Party "inactive account" fee.

Just got a cute e-mail from Party:

Our records show that that you have not logged in to your account for 180 days.

A $5 administration fee** has been charged to your inactive account. The next charge will be deducted from you account balance on: 17-Dec-2007 ET.

However, this fee will NOT be charged if your account, or any related account, is reactivated on or before 16-Dec-2007 ET.

Reactivating your account is easy: Just log in and place a cash wager, enter a tournament with a cash entry fee, or play a raked hand.

So I wrote back:

You are real idiots to send this e-mail!

Maybe you should check the fact that you have locked out all players from Israel.

Since I do not have any money in my account (maybe a few odds cents) it really doesn’t matter.

Did you send this e-mail to all your American clients too?

Correct.

This is why they charge the account keeping fee. They eventually run them down so that they don't need to fund the costs of maintaining the account forever.

Just withdraw all your funds and you'll be right.

Yes, they did.

In the case of non-americans and Israelian's I would of thought that they would want to encourage them back and not charging them.
The costs of keeping an account active is minimal if anything and it just shows what a pack of idiots they have running that show.
