A woman in south-west France, who received a

telephone bill of nearly 12qn euros, has had the real amount she owed

waived - after the company admitted its mistake.

Solenne San Jose, from Pessac outside Bordeaux, said she

received a huge shock when she opened the bill for

11,721,000,000,000,000 euros (£9.4qn).

Years ago I had a similar problem. I received a new fuel card from my employer. They were charged € 4,000,000,- for the card instead of € 4,-[:D]

It got swiftly mobbed under the carpet because nobody wanted to acknowledge this was even possible.

To be fair to Bouygues, they did say she could pay it off in instalments [:-))]
