I have a question that might seem silly....
Has anyone with a membership to NBL looked at it to see if this is even true? Or what those providers side of the story is?
I mean granted, the guy admits he was a cheap jerk who screwed them. And clearly they werent that bright for not getting their donation from him BEFORE starting service. Which would have avoided this whole damn mess.
But its possible that this comedy of amateur night errors on all 3 sides of the supposed situation are actually even worse then the OP makes it sound.
I mean really, he says he had an excuse not to pay. What do they say? That might be a relevant question.
