When we bought our new TV last year from Tweeter, they offered us a 0% interest for 1 year line of credit to put it on, so we took advantage of the situation to get a free loan and build up our credit. We paid it off in June and today I called the number on the statement to close the account. "Thanks for calling GE Money! We are currently experiencing high call volume and there could be a long wait to speak with a customer service representative." Oh, great. Just how I wanted to spend my morning… on hold! "Please enter your account number…" Beep boop boop bap bop dink doink deet deet doot beep. "Your account balance is currently $0. Your last payment of $140 was received on June something or other. For account information press 1. A bunch more annoying phone robot speak you won't remember. For all other inquiries, press 6." Joy. Me and everyone else who presses 6 get to sit here on hold for hours together. Sixers unite. Beep. "If you would like to close your credit account, please press on-" Boop! Wee, now I'm in line with all of the people who pressed 6, 1. There's probably one guy in a cubicle somewhere who tries to convince everyone not to close their accounts. Poor guy. "You have chosen to close your account. If this is correct, press one." Yeah, I'm pretty sure I hit the right button. Damn sure, in fact. Boop. "Your account has been closed as of today. Your confirmation number is [private, thank you very much!]. Press other numbers if you wanted to do other stuff, or press 9 to end this call." … what? … huh? Excuse me? Well erm, uhh… thanks.
