What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
I just found out after contacting my cable/phone/internet company that they have been charging me a $3.95 service agreement charge. I questioned them on it and asked where they got my approval for this charge. They could not find any agreement from me on this. They indicated that this charge is that if I need a rep to come to my house, i will not be charged for the visit. This is odd, considering I am having a problem with their equipment and they have to come and replace it. First, can they charge me for this so called service agreement, that I never agreed to or signed for? How can they charge me anyway for their faulty equipment? I have only had this equipment 3 months and when talking to the rep on the phone, they said this happens all the time that the equpment fails. Is this some type of scam? I have searched their web site and do not find any information pertaining to this so called service agreement either.
thank you
