Credit Card Company Mistakenly Issues Credit Card to Credit Card

Toomahaw, IK--A month ago, Mrs. Debra Baumer of Lincoln Flat Estates found a strange letter amidst her regular mail. "At first, I thought it was just a bill from my credit card company, but when I opened it, I realized that it was addressed to my credit card, pre-approving it for a new credit card," she chuckled. "So, of course I sent out the slip and two weeks later, my credit card had a credit card!"

The vice president of consumer affairs for the large credit card company, who asked us not to reveal either his or his company's names, was apologetic. "It's baffling how such a thing could occur. We hardly ever issue credit cards to inanimate objects such as other credit cards, no matter how good their credit score is. And Mrs. Baumer's credit card had an excellent credit score, even better than hers!"

Mrs. Baumer saw the occurrence as a chance to go on a spending spree. "I bought all sorts of things for my new credit card: a calfskin wallet, a velvet card holder, and one of those pens that writes underwater. You know, for signing the back. All from my living room." Mrs. Baumer made all of her purchases through a famous home shopping network, which also asked to remain nameless.

The vice-president man continued, "Without a doubt, we'll be suing Mrs. Baumer for conspiracy to defraud this company." He then ate a puppy.
