Hertz billed his credit card $2000 for the >(slightly cracked) rear bumper. They should not be debiting your credit card without your say-so because that could put you in a difficult position. I am surprised they expect people to sign blank chits, and would be interested to learn what would happen if you refuse, or endorse them with a maximum. What a reputable business would do, of course, is send you an invoice with a reasonable time to pay. Nobody can expect customers to meet enourmous and unexpected bills at no notice. And, of course, that assumes you are contractually liable. ========== M C Bucknall The Ferret ferret@ferret.sonnet.co.uk ========== http://www.sonnet.co.uk/ferret/ferret.htm Any commercial use of this material requires my permission.
