:mad WTF?!? 2000charge gets a German Lawyer to hunt me for money!

So I did a test sign up using 2000charge for a naughtyamerica site a few months ago...

I wanted to test the 2000charge option for direct debit transfers from german accounts as I often advise my clients on alternate billing options for the german market due to the fact that a large percentage of germans have no credit card.

Today I got a letter from a german lawyer asking for 70 euros ...
the basic 25 euro charge for the membership + lawyer fees

So WTF...it obviously does not work...

I'm sure my bank account had enough money in it at the time...I'm pissed not so much about the money but the cheek they have

i use 200charge for my sites as an EU alternative... not used too much but does serve it purpose. but i have to be honest, any of my customers getting a letter like this would be really upsetting to me personally..
