It has also apologised for the gaffe, which it says was down to a printing error and a subsequent misunderstanding between the client and staff at their call centre.

Some printing error. That is also a major misunderstanding between customer and staff. :oops:

If I had a bill like that, I’d ask them for it to be itemised.

The bit about making arrangements to pay it off in instalments had me on the floor in stitches. :lol:

It doesn't compare to this, but I once had a customer with a genuine bill that ran into huge figures. It was caused by a router auto-dialling every 10 seconds for several weeks; about half a million calls. The itemised bill took BT about a month to print out and was delivered in separate vans.
