if you figure it out, great! If not, you <br />could just keep billing her...I suppose...don't really <br />think she will care...." <br /> <br />CitiBank: "Well...the late fees and charges do still <br />apply." <br /> <br />Me: "'Would you like her new billing address?" <br /> <br />CitiBank: "That might help." <br /> <br />Me: " ( Odessa Memorial Cemetery #### Hwy 129 and plot <br />number given. ) <br /> <br />CitiBank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!" <br /> <br />Me: "What do you do with dead people on your <br />planet?!!" <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
