      “Guy before me did it.” Case closed. Housekeeping ain’t checking shit. I was in Savannah and we got the maintenance guy to give us the unlocked remote for the TV, because nobody gives a fuck. You gotta remember, it’s a bunch of shlubs like us making shit money doing a ton of work. If they walk in and the room is ice cold, they’re putting the thermostat on whatever and walking away.

      Good luck with that. Collection agencies don’t care a whit how valid the debt is. They just care about how much they have to inconvenience you before you’ll pay them to go away.

      Afaik when talking about computers you can be charged by acessing some thing (a site or a feature) that you know you are not supposed to. The same logic may apply here. If you got into an hotel, the unit was lockedand you used some trick to get it to do what you want, it could be illegal. They do not need a sign

      OK, but my point was that the hotel will have washed their hands of your debt by the time it’s at a collections agency. How much time does it take you to dispute a collection note on your credit report? I’d guess it takes less time to take the AC unit out of service mode before you check out.

          I know how credit bureaus work. How often are you doing this that you’re able to find the forms, fill them out, and submit them all within seconds? Not to mention logging in to your accounts…

          Even if you’re doing this all the time, it will still take longer than resetting the AC unit before you leave. I don’t know why some people seem to seek out conflicts…

              I think you misinterpreted the tone of my posts, they weren’t meant to be spiteful or imply that you’re advocating for anything bad. I was just trying to point out that sometimes it’s easier to avoid conflict, even if you feel your actions are justified.

              Have a nice day.
