I just can't buy this for a couple reasons.
First off anyone "tricked" into signing a contract deserves what comes to them. I'm tired of hearing about "dubious sales techniques" and "predatory lending" type arguments. If you sign a contract and don't understand what it says on the paper that is on you.
As far as them altering contacts I find it hard to believe that this is some type of organizational practice. Maybe a person in the sales office did it and for that they should get in serious trouble but I just can't believe the ticket office, as a practice, would do things like this when it is so obviously going to come out.
And I am done...I have written way too much on something I don't really care about. Either way.
