Hell no!

MINNEAPOLIS -- The banks need another bailout and countless homeowners cannot handle their mortgage payments, but one group is paying its bills: the dead.
Dozens of specially trained agents work on the third floor of DCM Services here, calling up the dear departed's next of kin and kindly asking if they want to settle the balance on a credit card or bank loan, or perhaps make that final utility bill or cellphone payment.

I hope when I am dead some of these dead collected contact my sisters trying to collect my bills. Talk about a scorched earth policy.

Well, I might pay your last cell phone bill...as you probably don't have a cell phone.

That's really ridiculous, isn't it?
