Domestic Linen False contract Kalamazoo, Michigan
Karen Schma a representative from Domestic Linen came into my place of business to try to get me to take services from Domestic Linen. I took price quotes from her. She told me it would be $30 to $35 a week she wasn't quite sure because she wasn't sure how many towell I would go through. I asked her if there was a contract because I only had a 6 month lease on the building. She told me I only needed to give the sales rep a 30 day notice to quit service. She had me sign a paper stating that I was allowing the salesman to bring product into the building. I was going to start service in about 5 weeks. In about 4 weeks I received a letter in the mail with a 5 year contract and a weekly bill of $126.50.
I called Domestic Linen and told them I did not sign this 5 year contract. He asked me if that was my signature on the paper. I said yes but that was not the paper that I signed. I told him that I did not do business like this and I did not want their services. He said you signed a contract and if you don't take the service I will be in a breach of contract and they would have to make me pay.
I immediately called a lawyer. In the mean time I recieved a letter from their lawyer stating I owed them over $16,000 and they wanted payment within a week.
I of course did not pay because I don't owe them anything. I never took one towell or service from them. I recieved a arbitration letter. I don't know how a company can do this when it is completely fraudulent.
I did not sign a contract. I have lost sleep over all this and my 2 young children are having to go through this nightmare with me.
