Don't forget that this wasn't an error. Sorry mate, in XXI century it's impossible. Heck, even C64 would be enough to deal with a simple database.

This is a common practice in Poland - when you can screw a consumer, do it. Some people would notice, complain and that's ok, the company doesn't loose (let's face it - when you choose an offer, sign the deal etc. you don't want to do it again anywhere soon). But some people won't notice they are being screwed or the amount of money would be too small for them to worry.

And that's precisly when the company cashes-in.

It happened to me lately when I signed a deal with ISP. They were double-billing me, even after my complaint. This is for 100% done on purpose.

This reminds me of a insurance companies, nr 1 rule there is - always reject first claim. Then reject another. Only pay when a client is extremely devoted to getting his money.

And to think that some insurances are forced by the law...

Well, that's my two cents. Cheers.
