What is the name of your state? TX
This is hilarious ...
My step dad was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 8/05. I moved he and my mom to my home town, just 3 doors down, so that my wife and I could look after them.
At thier old home, they had Cox cable.
I called and requested termination of service on the 10th of November, 2005. My step father's account paid the October bill on the 16th of November.
He gets another bill from Cox for the month of November.
Jim passes away mid December.
On the advice from my attorney, I write "Deceased" on the envelopel, insert it and a copy of the death certificate and return the bill.
Now is where it gets funny ...
I get a phone call from Stacy at Cox Cable. She explains that they have recieved my step father's death certificate, but that does not relieve him from paying the bill of $20.xx
I literally laughed outloud at her.
I told her that he was dead and she repeated that that didn't excuse him from paying this debt.
I asked if she understood what "dead" meant and she again repeated ...
I explained that him being dead meant that he would be unable to write a check and that he no longer has any income because he's DEAD.
She was a recording.
I told her I could give her his new address if she wanted it.
repeat.
I told her that any future correspondence should be in writing. I hung up the phone.
It was mind boggling ...
