Just had some news (on the phone) re my Mate John who died last Wednesday, Coroner has found a cousin up Yorkshire way and 1 of the managers from work had to identify his body on Friday, thought I might have had to do it :eek: :( as he was single and I was his mate and work colleague.

 

RIP John Charles Bye 1945 - 2012

[stevedeccaman]

So sad that RR, poor man working till he dropped dead, as you mentioned before should have retired at 65 and enjoyed some rest whatever. but then as he was single perhaps just liked being at work ?

This is today, you can't even die to rid yourself of debt

that is NO excuse for not paying..

Reported in the Newcastle Evening Chronicle U.K. Recently;

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 September, and Santander bank billed her in October and November for their annual service charges on her credit card, and then in December added late 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 Santander Bank:

 

Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you that my grandma died in September.'

 

Santander 'But the account was never closed and so the late fees and charges still apply.'

 

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

 

Santander ‘Since it is two months over due, it already has been.'

 

Family Member: ‘So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?'

 

Santander : 'Either report her account to the Frauds Department or report her to The Credit bureau, maybe both!'

 

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

Santander: 'Excuse me?'

 

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

 

Santander '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 September.'

Santander: 'But the account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.'

 

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

 

Santander : (Stammer) 'Are you her solicitor?'

 

Family Member: 'No, I'm her son'

 

Santander : 'Could you fax us a death certificate?'

 

Family Member: 'Sure.'

 

( fax number is given )

 

After they get the fax:

 

Santander : '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.'

 

Santander : 'Well, the late fees and charges will still apply.'

 

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

 

Santander : 'That would help.'

 

Family Member: ' Plot 1049.' Heaton Cemetery , Heaton Road , Newcastle upon Tyne

 

Santander: 'But, that's a cemetery!'

 

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

 

Santander were not available for comment when a reporter from the Newcastle Evening Chronicle rang them.

Sorry to hear about your friend Jean :(

Thanks RR. She was an elderly lady but fantastic and great fun. She was a codebreaker at Bletchley Park in the war, the place won't be the same now she's gone. Do you know what your mate died of yet?:)

[Rebel Rouser]

Don't be so soft Stevie..it's life sad but true. Still got the funeral to attend, my mate John would have said get on with life. these last 2 years have so many lows..but I pick myself and and have another go at living the dream :D

 

PS, might have 10 years left, might live till I'm 100 but in between I'm going have a bloody good go at enjoying myself :p 2 - 3 cruise a year.
