I would send the letter, but not the check. Sending them any more money might act as a "ratification" of the contract, when you might want to argue later that no contract ever existed. Send the letter saying that you do not owe them anything and that you will sue them under the FRCA if they ding your credit. [/ QUOTE ] whats the FRCA? guess: federal something consumer act |

Pay them what you believe you owe by check. When it hits your credit report dispute it. If the company can't provide sufficient enough documentation to show the debt is valid within 30 days it will be removed from your report. From your story it doesn't sound like they will be able to do that. [/ QUOTE ] This is the correct answer. You can dispute hits to your credit. Include with your check a brief letter explaining that this is all you're paying and that you will dispute any credit hit. 80% they take it and you're done. Edit: Threatening to sue them is probably pointless, and not-paying them $50 may really reduce the chance they leave you alone. |

Re: Legal options for an annoying situation?
im not really familiar with american laws because i can run really fast, but i would suggest putting the address that they give you to send the money to on a box, but instead of putting the money in the box, you put yourself in the box so you get mailed to their headquarters. then when you arrive tell them they are a bunch of jerks and if they dont make this stuff go away you are going to slice them up. its also a good idea to say that you have done this before to a similar business that didnt cooperate with you and their employees are now SEVERLY sliced up.
then ask them where their outgoing mail is and put yourself inside another box with your address on it so you can go home. |
