So today I got to spend almost an hour on the home with the Verizon/Frontier Communication fraud and security people. Apparently the $500 and change collection bill that arrived last week was not for the cable bill, it was for not returning the equipment within 30 days of the service being canceled.
Service to the house was canceled on November 6th, I was not living here then and was able to easily prove that beyond any shadow of a doubt.
The person who canceled the service, who happens to be the same person who started the cable and internet service, had to sign a contract guaranteeing that she would return the equipment within the 30 days. Given this my ex’s history, it will not come as a surprise that the equipment was not returned in the window she had signed for.
The company got the information they needed today to link the signature, to the phone number (425-XXX-9906) and person attached to the account. It’s awesome when departments titles “Fraud Protection” follow the paper trail. It’s probably just as well she has Comcast as her internet provider now, Frontier won’t be offering her services again.
I returned everything that was at the house, a couple of wall boxes and so on. But the cable top box was not here, and that’s what they want back.
I assume it’s in her storage unit, but have no idea and after today’s call it’s not my problem anymore. All I know is that it’s not in the house, and can clearly show that (photos and inventory are awesome evidence).
She spent almost 20 minutes early this afternoon sitting at home in Kirkland surfing my site. I hope you found something to keep you entertained, how about you stop being a deadbeat, it really would be better in the long term.
Update – You would have thought once a day was enough, but my ex made three visits here yesterday. The last one just after 11 last night, I really thought she would have better things to do.

Simply to say your article is very direct. Well doneon calling the loosers out. I’ve takenyour RSS feed to keep updated with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please continue the work.
Dave, you are a nice person, you own your mistakes and it’s hard to just plow on into the unknown. But you walked away from a bad situation and I agree that you have become a better person. You show confidence in yourself and you have made some scary decisions and it seem that the present is so much better than the past.
When people around you were putting you down you stood up and got on with your life. It is tough, but you are doing it.
Dave, you have made the changes, you’ve shown that. More and more is becoming clear.
