During July my stepmum received an application form for a Barclaycard, addressed to my dad at her address. My dad has a) been dead for 4 years and b) never lived at her address. Me being me, and thinking I was being clever sent it back filled in with such details as his address as 6ft under, Billing Road Cemetery, Northampton, his email address as Rick@heavenorhell.com, his phone number as God Knows and ticked to say he was living with his parents. I did also attach a note to say he was decd and to ask how they had him registered at that address. A few weeks later the form came back, with a letter to say 'he hadn't signed it and the signature box highlighted". This incensed my stepmum, and she wrote to the address on the letter, and when she had heard nothing she tried to ring. She was put on hold for ages and finally ended up with the Fraud Dept who said it was obvious someone was trying to obtain a Barclaycard in my dads name, because of the way the form was completed.
She gave up in disgust and yesterday received a brand new application form for a Barclaycard again addressed to my dad at her address.
I am livid for her now, that they can be so incompetent. It is impossible to speak to anyone, so where do I go from here? Trading Standards? Any suggestions gratefully received.
