Re: Personally..
said by Rick  : a great way to fight back against an out of control legal system that awards people 20 million bucks for a spilled cup of coffee. a) i'm sick of hearing about this. first of all the award was under a million dollars (and actually ended up in a secret settlement). secondly, this was not about spilling coffee, this was about mcdonalds knowingly heating coffee to unsafe temperatures despite the fact that they knew that people were being harmed by it and that many places are able to sell perfectly acceptable coffee at much lower temperatures.
b) why the hell do i have to input the "Date When You Received the Welcome Kit or the 2007 Arbitration Notice" in order to opt out????? i'm sure they put this there as a barrier to actually going through with this. |

| b) why the hell do i have to input the "Date When You Received the Welcome Kit or the 2007 Arbitration Notice" in order to opt out????? i'm sure they put this there as a barrier to actually going through with this. That's exactly what I was thinking. Who cares when we received the notice? The fact that IT WAS RECEIVED should be enough.

| Well, I logged on to my Comcast account and they do offer downloads of your previous bills. I think mine went back as far as March 07, I had transfered my account when I moved back in October and amazingly had some bills from my previous account (despite the fact that instead of transferring my account, they terminated it and I had to call them to reactivate it, that's twice in a row that Comcast failed me on the exact same issue.) However, the online bills didn't display any terms on it. But I did copy and paste my account number directly from my Comcast online account (for those of you having problems with the opt-out site saying your number is invalid, you may want to try it).
So... Long answer short. I really don't know if not entering the exact date you received the notice makes any difference, I just entered the date of the first bill I received after transferring my services. Maybe it's a legal loop-hole for them if you didn't enter the correct date.

said by nipseyrussel :does anyone know if not knowing this or putting the wrong date in causes a problem with this? IIRC, the notice in your bill said that you had to reply within 30 days from when you received it. So might use it to disregard opt-out requests where the date is more than 30 days ago. |
