ATT's yellow pages printed an 800 number we no longer had at the time we agreed to advertise. We told them to delete it from our 2014's ad. They didn't. People who phoned that number might have believed we were out of business. ATT also listed us online as having a web site which we do not and the 800 phone number--again appearing we are out of business. We obviously dispute the bill and believe it cost us business. We offered to pay half but they will not send any paperwork saying they would accept the amount as final nor have they said they would accept it. They are sending the whole $2400-ish bill to collections. Will ATT be able to put the amount against our personal credit (we are a sole proprietorship) or will they have to take us to court before doing that?
Answer
The overdue bill might show up on your credit report. You should contest it. Your next offer should be to not pay the bill, and have Yellow pages put a correction and apology on their web site.
Good luck
Answer
The overdue bill might show up on your credit report. You should contest it. Your next offer should be to not pay the bill, and have Yellow pages put a correction and apology on their web site. They may actually owe you money for damages. You should explore that with a civil practice attorney in your area.
Good luck
