From the sound of this, I dont need an attorney. I need a Guido that runs one of those electronic shops in NY or a Chinaman from ChinaTown.

Looks like they are willing to barter.

One other thing. In most cases like this the atty fees to fight it and the settlement end up pretty much a wash. What determines who fights and who doesn't is how angry the defendant is. If they are really pissed they would rather give the money to the lawyer, if they are not that angry and just want to move on, they settle.

tell em you are poor and just had to pay money for a triple testicle implant and can only afford 1500 bucks right now , and that the hospitals are after ya in court and so on bla bla ..... also tell em to go fuck a goat

You said they'll take 50%. Did you offer 50% or did they?
If you offered 50% it'll be harder to take that offer back.
If they offered 50%, they'll probably settle for a little less.

You can probably walk away for 1.5 months + your attorney fees, depending
on your state if you might end up paying other fees for their collection expenses.
So find out what the attorney will charge you. Is 1.5 months plus your attorney
fees less than or close to 50%?

I dont see why they would be angry with me?
Its not like I started a thread on the Industry's Largest Message Board talking about this shit.:winkwink:

Only 4000 people have seen this so far.

They offered 50%.

4500.00

I just countered.

I said 2800.00

Is that fair? If they accept ill do it.

One more tip to make this easier for you to swallow if you decide to settle....

Once you two agree on a dollar figure then go back to them and tell them that you cant afford to pay it all at once and ask them to break it up into 3 payments. It makes it easier for you to pay since you feel deep down inside that you don't owe it anyway.

Just a last option ;)


--T

Break 2800 into 3 payments? LOL.

Ok.

I hope they do go for 2800.00

I should be asking the Anal Hobbit for advice now.

It comes down to this... You either gave them notice or you didn't. The didn't is easy.

If you gave them notice on time, you tell them the contract is over, deal done.. and move on your way. Ignore them if needed, if they came after you it would open them up for legal problems that would end up paying you.

It's as simple as that.. You don't ever, pay for something that you didn't use, get, or agree on. No communication issues, email issues, or screwed up ICQ are excuses. Deal is done, it's done.

It's how trash companies try to make an extra dime when they have nothing else.. Don't let them win, don't give them a damn thing!

I would settle, because it will take a lot of time to sort this out - and in the end you will loose more...

Egomancer

tell them you will give them Itunes Gift cards instead of money

In terms of settlement, you need to ask yourself what you think an attorney can reasonably negotiate for you (not some pie in the sky idea where Navisite leaves you alone forever without collecting a dime because that's not going to happen....but the best deal a good negotiator would get you based on all the facts in play)
Then add to that number what you'll have to pay in attorney fees.

If that total number is more than the deal they're offering, you should take the deal.

FYI, get a full release in writing before sending them the funds. Should be a standard language form that the attorney has on hand that releases you from any further obligation to the company if you pay $X amount by X date.

DON'T send any money until you've received a letter like that signed by an officer of the company or their legal counsel. Otherwise the money you send could be considered a "payment towards the total you owe"

:2 cents:

Exactly.

In my experience a 50% settlement on a disputed debt -- especially one like this that's more-or-less legitimate -- is pretty standard. If you hire a lawyer, he'd be advising you to take it, pretty much without regard to the merits, because you're getting down into the territory where taking the settlement is cheaper than fighting.

I'd say, pay the man and move on with your campaign to make sure nobody in the business is ever again tempted to do business with these assholes.

yes...it is settled...jupiter hosting just fucked themselves in the ass...lol

I will pay them if they agree to my $$ terms.

$4,500.00 is just too much for me to swallow in shakedown money.
The Asian Gangster days are behind me and the personal principle alone on this wont allow me to do it. I think I would rather fight. Even if it ends up costing me a little more.

Ill keep you posted.
I hope they accept my 2800.00 offer. I do want to put this behind me.

Wow that sucks, move on over to NatNet babe.

;)

send them 3 pics of spiders with 7 legs

Whatever they offer, make sure you have it in wirting, not email. On paper. And make sure that they will not report it to the credit bureau as a bad debt.

Send them a drawing of a spider and tell them it is worth 5000.00 but you will accept a lower amount for the drawing in order to settle.

Totally fair; I was just making a prediction about what your lawyer may suggest based on common practice and the pure economics of the situation.

But sometimes, it's not just about the money. I have been there too. Sometimes you just gotta draw the line.

I do hope they take your $2800 offer.

BP, tbh if they suggested 50% from me, that'd pretty much just anger me, they have been nothing but headaches from me since I joined them so even half payment would be a HUGE ripoff to me (in my personal situation with them)

That is just me, but also I dont live in USA so it doesnt totally matter for me anyways I guess, but still, for my situation, if anybody owes anything, THEY should owe ME!

Just my :2 cents:

Nope I'm not

Dis is why i hosts wit da webair crew dey work wit you not against!

Great advice webair!


:thumbsup:pimp

Looks like they wanna play ball:

"The lowest we can go is $3500"
James P. Spiller
Supervisor of Credit / Collections

Whats my next move?

Like I said this had the feel of bartering in a chineese sweat shop

tell em , ok let me see cause i have to "borrow" money from my brother....

then come backa nd say I can only come up with 2500

then send a Goat to James P. Spiller with a note "fuck me" on it

seems they are hurting , over under on em being in biz is 6 months

http://www.childrensmuseum.org/cosmi.../jupiter_b.jpg

350

"The lowest we can go is $3500"

What a bunch of clowns. :1orglaugh

Do like chinese people do :
Okay, then I offer 1500 $.

you were willing to pay 4 months (2800), a lawyer would be 1k at least - so settling for $3500 and get rid of the idiots and the headache might be the best

bat + kneecaps

Jesus christ quit being a dip and take the $3500 offer. You've already lucked out that they're not just calling your bluff because this isn't a case of hardship or actually having any actual basis to dispute the amounts.

Contractually, you don't have a leg to stand on and you've already done arguably as well as a lawyer would have, even if not, you've not had to pay any such fees which is your pickup.

If they knew there was a thread that had dozens of disgruntled customers inside it and that it was setting a collections precedent I can assure you they would be happy to retract their settlement offer.

If you settle you need a mutual release before you pay them anything and it needs to be written appropriately. We've already 'navigated' clients through 'Navisite' settlements, payment plans, full releases. Just call or email me after 11:30am est.

Best,

Brad

LOL.
I think I may actually use this.

Hey look everyone!
Its James Spiller from Navisite.

Everyone say hello and give him a warm welcome!

Ill probably hit you up.

Im in Anal Hobbit mode right now.
Im actually thinking I dont want to pay them at all now.

Has anyone actually tried taking this all the way yet?

Maybe we should see what happens.

Ive lost 10k on a Single Blazer Game bet and didnt bat an eye.

This would be much more entertaining even if I lose.

I really dont like being pushed around. This is afterall me tucking tail between my legs and letting someone shake me down.

If they had accepted my $2800.00 I would have very truthfully done it for sure. It looks like they are still trying to push me around. $3500.00 wont do it.

NO DEAL....

There is no hardship, there is no problem with paying. I have the money and they dont.
For only this little amount im willing to fight. Fuck them for trying to push me around.

They want to fight me for 9 friggin k then im game.

The fun has yet to begin.

Good for you, if you have the money to fight this and take it all the way I would go for it just on principle alone

I love seeing people stand up for what is right

and even if you don't win and have to pay the $9k, you might light a spark under a MUCH bigger fishes ass than yours and they might take it higher than you possibly could have and knock those assfucks in the gut
