I entered into a contract to hire a wedding DJ with the local ?Sounds Unlimited.? Diagnosed with Lyme disease I had to cancel the wedding with 60 days advance notice. At the time the staff agreed and we discussed a possible date of August 8th. I never have rescheduled my wedding as I am still recovering. On August 27th, I received a call from Sounds Unlimited stating that I had never cancelled the August 8th date and would now owe over $1,000 in fees! I never agreed on an August 8th date and never signed a contract they wrote up for that date. They sent me to a collections agent who refused to discuss the situation, refused to provide a copy of the contract (that I knew did not exist), and who only wanted to take me to court one phone call. The agent also said he would put a collection mark against my fiance who never signed the contract to begin with and sure enough he did just that. I contacted Sound Unlimited for assistance with this matter and to tell them how abusive the hired agency was but they were of no help whatsoever and referred me back to the collection agency. The next thing I know I?m being served. I requested the court to send me a copy of the contract that I supposedly signed because no one else would. Then, suddenly, the attorney sent it back to the collections agent. Now a new story emerged. In fact they were now deciding that I did not properly cancel the original contract because 60 days notice was not enough and I needed to provide 120 days notice according to the contract. Well that?s much more convenient for them, but that was not the story to begin with and I?m outraged at this behavior.
