Awesome!  I'm glad you were able to win.  It ticks me off that so many big
companies use such trickery knowing that it often costs people a lot of
money to fight them.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Credit Reports (Off Topic, sort of)

Someone told me to check only once a year and it would be free.  I have not 
done that yet--never have in fact in my lifetime.  My concern comes from a 
dispute I had with a major phone company when they charged me for a full 
month for only 4 days service when I changed providers.  It was their policy

they said.  Nevermind policy--that was just wrong so I fought them all the 
way to the Office of the State Atty. General and they finally "wrote it off 
as a courtesy to me"   But not until after many harassing phone calls and 
threats that my credit would be affected.  Even had calls from them on a 
Sunday.  But that is history and I just want to do a check and see if they 
did indeed file a report.  And file a rebuttal if they did.
Thanks everyone for the help with this off topic discussion.
Sandi
