Welp, I'll guess we'll see you on http://www2.fortatrust.com/blacklist/
LOL
Please google fortatrust, and you'll know
Ok, this is for grown their balance sheet as company. close to scam.
I'm not sure what country you are from and I'm only aware of U.S. laws in relation to credit ratings, but if they told me that they'd sold some made up debt to a collection agency I'd immediately contact a lawyer. That craps sticks with you for years.
@jarland I don't know how i can go on now
... but trust me, the system is very the same around the world.
"Something wrong with FortaTrust". Wrong! EVERYTHING is wrong with FortaTrust.
We seriously need a LowEndLawyer.
I thought that's the main output of the US lawyer market.
I was just gonna say that.
Forward that to fortrust lol maybe they'll seize their domain for looking too much like theirs.
Wow, that's depressing "Page 1 of 30" lol
Anyone ever ddosed them?
If they ever send me to a creditor they'll end up with a lawsuit so fast their head will spin.
I see you're mentioned on there
@Iniz - Yeah they're lucky I don't sue them for that...
If anyone ever read FortaTrust AUP, the following interesting notice about cancellations should have rung an alarm:
Simply stated: you can't cancel your month-to-month services without paying for one more month. And if you refuse, cough -
Next time, before ordering anything from them, make sure you've read all the legal docs in full.
@Master_Bo Sorry you are a ignorant in law matter. The contracts do not only need to be in writing to be valid, remember this when you sign any really important obligation.
"Legals docs" - AUP/ToS posted on their site. Looks like "legal docs" means something written on paper to you?
Next time, when you do not understand what exactly is said, feel free to ask to elaborate prior to making personal statements.
In any case, that doesn't change anything: their AUP makes it imposible to cancel monthly services without paying one month extra.
Oh god! just read yourself. Maybe sound rude with you but when someone try to defend something like that is a little intolerable to me.
Tip : The AUP/ToS can be modified anytime.
pd. I don't know when paper appear?!
@mtoledoce The infamous "31 days before..." statement is there for quite a long time.
Why do you think I am trying to defend FortaTrust? What I was saying, actually, was to read ToS/AUP/other legal stuff and avoid company if there's something dubious/strange. And if you didn't pay attention to all the terms, well, I only can tell I sympathize with you.
IMNSHO, FortaTrust should be avoided, end of story.
hmm?
But anyways you don't need read all stuff to be safe about abusive clause. In the past this was too much common. "Stupid Methods" was a tag i use to this because they can't be serious. They send this kind of mails but can't collect by law in the real world.
I post this as hilarious and was treated well by the rest here.
Another funny thing is their live chat.. There will be always one person waiting before you, and they will be chatting forever with him/her.
@peppr And who are you in that photo?
which photo?
@peppr ... in your description of the situation.
I dont get you, Please PM me with more details. Thanks
@peppr ... very cool. Don't be intruder when you don't have opinion.
lol
That's illegal, consumers can cancel at any time BEFORE renewal if it's a contractless month-to-month agreement.
Regarding the blacklist, that's illegal too:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Debt_Collection_Practices_Act (under "Prohibited conduct")
Exactly (I am no lawyer, but I consulted one). I wonder when someone launches a proper legal action.
