Those 'Collect call' bills!@!#!

This is a common nuisance but you may not know if you do not check your
phone bill with care.

You may find in your telephone bill a charge from nowhere for "collect calls"
although your sharp memory tells you that you never accepted any such
call. You suspect your spouse might have accepted it but you must be
confident that your spouse usually have much sharper memory than you!

You call you local telephone company and they ask you to contact that
company (may appear in you bill beside that charge for the collect call).
You contact them and they say - NO WAY! YOU HAVE TO PAY!
or ..OK! WE ARE GIVING YOU A CREDIT FOR SOME AMOUNT.

HERE is your SOLUTION:
If you are unable to resolve your dispute, contact your local telephone company
and ask confidently to offer you a "recourse adjustment". A recourse adjustment
will remove the charges from your local telephone bill. However, the service
provider (for that fictitious collect call) may pursue collection of the charges
directly from you.

BUT Usually they will not bother you because they at least know that it was
fictitious in the first place. If they contact you - it's your turn to reject
them!
