In March 1992 a man living in Newtown near Boston Massachusetts received a bill for his as yet unused credit card starting that he owed $0.00. He ignored it and threw it away. In April he received another and threw that one away too. The following month the credit card company sent him a very nasty note stating they were going to cancel his card if he didn’t send them $0.00 by return of post. He called them, talked to them, they said it was a computer error and told him they’d take care of it.
However he got a bill for $0.00 stating that he had 10 days to pay his account or the company would have to take steps to recover the debt.
The next month, giving in, he thought he would play the company at their own game and mailed them a check for $0.00. The computer processed his account and returned a statement to the effect that he now owed the credit card company nothing at all.
A week later, the man’s bank called him asking him what he was doing writing a check for $0.00. After a lengthy explanation the bank replied that the $0.00 check had caused their check processing software to fail.
The bank could not process ANY checks from ANY of their customers that day because the check for $0.00 had caused the computer to crash.
Finally the man, who had wanted to buy his wife a computer for her birthday, bought her a typewriter instead.
