The balance had been Rs.0.00 when she died, but now somewhere around Rs.6000.00. A family member placed a call to ICICI Bank. Here is the exchange :
Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you she died back in January.' ICICI Bank: 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member: 'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections. ' ICICI Bank: '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?' ICICI Bank: 'Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!' Family Member: 'Do you think God will be mad at her?' ICICI Bank: 'Excuse me?' Family Member: 'Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?' ICICI Bank: 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.' Supervisor gets on the phone: Family Member: 'I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a Rs.0 balance.' ICICI Bank: 'The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member: 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?' ICICI Bank: (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?' Family Member: 'No, I'm her great nephew.' (Lawyer info was given) ICICI Bank: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?' Family Member: 'Sure.' (Fax was given ) After they got the fax : ICICI Bank: '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. She won't care.' ICICI Bank: 'Well, the late fees and charges will still apply.' (What is wrong with these people?!?) Family Member: 'Would you like her new billing address?' ICICI Bank: 'That might help...' Family Member: Odessa Memorial Cemetery , Avinashi, Coimbatore ICICI Bank: 'Sir, that's a cemetery!' Family Member: 'And what do you do with dead people on your planet???'
