I made a call to a phone sex line... and was not told under what name the bill would come under... A couple of months later, I saw a bill on one of my statements from a copmpany I did not recognize... and the number (800 number) beide it was not a "correct" number - could not get hold of the right company... SO.. I asked my credit card company to check it out... and they said the $20 had been removed from my account... A couple of months later I get a call from the phone-sex place... the tell me I owe 20 plus another $25 for "chargeback" fees.. I told them I would pay the original fee, but I would need to see a bill proving they were charged the $25 (which they never were) ... and furthermore, it was not my fault that the company 1) didn't have the correct number on the credit card statement, and 2) didn't give the credit card company the proper information in the "dispute", which was "decided" in my favor, without me ever knowing or finding out who they were! They refused, demanding this extra money.... I said I would pay the $20 and they said that was unacceptable... and hung up.
I got a letter recently from a law firm (in Canada), indicating the company will sue me for $140 - 20 plus 25 (chargeback fee that was never charged to the company from my credit card caompny) plus another $35 "admin" fee from the company (in California), and $60 "legal" fee.... I got a call from them saying "You don't want your name in the paper.. with this type of information in it.. what kind of call it was,, etc". etc...
I feel I am being extorted. What should I do? thanks.
