Wow what a bargain! quick snap it up!

Good PR for them though as they can claim they always pass on any savings, no matter how tiny.

Some years ago we once over paid a supplier by 1p and their system couldn't cope with this. It appeared that any money outstanding for more than 1 month was automatically treated as money owed to the company, so we kept getting requests for -1p, with threats of court action. To compound the issue, the system wouldn't allow payments for current deliveries to deduct this amount, so in the end the company had to issue a credit note to balance their books.

APRIL FOOL !!!!










I think, I could be wrong though -__-;

APRIL FOOL !!!!

Seems unlikely to be one.

I got a bill from the council once demanding I paid the rent arrears detailed at the bottom of the letter, the amount - £0.00.

I went to the rent office and told them I'd come to pay my arrears. The cashier said, "Excellent sir, how much will you be paying?". I showed her the letter and she did a big rolleyes and sighed, "Not another one!". Turns out the system had sent out loads of these.

Don't you go spending it all on some fancy record player.

But hey, atleast you know you paid the lowest price possible

I one got a 'final demand' from BT for 1p. I'd had repeated attempts to get it cancelled and each time they said they would, then another demand would turn up. In the end I paid the damn thing (which, as I'm sure you can imagine, cost far more than the original bill).

they should have done that in the first place what backward system were they using anyway?

so we kept getting requests for -1p, with threats of court action.

I would have taken it to court.

lofl

 

[ste_bla]

Surely you "won 1p" rather than "win 1p"?

 

[Duke]

Yeah whatever, you know what I meant.
