Utah Couple Fined $3,500 by Online Merchant KlearGear Retains Lawyer,
Turns Tables

"There is an option to post updates to the report at no charge to
anyone," Ed Magedson, founder of RipOffReport told ABCNews.com. "For
example, if Kleargear.com reconsiders its decisions, Jen Palmer could
post an update to tell other consumers how the situation was
resolved." When the Palmers refused to pay the amount, KlearGear.com
reported their "debt" to one or more credit reporting agencies. When
the Palmers disputed the debt with several credit reporting agencies,
KlearGear.com continued to maintain that the debt was owed and then
demanded a $50 "dispute fee" because they attempted to dispute the
debt, the couple says.
