Comcast Hounded By Collections Agency

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday April 23, 2011 @09:00AM from the turnabout-is-fair-play dept.

Bob the Super Hamste writes "According to the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Comcast is being taken to court for non-payment by a bill collection agency it used to collect past-due payments from customers. The suit alleges that Comcast agreed to pay $5 for each account it closed and that for each account the collection agency handled Comcast would pay 33% of the collected funds. The suit is seeking $314,210 for account cancellations and estimates Comcast owes them $50,000 for delinquent funds collected."

How could anyone think it makes sense to mod this up? The initial premise (that collection agencies are evil) is not even remotely supported by the relayed story.
P.S. Statute of limitations my ass. You and your wife are the kind of folks that make things more expensive for the rest of us.
