Bank Sorry Over Blunder
SkyNews ^ | August 3, 2005 | Staff

Posted on 08/03/2005 7:31:09 AM PDT by Loyalist

A bank has apologised to a customer after sending him a debit card bearing the name "Dick Head".

NatWest said it had launched an inquiry after Chris Lancaster, 18, of Tiptree, Essex, received a cash card with the wording: "Mr C Lancaster Dick Head".

Mr Lancaster said he did not spot the insult until he was handing over the card in a supermarket to pay for something a few days after it arrived in the post.

"I couldn't believe it," he said.

"When I got the card out I saw the name embossed on it. I was so embarrassed I put it back in my wallet.

"I know I've been overdrawn a few times but I've done nothing to deserve this.

"The bank said it must have been a worker with a grudge."

A NatWest spokesman said: "We have apologised unreservedly to Mr Lancaster.

"This is completely unacceptable and we have launched an investigation."

I dated a girl in College whose last name was Head.

And before anyone asks...no.

Things must have gotten a little boring at the card processing center.

I wonder how many guys named Richard Head don't understand what all the fuss is about.

He never checked the name, even when he called the number to activate the card, or when he signed it?

Do you think he is descended from the famous Roman consul, Biggus Dickus?
