| Collection Agency Question |
Subject: Collection Agency Question by jsup on 2008/12/1 13:08:23 I had a Sprint card for my laptop, so I can sit in traffic and give you guys shit....ok, kidding, but it was great, worked well. I got a new laptop and it did not have the PCI CIA card, it had PCI Express. So now I needed a new card. I go to Sprint and they said "fine, $250 please". I explained to them I can go to Verizon and get the same card free. Asked them the value of keeping me as a customer. They said nothing. So, I get on my phone can call Sprint since they would do nothing in the store. They came down to $150. I said..."Let me get this straight, it's $150 for the new card, or $150 to cancel the contract? They said yes. I said fine, then cancel the card. It is my position that I should not pay the $150 (weak I know) since it's not my problem that they could not offer a reasonable solution to access their service. Plus, I felt like I was being blackmailed into keeping the service, which was the bigger issue. I went to Verizon and got a new one, and truthfully, I think the Sprint was a bit faster. So now they have a collection agency sending letters. I have no reason to seek credit, I have a mid-high 700 credit score. But I hate getting the junk mail. Anything I can do to put this to rest short of writing them a check? |
