Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

Dispute over payoff balance

I lived in LA, bought a computer on monthly notes from Dell in TX, moved to AK. I called Dell and was told the payoff amount. I paid what they told me;I sent in a check clearly marked ''payoff acct#...''. Dell cashed the check. I have received a bill from Dell. They want more money. Can they do this?

Re: Dispute over payoff balance

They can do it. You can question them as to where the additional charges came from.

Part of the problem is using the phone and not getting a figure in writing. They could have given you the wrong figure, or you could have written down the wrong figure.
