I had something similar happen. I was moving and the town that I was moving too didn't have the same telephone company so I called the one that I had and told them to cancel my service. They did and I got the bill and paid it. 3 months later I get a bill for $.05. I call and they said that this was the amount that was still due on my bill. I argued with the lady about the damn bill since the bill before that said FINAL BILL across the top. Finally I told her to go to hell since she was such a you know what. I also told her that she could go ahead and drop a nickel on my account for the time that she had just wasted of mine being rude since my time wasn't free.
I go a few months later to check out a car and they pull my credit report and sure as heck Ameritech is listed on there. The sales guy is a friend of mine so I told him the story. He gave me a copy of the report and I called about it. It was in collections. The guy at the collection agency pulled it up and chuckled. Then he said not to worry about it he would take care of it. A month later I get a letter stating that everything is taken care of.
To think a nickel. SHEESH................. |
