Too much?

I had trouble with a company last year. I opted for a free trial on a product and received a 6 year supply (value $180). I returned the stuff - at my own expense. I had proof that the package had been received by their company. But, somehow, I didn't have proof of the contents in the box (even though the box was the same weight as when they sent it to me - verified by the postal office.)
Finally, after I had enough of the run-around and threats from them, they called me yet again...
"Yes, I have made arrangements to take care of this alleged debt that I deny I owe your company. I have contacted the attorney general's office in my state and was referred to the attorney general's office in your state. They have it on record in both states now that I've made a complaint about your business practices. Furthermore, the attorney general in your state seemed quite familiar with your company and stated that this was far from their first complaint. Furthermore, you've been sued in several states for your business practices. Since your company seems unwilling to resolve this matter appropriately, I'm not waiting around to see that it IS resolved." Suddenly, they were able to resolve the whole problem in one phone call.

Ooooh, I like the employer bit.

Yeah, I once had a misunderstanding about a hospital co-pay ($50) that was for some reason refused by my Healthcare Flex account, and so was sent to collections (instead of coming back directly to me. :roll: )

Anyway, I was in the lab at work one day, came back to my desk to find out I had 6 voicemails (over the course of ~2 hours) on my work phone, and an additional 4 on my cell (sitting on my desk) and they were all from the same overanxious local little collection group about that $50. (I called the hospital and had them resubmit the bill to my account and it was paid this time.) Since then, I try to make sure none of that crap gets to my work/cell phone.

I just give out my second home phone number that doesn't ring through, but goes directly to voice mail, that way I can check on it once a week or so on my schedule, instead of having a constantly ringing phone over random stuff.

The national and state DNC lists have severely dropped that number of msgs on that line, however. :thumbsup:

On a related note- this just happened to me-

I get somthing from a credit agency from Sprint saying I owe like $400.
The name was

??null??
(my address)

So I'm thinking that its someone who used to live here- I give them a call and this guy answers with a strong southern drawl. I explain the situation, he looks up the account.
I say that I dont have a sprint account and ask if he sees a name on the account on his computer.
Him: The name I have here is "Null"
Me: .....uh
Him: Is your name Null?
Me: Isnt that a place holder cause you dont have the name?
Him: What? The name is Null! Is your name Null or not?
Me: No. My name is not null. Do you have any information besides that?
Him: No other info, just a DOB and SSN.
Me: Was this person born in 1983 (thinking he wouldnt be able to give out any specific info)
Him: No- born on (gives full DOB) with a SSN of (gives full SSN).
Me: wow...ok thats not me. Please dont send any more mail. *click* *shakes head*

how the hell did he get that job and why the hell did he not understand null wasnt an actual name...just amazing...

That goes down in history!!

I know...I couldnt believe how stupid he was...

Just pull your reports and if the "item" is on there dispute it through the credit agencies. Otherwise put the letters in the shredder.......
