Comedian 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

The future Mrs Kenny Martin renewed her car insurance recently. She was with Direct Line, who were advertising loads of deals - phoning them, she was told that these were only for new customers, so she wasn't entitled to them.
After telling them she didn't wish to renew her policy, she took a new one out with - you've guessed it - Direct Line, taking advantage of the now available deals.
...and then got a phone call a couple of weeks later saying "We're still waiting for your proof of no-claims bonus from your previous insurer"
When she told the guy that Direct Line was her previous insurer and why, he told her that it happens all the time...
