| Why is it so hard to report the facts? Where in the linked story does it say there was a $26,000 Error? It's more like Citibank charged him a higher interest rate meaning if he pays his loan out then it would cost him an extra $26,000. FTA it says it was an extra 1% on his loan.
I do hope the guy wins something for his troubles because of Comcast's mistake.

| I'll give you that its only 1% but $26K is still a lot to have to pay out for a $138 mistake that you did not cause. Especially If you dont already have the means for paying the extra. I look iat it this way Thats a brand new car when he retires or a nice nest egg for retirement investments, Actually that could buy you a condo or 2-3 bedroom small house in some parts of retirementville Florida. |

| Does no one RTFA? It was not a $138 mistake, that's the credit that Comcast owed the customer. The dispute was over the returned modem. The guy returned it and some how Comcast didn't record that correctly so they reported to the credit agencies that he owed them $220.
Comcast is in the wrong here but so is DSLR for an inaccurate report.

| Sorry Meant to say $220 mistake.. and that is as-is. The mistake was them saying he owed $220 and then that amount resulted in collections and a scar on his credit.
I'll agree comcast is wrong... period. DSLR somewhat... |

It's not really inaccurate. You just need to read the story to find out what the $26,000 error was. In this case the error was with his credit rating which was screwed up by Comcast's own error. If his credit rating wasn't harmed he wouldn't owe an extra $26,000 on the loan.

If his credit rating wasn't harmed he wouldn't owe an extra $26,000 on the loan. He also wouldn't be paying a rate 1% higher if he bothered to get his credit rating squared away before signing for the loan. Comcast doesn't lose this in court. They are on the hook for their error of approx $200 and maybe some lawyers fees, but not for the fact he signed the loan for a higher rate.
