Q: I bought a AMP Security System. Two weeks later THEY disconnected the System.
The contract associated with this account was not finalized as the salesperson missed a place on the agreement to get my initials. Thats why they disconnected my system. They sent another contract with highlighted places for my initials and said they would then reconnect the system. In those two weeks so many things went wrong. so I decided I didnt want the system and wrote them a letter to discontinue the service. They said I couldnt and that I was liable. They called all the time and one time I did talk with a man, who literally yelled and threatened me with having to pay thousands of dollars. if I ddint sign the contract. It is now in a collection Companies hands saying Im Liable for $2,000.
A: If you don’t sign the contract and they’ve sent it to collections, you my have a wrongful collection action it a claim under the Consumer Fraud Protection Act. Consult a lawyer immediately. They can untangle you from this contract.
