Hello, thank you for calling xxx. How may I help you?
Hi. I have just bought this house from my dead mother’s estate and I need to change the billing details to my name.
So you want your name on the account?
I want my mother’s name off the account and it in my name since I own the house now.
*give account no*
Are you listed on the account as an authorised contact?
No, I don’t expect to be on the account as an authorised person – when I rang a few months ago to tell you the bill would be late no one would speak to me because I wasn’t my dead mother.
*She goes off to find out about changing the account over*
Are you there?
Yes
Is [mother’s name] there with you now?
(Yes but spelling everything out on the Ouija board is making my arms tired so please confine your questions to yes/no answers!)
No, she’s dead. (I mean how many clues did you need to figure that out?)
Oh. One moment please.
A bit later she returns, asks me to fax through a copy of the death certificate or a notice from the paper and says it will all be fixed.
Which is different from the guy who would not speak to me a few months back when I wanted a 2 week extension on an account and advised me to go in to see them with a letter from my solicitor, copy of the will etc etc. Apparently it would be illegal for him to discuss the account with me. I said I didn’t want to discuss it, just put a note on it that it would be paid in a fortnight. No can do he said. So sorry, not spending $$$ on solicitors fees to tell you I don’t get paid till the end of the month. Feel free to spend more money and time sending me overdue notices.
