How crap are they? How stressful is moving house and how much worse is it when people can't get anything right?!
I changed the address on my TV licence from old address (now vacant awaiting sale) to new one (parents old address) and I got a letter saying vans were in the area of old address and did I realise I had no licence etc. Now Dad's got a big red reminder through the post at this address - don't they bloody cross check anything to see there is a licence here under a new name???
Just got car reg documents back with change of address on it but dh's middle name is spelt incorrectly and my surname (same as his btw!) is spelt incorrectly. Can't they copy just from one document to another???
Changed over water details - Mum and Dad had a meter because only 2 of them and it's supposed to be more economical. We don't want a meter as we are a family of 5 and it would cost more this way. Can you change it? Can you hell. Can only be removed by the person who installed it AND only within 12 months of having it installed otherwise you and any subsequent owner is stuck with it!! Crap or wot!
Rang up the council to inform re council tax - woman on the other end tells me my address is in Manchester so I pay council to them. Er, no, it's in Trafford love. Oh yes, so it is. Thick OR WOT!??! The council don't even know which borough an address is in??
GIVE ME STRENGH!!
Feel marginally better now.
