So as some of you may know, I run an accountancy firm.
Anyway, we get a phone all today from the Halifax asking us to confirm an applicant is a client of ours.
The conversation went something like this.
Me: Hello?
Him: Hi, oh, sorry, I think I have the wrong number.
Me: Ok! no problem...
Him: Wait! is that (insert company name)?
Me: Yes it is, how can I help?
Him: We have been given your company by an applicant, and they say you are their accountants?
Me: Ok?
Him: Can you confirm you are the accounts for our applicant?
Me: Well, who is the applicant?
Him: I cant tell you that..
Me: So how do I confirm anything with out a name@
Him: Oh, um. Its okay, you have confirmed you are (company name) we can use that.
Me: Well no, because I can not confirm nor object to being accountants for a person who you can not give a name for.
Him: Oh....um....ok thank you...good bye.
Me: Bye bye!
Its conversations like this that make you doubt the human race.
