I'm here in the office to make a post.
Here is my story:
We were surprised as our lawyer told us few minutes after our arrival that she rejected the F****. net’s lawyer’s suggestion to agree to pay 50% of total amount to avoid a lot of hassle in the court. It's a first time to hear like this after 2 years battle until now…. :roll:
We were in the courtroom with an interpreter.
Judge introduced our names and reason etc then asked my hubby why we refused pay the Internet bill.
My hubby answer:
"We only pay unless we get the proof of connection list first. We received only warning letters without explanation from F*****.net until we got the proof for a first time last April 2005. The problem would of be less if F****.net accept to solve this issue with us over bill and explain/give us cons/pros information etc in first place."
F***. Net’s lawyer answer to ignore my hubby:
"It’s not F****.net's responsible that internet bills goes high because your client did not order computer tech. from F****.net to fix for them in first place".
Our lawyer defends for our proofs and us. (see my previous posts)
F****. net’s lawyer answer:
"Yes I saw the mistake on both sides and thought my offer over 50% of total amount is fair."
Our lawyer defends for us.
"1. It’s not possible to blame my client for not ask computer tech. to fix their computer in first place because of proof date that we locked 0190 was on the SAME time as we join F***.net Internet company. The proof of connection lists that F****.net did not lock 0190 in our computer and also did not do something to protect our computer/did not give the customers an advice.
2. What’s this double connection prices?
3. I thought our offer to pay 30% of total amount is fair."
Judge stopped us and questioned F****. net’s lawyer.
What’s an exact why we should pay double connection prices when you claimed that it's not F****.net's responsible. This is not logical."
F****. net’s lawyer answer Judge’s question and explain us how the double prices from.
Every dialing have 2 wires in one-computer cable outlets (splitter and ISDN). We received the bill with double prices automatic like this. Dialers are often hide everywhere in Internet. It will be okay if we go to run program and removed “dialer.” lists because some goes to run program and hide it. Nobody sees it. F****.net still demand the payment from us no matter what because the bills shows but they thought their offer to us to pay 50% is good and fair enough.
We was like :jaw: We all did not know about this because the customers who wish to join dial instead of DSL, cable, and other unlimited has to pay double prices and keep on look at run program which it's unsafe. (Oh dear, I thought to myself and should warn other people about dialing that they should join unlimited DSL or cable connection instead of dialing
).
My hubby was mad and told him that why nobody told us about 2 wires in one cable outlets. Judge and lawyer are also surprised, too because they didn’t know about this.
The Judge told him that F****. net’s duty to give us information how to protect our computer in first place but they didn’t. Why?
F****.net lawyer tried to explain us again that it’s not their responsible and also about computer’s wires etc. My lawyer stands up and said “break”. The Judge asked why? My lawyer said that we are not here to listen his cons/pros information but talking about Internet bills. (I has to admit that we are very interesting to listen F***. net’s lawyer’s cons/pros information over computer because it’s good education for us).
My lawyer stay hard and think 30% of total Internet bill amount is fair enough for us to pay. Judge are on our side and said that we would pay only 10% of total Internet bill if we ordered computer tech. in first place and think that 30% is fair. F****. net’s lawyer give up and agree to this.
The Judge explain:
We will give F*****.net 3 weeks time to think about either they are agree or not. F****.net company will carry the further court, honor, etc. cost if they are still against our 30% offer.
End……
We’re glad that the judge is on our side but but but we have to wait for F****.net’s answer either they are agree or not.
We were surprised that F*****.net's lawyer is friendly to us outside of courtroom. He gave us alot of cons/pros over computer. He said that it's good that we have unlimited DSL connection. We also questioned him about Norton Security. He said that Norton Security is number one and best quality to block everything. Interpreter and our lawyer questioned him, too. He questioned us about our deafness.
Everything goes smooth. He said that he is sure that F****.net will agree to this.
It's good that he give us good education, that we learn alot from him.
He is expert lawyer for internet specialist. It look like he's computer freak.
