Every dog has its pay day - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

A pet dog in the north of England has been offered its very own gold credit card with a spending limit of 10,000 pounds
($24,513).

An application form for a Royal Bank of Scotland credit card arrived at the home of Raymond Slater, in greater Manchester, addressed to his Shih-Tzu, Monty.

The dog was offered a gold credit card and the chance to earn air miles.

"We bought the name from a list broker and have no idea why Monty's details were provided," a spokeswoman for the bank said yesterday.

"His name has now been removed from the database and we are sending a hamper to Mr Slater by way of apology," she said.

The Royal Bank of Scotland is one of Britain's biggest issuers of credit cards.

Max out your own card, then blame the dog.

I'm sure that hamper will make up for the three hours this guy spent on hold trying to fix this.

Mr Slater shouldnt have been so shady signing his dog's name to lists. This would not have happened if the guy did not use his dog'd name on something, or more than one thing.
