Back in 2014, one was required to give 30 days notice when cancelling a subscription package. As far as I am now finding out anyway. My question is, was that applicable if one had signed say a 2 year contract? What if one was on a month to month?
Reason I ask is 2 and a half years ago, I did a month to month thing from shaw for internet and cable. Now... I did this in 2 separate apartments in the same building. One for me and one for my girlfriend (she was living with her sister until her sister moved out with her boyfriend). Both accounts were in my name. All the billing info came to me and I took care of all the payments. No problems. 3 months after I started the accounts, my girfriends sister had moved out. I cancelled 1 of the accounts and moved into the apartment with my girl. The billing info had not changed. My cel number had stayed the same for the next year and a half until I had changed cel providers and changed my number. My email address has been the same for about 10 years. Im not hiding from anybody. One can easily find me. To this day, 2 and a half years later, im still paying for the same account that I had originally started.
My problem is that I had gone for a personal line of credit. In sitting down with my financial advisor, she runs my credit and it becomes apparent that ive had an existing bill for 84$ that had gone to collections and had been chipping away at my credit score for that whole time. Score goes from 800+ to a hair over 600. UMMM WOW! Nobody from shaw decides to send me a bill. Call me. Email me. Knock on my door. Toss a note on my windshield. Send me a letter. (haha. trying to toss in some humor even tho im incredibly pissed at this situation).
Now I find this out Saturday and sunday after making a few calls, I at least get the charges nulled. But my credit rating has taken a hit that is most likely going to take a while to get back up.
For some info:June 1/14-new service/ paid bill june 24/paid bill july 14/paid bill aug1/ by aug 30, unreturned equipment bill/sept1 unreturned equipment credit to account and I assume account closed.
Feb 18/2017 I find out that they billed me for Sept 1/2014.
Does anybody think im going to be able to get my credit reinstated? Or should I chalk it up to being screwed over by big business. Cause to me, that's kinda not fair.
