What is the name of your state?Hi,
my name is Eugene. I'm from California.
I rented a car from Fox Rent-A-Car, San Jose airport location in Novermber 2004 for a few days. On December 21, 2004 I received a letter from Fox Rent-A-Car saying that I should pay them $287 plus various fees ($360.26 total) for cigarette burn damage done to the driver seat. This is a ridiculous claim. I do not smoke at all! I returned this vehicle without any damage to it. The vehicle was inspected by their representative and he didn't find any damage. I can only guess that something happen to the car later on and they decided to charge me for that.
I disputed the claim, sending them a letter on December 28, 2004. They never responded to it. Instead, Fox Rent-A-Car sent this claim to Law Office "Claim Management, Inc" located in San Diego (619-233-8034). This office sent a threatening letter to me saying that I must pay this money or they will obtain judgement against me.
I dont know what to do and now I'm also afraid that Fox Rent-A-Car will try to charge me for all legal expenses associated with them hiring a lawyer. I don't know how to defend myself from this attack. I have
absolutely no problem paying money for the damage I incur, but paying for something I haven't done makes me furious. I feel like I'm being robbed.
Thank you,
Eugene
