Recently, I paid ATT $500 to close my account and zero it out.
Fast forward 6 months, they send me a letter saying they need $300 more for cancellation fees or it will be sent to collections.
Write all the bad code you can, papi.
Sure it's cancellation fees? This doesn't seem legal.
There are contract breaking fees attached to contracts sometime to prevent switching providers. I'm pretty sure everybody agrees it reduces competition.
