you are NOT going to believe this
We all know Telstra right?
Much maligned by unhappy customers all over Australia?
Yep, that's them.
Well, today, I checked my mailbox and found this:-
From Telstra
A cheque.....
...a REFUND cheque!
How sweet is that??!!
Totally unexpected too.

What is Telstra, never heard of it!?!??!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo for unexpected money!!!
I got one recently from Telstra, too, after I had argued over the phone for hours about another letter that Said I was overdue. We had two separate accounts to the same address, and my cheque covered them together but they at Telstra could not reconcile the two.
ReplyDeleteBureaucracy gone mad, I say. Still a refund, even for as little as $12.35 is better than a bill.
Well just take that money and buy a lottery ticket STRAIGHT AWAY! It's obviously your lucky day ...

ReplyDeleteJennifer Kay; Telstra is one of our national telephone companies. They used to be the "only company in town", but in recent years a gazillion other companies have sprung up offering competetive deals.
ReplyDeleteElisabeth; I didn't spend any time at all on the phone with Telstra, I had no idea this was coming. I cancelled the account when I moved house and chose not to have a landline anymore since I use the mobile almost exclusively, this appears to be a refund of unused landline rental charges.
Red nomad; a lottery ticket didn't even cross my mind! I've given up buying them, but maybe I should get one....
Andrew; let's see now, divide it among the kids? (they'd get $3.087 each) Or buy a lottery ticket? Big decision time.
Free money!!!! yippee.
ReplyDeleteDelores; yippee indeed. When I saw the envelope I thought it was a final account. So pleased to see a cheque instead.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. But Telstra being what they are, you may get a final account next week. Though I hope not.
ReplyDeleteI've heard about these, but I thought it was just another urban legend!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! :)
ReplyDeleteI got a refund of $14.52 from Telstra once. It took over 40 minutes on the phone to get it, but I wasn't letting them have my money!
EC; I elected to get my phone bills monthly, so if there's a final account it won't be much, I hardly used the phone at all.
ReplyDeleteToni; I'm an urban legend!!
Sleepydwarf; I didn't have to fight for this, I didn't even know it was coming!
Cash it, and then ask for it back so that you can frame it!
