    Reckon you should call them up and demand compensation. Why not contact one of those companies that threaten to wipe out debt - sure this is a new angle for them. Can hear the ad now...

    'Have you received an credit card bill that stinks of fags, curry, booze or body odour?. Well, you could wipe your debts out in one go. Just call us with your credit card at the ready* and we will take payment over the phone of our £499 fee.'

    * Please be advised that this fee is not able to be written off.

    Sorry - couldn't resist. OP - I know you weren't saying you were doing this. It's just such a common thing on here for people to look for excuses. this is a joke at them not you.

    Years ago when I worked for a bank I wrote a letter to a customer just before lunch and took it to the pub with me to look over while I ate before returning to work and sending it to admin to be sent. Fair chance that could have been received smelling of Benson & Hedges.

    oooooh scented credit card bills, whatever next?

    they really should be soaked in a soothing fragrance to calm the nerves and reduce that increased heart rate and stress level we are all familiar with when they come through the letterbox:money:
