We've just moved and we're between homes right now. We had to sell to buy and couldn't get the closings to match up so we're at my brothers for a couple of months. That's the story to explain why I don't need my cable for this time. So a few days before moving I call my cable company to get the service disconnected. They tell me that I owe them for one months service because that's their policy on disconnects. It's in their terms of service and on all the bills.
So, I'm in the wrong... but... yes it's in their terms of service, the 30 page fine print book that nobody reads. Yes it's on the bills, in ultra fine print half tones that you literally have to use a magnifying glass to read. And most infuriating, my wife called four weeks prior but they wouldn't let her do anything because the account is in my name; no mention was made of this policy. I was putting in 70 and 80 hour work weeks and couldn't take care of it prior to the final week.
Well I'm sorry but I've got to be the SC here. I've given this company thousands of dollars over the years and if they want me to keep doing that at our new home, they're waiving this greedy little pig policy. I guess I'm just clearing my conscience here before becoming what I hate but feel free to share your thoughts on it.
