I consented for a $500 survey. When the Analyst arrived before they did the survey they said they required that I sign a two page document stating that they indeed were at my place of business. I didn't read the two pages as they lead me to believe that what I was signing was the $500 survey the Senior Area Manager had talked me into.
This was not true, what the document did say was that I was agreeing to pay $450 per hour. This was for 2 days @ $450 per hour and 10 hours per day. They were not here 10 hours. At the end of two days they presented me with a boiler plate document and an invoice for $9,000. I told them the fee quoted to me was $500. They promptly told me that I had agreed to pay them $450 per hour when I signed the document when they arrived. Then I told them that the Senior Area Manager showed me the line where I wouldn't have to pay anything if I wasn't satisfied. The Analyst told me that isn't what is written on the agreement.
I told them I wasn't going to pay no $9,000 for just talking to me. They did not provide any service that was helpful in my business. When they heard that I wasn't going to pay the $9,000 they increased the invoice to $11,000. I still told them I wasn't going to pay that amount.
The Analyst left without any money. Then the phone calls started coming two to three times a day. This week 2 heavy weights from IPA appeared at my office demanding payment and made other threats. They then informed me a new invoice would be faxed this coming Friday in the amount of $19,000. If that invoice wasn't paid we would be billed $4,500 per week until the invoice was paid. IPA should be charged with extortion and harassment tactics
