Financially incompetent

Bollocks.

I brought in the proofs of address I needed to send off to get my Amazon credit card, one bank statement and one council tax statement. Except that what I've actually got is my Court Summons for failure to pay council tax, which is hardly the sort of thing one wants to be sending to prospective creditors. Arse. Ooh, and I must ring to ask about payment for the next lot.

Pah ha ha ha ha!

Sorry, but that's really funny.

I did pay it once I got the summons, so I didn't actually have to go to court! And the lady on the other end of the phone was very pleasant about it, even when I accidentally swore down the phone at her.

Ooh, if I wait to pay the next lot until I get my Amazon card, I'll get points! Or I could do the sensible thing and set up a direct debit.

Heh. Accidentally.

Slightly worse than when I was hiring a car and all I could find was some of those nasty reminders printed in red ink. This being car hire the man was very nice about it and said he was more interested in whether I lived where I said it was, and if I didn't live there I certainly wouldn't be waving those around!
