    Hello,
    I currently have my Mortgage problem and a collection from Bright House networks . Im sitting at a 621 right now (fico) and need to increase mine obviously for the purchase of a home .
    I read posts on here for hours last night and am going to start pointing my way to better living through the numbers .
    Anyway , I had a account with Time Warner cable . I turned off the account and returned the boxes for some reason I cannot remember and switched to Direct TV . Time warner decided I should have to pay a fee for dropping my service before the end of the 12 month cycle .
    Mind you I gave them a Dishnetworks dishrecorder as part of a "come back to us from Sat TV" deal . If I gave them my dish box they would install the cable for free and give me premium services free for a amount of months that I cannot remember now .

    Well, the price was to be lower than Sat TV and such and ended up not being . I think that is why we switched .
    Time warner sold out or switched names ,etc. Now they or whats left is Bright House Networks . Bright House wants me to pay them $120 some-odd for me turning the cable off with Time Warner ?
    I did not have a balance , just canceled my service and turned in the hardware .
    Also , when the equipment was installed I never signed for anything as I was not home . I believe my wife signed on the installation , Im not sure .
    Any case , how can I be held to a contract with a different company ? Can they hold me to it when I NEVER signed any paperwork with them , giving consent to thier "terms" ?

    Thanks for any help.

    3*giving consent to thier "terms" ?

    1*It's not the CO. it's the contract. doesn't matter who owns the contract.
    2*Yes because as the assigneee they have the same rights spelled out in the contract that the original creditor had.
    3*If the terms are from the origal agreement you can be held to it.
