What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? NC
Planning on buying a business that has 3 phone lines going to it. I called around to get a rate quote from a few local phone service companies. At most the only information I gave them was my name, contact cell number, home email address, new unregistered yet DBA and the business address/phone# that I needed a quote for. I also gave a tentative date of closing in the future. So one of the companies (major one) decided to be proactive and sent me paperwork to sign and send back to them when closing of business occurs. I never sent them back anything. The paperwork included a statement that both old and new account holder needed signed and send back to be able to transfer business phone numbers from them to me. The sale fell thru and today(Sunday?) I found out that the businesses phone service has been changed along with my new (unregistered) DBA name showing up on caller ID. How can they do this without any paperwork from me or contacting the original account holders for authorization???
What should I do to rectify this and not receive a bill for a business I do not own. Even worse the food that is currently being sold is crap!!! I don't want my future DBA name showing up on caller ID...especially with the crappy food that is being served now. It can hurt my business in the future... customers thinking that I will have the same Items and poor quality. There still may be a chance in the future to buy the business at a bigger discount before it closes. It's Sunday and I can't get up with anyone at the phone company. What legal action do i have?
thanks
