Being told your dead by your bank isn’t a very normal experience.
But that’s exactly what happened to Saint Johnner Steve Fudge. The 36-year-old received a letter from CIBC offering him their condolences for his passing. Fudge then took the letter and his license to the bank to show he was breathing and very much alive. The bank has since apologized profusely to Fudge, saying human error is to blame for the mistake. Fudge tells CHSJ news the mistake hasn’t caused any problems so far, and he’s been assured by the bank that it won’t affect his credit.
Fudge says it’s a shocking and amusing situation, but adds it’s great to be alive.
