So…in April the technology company sent a truck crew to pick up our old photocopier and deliver our new photocopier because our old lease was ending.
The financing company – which is completely separate from the technology company – keeps insisting they never received the old photocopier and that we still owe them for the monthly lease even though the technology company is the one who “lost” the photocopier.
Just how am I supposed to prove I don’t have a photocopier I don’t have?
God my head hurts.
Oh, and as an extra, special, added thing in my day, I gave the four other staff members who are in today a half-day off…and no one has bothered to say thank you.
I think you’re missing a prime opportunity to use bureaucracy against itself. Perhaps the financing company can fill out a special “unreceived capital merchandise” form, in triplicate, and send it to the technology company. Next, you can offer to photocopy it for them — only wait, you don’t have a photocopier, but they can send you one. When you receive it, return it again.
Take the best two out of three if you need to 🙂
