Cancelled - but they say - You didn't cancel $142
I have been a customer for probably over 10 years. I received a letter in the mail that my equipment from Obhai would not function completely with my equipment, so my wife and I decided to cancel this service, and return the cancellation letter to them.
Well after receiving another letter from them a few months back, that they were going to send me to collections if I didn't pay my balance of $111.71 in 15 days (This would also add a $25 collection fee). I sent an email requiring details since I cancelled this email. It took about a month for them to reply, it said:
The plan you had cost $59.99 plus taxes and fees. Therefore, the total for this year was $109.52 including taxes and fees. On top of it there is a late fee and collection fee included which brings the total to $142.15. The fees might be waived as long as you give us a call to make a payment using a debit or credit card over the phone.
Wow, that's interesting, that email had different numbers then the original letter. The delivered mail notice that said I owed $136($111.71+25) turned into $142.15. I was so pissed, the lady Sylvia said I would have to talk to collections (haha - another department at phonoepower) to get rid of the penalties. They are basically a scamming company that steals your money, I haven't used their service for over a year and they billed me $142. I'm pretty sure I paid < $25 a year for the service, and all of the sudden they are charging me $142 for something I didn't use.
