Sounds like something from Private Eye's "Funny Old World" section.

I like the bit where the Abbey "couldn't understand the problem".... Smile

When Mrs Welsby initially complained in April, the bank phoned her on 11 May to apologise and said it would investigate.

On 25 May she received a standard letter saying an inquiry would take four weeks.

But on 23 June she received another letter from Abbey saying it was not sure it "understood the problem".

Typical banking efficiency. What's not to understand about the problem of being classified as dead when you are if fact alive?
