switching to Cosmo, or Eugene is a lame name
|
| For the past 8 years, I have subscribed to Men's Health Magazine.It is a guilty pleasure of mine.There is some good information between the covers of that publication, and I have come across a couple of good recipes therein (namely asian sloppy joes and some killer baked beans), but in all honestly it's just a testosterone version of Vanitay Fair or US and is ultmately trash.They have always been REALLY annoying with their subscription and payment notices.I can't claim to always have been their most responsive customer, but you'd think that loyalty would have some value.After 8 years of renewal notices and getting something the mail literally every month asking me to extend early or pay my bill, what may be the final straw (I have to sleep on it) arrived in the mail today.It was a letter from a debt collector regarding my bill.Eight years of their mag and half a dozen books purchased from these people, and they give my name to Eugene Sullivan, Collection Manager for North Shore Agency, Inc. Eugene wrote me a letter saying that I must pay or remit in writing that I dispute the claim.At which point he threatened judgements and other legal hooplah.Eugene is apparently unaware that before he penned his letter, my bill was paid, so I wrote him back.April 29, 2008 North Shore Agency, Inc. P.O. Box 8922 Westbury, NY 11590 Carl Etheredge PSC 76 Box 882 APO AE 09720 ? Re: ID 0809 1000 9119, ACCT NO-009582413 ? Dear Eugene Sullivan, ? I received a request for payment from your office today, April 29, 2008 in the amount of $27.97 payable to MEN'S HEALTH MAGAZINE.My account with Men's Health is paid in full through December 2008.? I dispute your claim of debt.? Sincerely, ? ? ? Carl Etheredge Irritated Consumer I started to add "Kiss my ass, Eugene... and btw, your name is lame." but I figured that would be unprofessional. |
