Q: Can i sue a cable company if I never agreed to anything?

Can i sue a cable company if I never agreed to anything and they come into my home and install cable and internet without my consent. They didn't even ask if the person on the potential file is home and then bill me later after I contacted them and told them I never agreed. Then a month later send me another set of equipment when I again never agreed to anything a second time and when I call they have no clue what is going on? Can I sue them for this?

A: You think a cable company sent an employee to your home to commit a burglary at your home for the purpose of installing cable and charging you for it later? Simply put, yes you can sue. Anyone can sue anyone for conduct committed that cause damages. If you were damaged then contact a lawyer.
