Ready For This One?

Here is the letter Joe received today from CHASE:

Dear Joseph s. B_____:

As your credit card comapny, it is important to us to provide you with timely information regarding your credit card account.

After careful consideration, we have elected not to renew your account. The principal reasons for our decision are as follows:

Consumer was reported as "deceased" at credit bureau

Consumer was reported as "deceased" at credit bureau

You can receive a free copy of your credit bureau report from this agency if you request it within 60 days of receiving this letter.

I love how they claim to be getting to him in a timely manner! WTF?

That's just sh*tty.

What is the point of sending a letter like that, anyway??? Salt in the wound kind of thing?

I'm sorry you had to get something like that.

I haven't gotten anything like that in a while. But I still get stuff addressed to Jack...and I don't think they mean my 5yo! Strange too, because Big Jack never lived at this address.

Sigh...

That sucks and I am so sorry that you have to get that mail.

We get mail for my inlaws, who have never lived any where near us.

AARP, among others love my house and it is freaky the mail we get addressed to them.

That makes you want to send them back some messed up letter in response doesn't it? Or maybe that is just the sick me? ;)

(Just want to give you some levity on the mail situation, not that it makes it any better.)

BTW my sister's cousin's neighbor's husband died when he received a letter in the mail from a credit company.

I'm with Queen Kristi. This sort of stuff up elicits a desire to respond in kind. My immediate thought is to request proof of death to prove their claim. How many times have we had to prove our husband is dead when we need some paperwork changed? It's their turn!

Are you kidding me, what is wrong with people. They don't even have a proper letter to address their reason for not renewing. You should respond with a letter stating they could take five minutes to draft a proper letter.

That's lamer than the lamest thing Lamey McLameface did when he lived in North Lameborough

They probably have to send letters like that in case the recipient isn't dead, because I'm sure that happens too. I just wish they could draft a letter that was more sensitive. At least you know nobody is stealing his identity and using his credit.

What I want to know is who actually put that letter in an envelope? I can see the computer spitting that out, but doesn't somebody read what they send?????????????????

I still get letters addressed to my father- he died over 4 years ago and never lived here. A friend finally got rid of pesky letters from her deceased husband's credit card when she finally, in desperation, sent in a change of address that was for the local cemetary. She never got another letter from that company!
