Unfair Early Termination Fee

My alarm monitoring company

signed me up for a 5 year contract.

After 2 years, I moved and

discontinued the monitoring of my

alarm. The contract did not make

mention of any early termination

fee, but the company sent me a bill

for the remaining 3 years of the

contract, due in full in 15 days (or

else they're turning it over to a

collection agency). Is this fair

considering there was nothing

spelled out saying that there is an

early termination fee?

Re: Unfair Early Termination Fee

This is a common practice by these companies. There probably is some language in the contract about it. If so, you can probably negotiate the fee down some. If there really is nothing in the contract about this, then you would not have to pay.
