Funny bank story

A funny story about someone trying to get their bank to stop sending them those pesky blank checks.

"I wish you good luck in trying to get your credit-card company to stop sending those pesky checks. I called and wrote trying to get them stopped because of my concerns about identity theft. The checks just kept coming. I finally requested that my account be closed and told the company that the reason for this was the checks. In return, I received several letters urging me to keep the account open. Finally, I got a letter that said my account had been closed, regrettably.

One month later, I received a letter telling me that even though the account was closed, the company would keep it on its 'inactive list'. To reopen the account, I only needed to use my [credit] card again or use one of the enclosed checks! It seems to be a battle that cannot be won."
