Send them a photograph of a cheque post-dated for 10 years in the future....
Seriously, I'd be writing to them pointing out the discrepancy in the dates. I know that most will say not to phone, but really, if they are up to this sort of stuff this early, I'd have a manager looking into it asap. A letter which will arrive after the notice wont have the same impact as an immediate phonecall pointing out that it's actually the 13th today and that they cant just add money on indescriminantly for phantom visits that havnt happened yet.Debt Free! Long road, but we did it
