So KlearGear.com reported the Palmers' $3,500 unpaid fine to a collections company. After that, Jen Palmer said the couple had trouble getting approved for financing because their credit score took a huge hit.
I am wondering what the $3500.00 bill said? If it was an invoice for "disparaging remarks" or what??
Based off there not being a sale, the couple didn't agree to anything, therefore shouldn't be held to anything, not to mention, they proved the language wasn't in the sales contract they had from the original sale that was cancelled, and the language was added later. |
Exactly!!! My understanding about collection agencies is they buy the balance from a company at a fraction of the amount owed. The company gets something and the collection agency tries to collect the full amount owed, therefore making a profit. What collection agency would take on the task of collecting a make believe fine? It's like saying I owe vet fees from 2006 when I didn't get Kaji until 2009. How is that possible? I think the collection agency is as cooky as the company in question. And to have all their phone lines disconnected? It all sounds so fishy to me! Although, I will admit that I will tread lightly on all my transactions with all new cyber vendors. In fact, I might just stick with the ones I trust.
