This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Poor Egg
Used to like Egg. It was the first proper internet banking for the UK.

But I cancelled the credit card as soon as they were bought out and a Barclaycard turned up in the post to replace it. If I wanted a Barclaycard I would have applied for one.

I cancelled my Egg card about four years ago. Recently I've been receiving letters from Barclaycard, saying I have 3p credit on my closed account that they've taken over.
