Can't win~just filed and got another debt!

[kenshirley]

OK, you people seem sure of this so that's what I will do.
It's frustrating that this happens on a weekend and my attorney and such are not available of course to ask.
It's still frustrating to have to pay $26 to get rid of a $250 that is not right and that I don't owe!

And I certainly hope I don't get anything else out there!

[CompTweaker]

Just my opinion, but they probably wont do anything if you leave them and you're going to use a dish or a different cable company (if possible).

I might just file the amendment myself. It might cost a lot more than $26 to have you lawyer do it.

But, it wouldn't hurt to ask your lawyer first.

OK, I called CableOne's offices this AM locally.
They informed me that when I disconnected I was under contract.
I said "really, I called your offices and ask about that when I was getting ready to disconnect and you told me I wasn't. I want to see something with my signature on it showing I am under contract and I will be in your offices in 20 minutes."
I went there and guess what, they had no documents and they now mysteriously show my account balance as "0" but they could not give me a copy of it "as it does not show on their ledger yet.".
More BS from them.
They told me they would mail me a dated copy showing a $0 balance by the end of the week.
I told them I would suggest they do that as they don't want me back in their offices again.
I hate to say it, but I think this was nothing but an attempt at fraud on their part to get $250 out of me some 90 days after I disconnected my service.
Crooks!!

Very nicely handled Ken. Interesting how they back down when you want evidence and show up at their doorstep.

[kenshirley]

Yes the one thing left undone is the statement showing a date after today's that reflects a $0 balance due.
They said they could not print it today but will mail it to me.
If you think I trust them at this point you are dreaming.
They really don't want me back in their offices.

Good job Ken !

Exactly. I had a little time under my belt with experience such as yours. But you did the best thing that could have been done. Good job

It is rather a good feeling when the little guy wins one against these corporate clowns today.
My Father told me in the 1950s that they would ruin America.
I think we are there!

I would follow this up with a certified letter and demand a written response. You never know when these people will surface again.

[kenshirley]

No, if you read my previous posts I gave them until the end of the week to produce their document dated today or after showing my account now has a $0 Balance.
Failing to do that, I will be in the office again, when they open on Monday morning next week and the manager knows I will be there.
I think that covers the bases.

I NOW believe you will follow up. Let us know what happens.

Well today I got a letter from a collection agency telling me that they wanted the $250 on behalf of CableOne
I got another from that same agency stating that CableOne had called that action off and to disregard their previous letter.
I also got a copy of the ledger on my account dated yesterday and showing a $250 credit to my account the day I went into the local office demanding to see my contract they said I signed.
This of course left me with a $0 Balance due on my account.
I think I can assume I won this round. It's about time I win something!

[dingdong]

Woo Hoo!

It's the small victories in life that make it worthwhile.

Great job standing up for yourself. Persistance is definitely a great quality to have.

Not bad at all Ken! Hopefully, the CA didn't hit your credit, but now you have all the evidence you need anyhow.

Have a nice weekend... fishing.
