I will admit in dealing with other companies the same kind of shit happens everywhere.

Here is an example I had a lawn fertilizer company (a multi state company BTW) that called me and gave me a deal. That if I bought 5 treatments and paid upfront I would get the 6th for free. So I paid in Mar. and had to call several times before they came out for the first time June 16Th, that was not the last time I had to call to get them to come out. needless to say by Nov15th they still had to do 2 more treatments and I told them listen this is not working out, so why dont we just skip the other 2 and you give me some of the money back, they said no we will do the other treatments and they did the last one happened, Dec. 14th (yes I said Dec.14th). ion the end I was so pissed that not only did I want to just pull the service. I had also told them that they have tanted me so bad that not only would I not ever use them again I dont think I will ever trust another one again. So comes the next spring and what do I get a sign on my lawn of that company and a bill attached to my door for that service. I looked and not only was I pissed to think they did it and billed me for it but that when I looked at my lawn there were no granels there is in the lawn and on the sidewalk/driveway (they never did it, it also happened during my treatment, the supervisor told me it does happen sometimes, so be careful and always check to see if they did it dont just trust the little sign on your lawn). So I called costomer service and told them the story (including what had happen before) and she said they would take care of it........ Yes she did alright they sent me another bill. This went on for 2 years them sending me a bill and then I got collection agencies calling and sending me letters after I sent them a letter telling them I dont owe for the services they say I do and why, they dropped the claim.......Still not over, I started to get calls from the company now with them telling me they will sue. They said because you did not cancel us before the next year we can carry forward the contract to the next year. I told them go ahead, I would love to get this infront of a judge with my phone records. I think a judge is not going to think I was calling you 7 times in Nov. and Dec. to be telling you you are doing a great job and I want you back. They never filed and since the statue of limitations ran out I guess it is finally over.

As you can tell this still sticks with me to this day and it still pisses me off.

Sounds like "TruGreen ChemLawn" . . . those pr!cks tried the same scam on me . . . 6 treatments with 1 for free if you prepay but I didn't prepay

I too always checked yard for evidence of granules . . what po'd me was they would sneak in 2 treatments on the same visit, like Grub Control and Fertilizer so I would then find a double-bill on my front door; Called and told them they should discount price because they were saving a trip.

Then got hit 1 year with "army worms" that supposedly blew in with a hurricane and destroyed the whole lawn . . so much for the treatments.

Called and told them not renewing; next spring guy pulls up with truck . . I ran out and told him no way . . then sent certified letter for proof of nonrenewal. They called and sent letters for months trying to get me to renew.

They would also put treatment down in December, sometimes with leaves still on the lawn . . .

BTW, I was paying close to $70 per treatment. I do my own now . . 4-Step Scotts and it is as green and lush as when ChemLawn did it.

P.S. Reminds me of Columbia House Records & Tapes when we were kids and you could get like 10 records or tapes for a penny but you had to buy 8 more and then they would just send you stuff randomly that you had to return within a set time or be stuck paying for it . . . and you could never get them to stop - lol

This will be very good for the company in the programming end of the business.
It would be great to have Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin too. The three of them would draw in tons of listeners in my opinion. You don't have to like their brand of politics. They would be a great alternative to Howard Stern, and I'll bet there would be plenty of crossover listeners just for the humor of all 4 of them.

**Havakasha** · 05-12-2010, 08:09 PM

I agree. The more the merrier.

Havasucker I know you hate to admit this but it is because he is popular. As said before it could be Rosey or Beck it does not matter as long as they sign popular programs.

Your right they make so much fun out of the logic of the liberials it is hilarious.

Here is an example from Rush today: Highland Park school princible does not want basket ball team to go to Arizona because of the new law. Rush said; I guess the princible is afraid the kids will be speeding down the streets or robbing banks and stores down there. The princible must be afraid they are nothing but a bunch of law breakers. Rush then said; You see the law is already working to bring down crime and it does not even go into effect til Aug.
