Georgia Law.
I personally think this is a case of complete extortion against small business from collection attorney's. A suit has been filed against me for $11k for internet advertising I never agreed too.
The only thing I ever signed was a one page carbon copy piece of paper that says nothing about the "term" of my online add with yellowpages. It shows what my monthly charge is and I was told by my rep it was a month to month agreement I could cancel at anytime. I was ok with that and thought I'd give it a shot.
When I tried to cancel, they said I can not. In fact, they said I agreed to a 19 MONTH LONG CONTRACT!!!! WTF?
I ask to please see the document that shows I agreed to that.
The only thing they can produce is a letter they said was mail to me (I do not believe I ever go it, but regardless) that said "here are your terms. If you do not agree you must notify us within 15 days". I never signed anything agreeing to 19 month contract terms and they acknowledge that.
The exibits with the lawsuit are a joke. They support ZERO of the claim made in the complaint.
The plantiff attorney calls and harrasses me trying to get me to settle or he'll see me in court (representing myself, which he said goodluck with that).
This case comes down to can someone send me a letter in the mail and if I don't respond I'm bound to contract terms.
I am fighting this all the way to the court house if I have to. Complete extortion because they know it doesn't make sense for me to hire an attorney (although I did pay want to help me file an Answer Per Se).
Can they do this?
