So things to check:

1. if you're late in paying, do you owe interest charges?

2. if they sue you, do you owe legal fees?

3. can they sue you in some god-forsaken jurisdiction (Florida or Minnesota or whatever)? Have you agreed through the contract to personal jurisdiction there?

4. is there mandatory arbitration if there is a dispute? again, in some god-forsake jurisdiction?

Rant and rave all you want, unless you have an out (see Mikey's post) then they could definitely come after you and be a pain in the ass about all this, and you could end up owing more than the thousand bucks.

I don't know why you don't just let the pigs guard the place.

Killer defense guard pigs.

Thanks for the links Mikey and the advice Amnorix. I've read through all the above , retreived their mailing address and just hand wrote them a letter to GO **** THEMSELVES.

I kind of wish I could not buy anything any more. Everything comes with strings attached.

I'd like to subscribe to the New York Times, for example, but the only way I can get a subscription appears to involve signing a form that says, "here's my credit card and just keep charging me forever unless I tell you to stop".

No. I just want a one-year subscription, and if I like it I'll renew. But apparently I'm not allowed to do that any more, so I just don't subscribe and read the occasional free articles that come to me on Facebook. This strategy must work for the New York Times overall, but it costs them my money and I want to pay them.

Some service providers will pay your cancellation fees in exchange for signing up with them. That current contract you're in is pretty steep, but worth a look around.

Pablo 07-17-2017 05:46 PM

When we bought our house their was an ADT system already installed. Wife wanted to continue the service because at the time I was on the road a little bit for work. $50/month for this stupid shit and a 3 year contract to boot. I bet this thing is turned on a couple of times a month at best.

If you cancel at any point then you essentially owe $25/mo for the remainder of the contract.

Don't cancel, what if someone breaks in and steals all your priceless pig semen !

lewdog 07-17-2017 06:31 PM
