Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Similar thing happened to my wifeA van hit the back of her car when she was stopped at a roundabout. Completely his fault, but when she came to renew her insurance, it had doubled despite her having protected no-claims discount.
Their explanation: the percentage discount remained the same but the premium doubled because, by the time her renewal came around, the insurance company had still to be paid by the other party's insurance - so they treated it as her fault until that happened.
Shits.

I actually came out ahead from the incidentThey paid out about 20% more than I paid for the car and because the circumstances were unusual, I got an extremely nice (much nicer than my car) courtesy car for almost three months.
