Halifax Share Dealing has apologized to bank customers in the United Kingdom for a telephone mix-up that re-directed them to a gay chat line.
Halifax Share Dealing sent out 15,000 letters with the wrong contact number for an account hotline. Customers dialing the hotline were greeted by disco music and a warning that it was an adult phone line.
Karen Collins, of Hall Green, Birmingham, says she called back twice thinking she had a wrong number.
Collins told the Birmingham Evening Mail: "I wanted to discuss my ISA, not meet gay men. It's quite funny, especially as thousands of account holders will have this letter. Perhaps someone will find a date through it."
A spokesman said: "We are reviewing our proofreading procedure to ensure this does not happen again."
The Halifax is writing to account holders apologizing for the mistake and giving them the right telephone number.
"Always forgive your enemies...nothing annoys them quite so much." Oscar Wilde
