You did not fulfill the contract therefore you are subject to the fees WHEN you signed said agreement

 Whether it was from you cancelling or cancelled because of non payment, its still your fault and you have to pay the ETF. Its in the contract paperwork you originally signed when they came to install your services. The amount they took out would be what you owed from your bill plus the $250.oo ETF. Why should they call you or send you notice for something you agreed too previously. When you gave them your card information, and signed the contract for service you gave them permission if for ANY REASON your service contract was terminated to withdraw these funds. Maybe next time READ THE CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!!

You can cry all you like but it still wont absolve you of your responsabilities. This is the problem with the consumer today. You THINK they will work with you, they wont. You THINK youre above what you signed, youre not. Now these companies are holding ppl not only to the contract they signed, but they will even tack on interest on the money you owe because you havent paid it.
