Default CYA, PILGRIM!!!!!!

Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die, just in case

This is 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 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 Citibank:

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

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the late fee 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 the 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 in January."

Citibank: "The account was never closed and the 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 given)

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

Family Member: "Sure." (fax number is 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. I don't think she will care."

Citibank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply."

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?"

When our dad died, my brother and I were going thru his papers notifying the proper folks of his death.

He knew he was dying from cancer so he had everything paid up and even a buyer for the place, a longtime family friend.

He left everything to the both of us and left it up to us to split it as we wished. It was a good plan as there was no jealousy over who got what. We discussed everything and since he has his own repair shop in Gold Beach, Or. he got all the heavy garage stuff and I got some particular hand tools I wanted and some guns.
