Dear Revdex.com, The most recent account that Mr*** had with us started on 4/21/and was cancelled on 5/22/He paid nothing on this account as it was cancelled within the risk free guarantee so all invoices were clearedHe did have one other account with usThat account was
opened on 12/16/2014 and cancelled on 3/25/when we sent it to collections due to non-payment. We did receive emails from the customer although it was hard to decipher what the root issue was as the customer claimed that we were on drugs, that we were slaughtering Indians, and other nonsensical statements. There is nothing further for us to do for this customer as the accounts are cancelled and the one which had a balance was sent to collectionsThe balance before being sent to collections was $The invoice was valid and will now need to be paid through the collection companyHe may call PCS at *** *** if he would like to settle his accountWe will not be offering service to this customer.
