So, I had a pull list at a local store for some time. I always stayed paid up on it for a few years up until about a year ago. I fell behind and had every intention of getting in there and picking it up but some financial issues stopped that. I fell further behind than I would have liked(probably $200 worth) after picking up a bit over $100 worth. I asked the clerk to go ahead and stop my list and I would come get the comics when I could.
Fast forward quite a few months later and I still haven’t retrieved my comics. My personal fault completely, I understand. However I received a letter threatening legal action from the owner for about 3 times what I should actually owe. While I accept fault for falling behind and am still happy to claim responsibility for what I truly owe, I’m more than a bit turned off by the threat, especially attached to a sum that’s incorrect. On top of that, he has made a habit of throwing tie-ins to my list which I have paid for previously and no doubt some of those titles are attached to my list now.
My question is, has anyone heard of legal action being taken? I’ve searched the web and have found zilch. Again, I accept blame for my part and this isn’t a “woe is me” post but I would like some insight into this if anyone has any.
