Pittsburgher upset at Comcast

Woman claims Comcast violated privacy

A South Fayette woman so fed up with her cable television provider that she offered a body part as payment is suing the company after a copy of her check, including personal and financial information, wound up in cyberspace.

Krista Cooney and her husband, Chad, filed a federal lawsuit this week in Pittsburgh against Comcast Corp., claiming an employee of the cable giant e-mailed a copy of the check to people outside the company.

Unhappy with how much she was being charged, Cooney made out the check for "My Right Arm and Zero Dollars" and in the memo wrote for "Robbing Customers Blind."

"Some people do have a budget ya know," Cooney wrote on the payment slip accompanying her check.

The Cooneys could not be reached for comment. Their lawyer, Matthew Collins, said the couple wants to keep a low profile.

"They're still shocked and in fear of some major identity theft attempt," said Collins, who believes his clients are still Comcast customers. "They're so geeked by this."

While what she did was funny I can't believe someone would e-mail a copy of the check. That's just dumb.

Agreed.




I actually like Comcast.  We have cable,phone,internet.  All works great, and their cust. service has always been good.

I got no complaints.


[t/j]  I grew up before cable.  I remember when it came out.  It was a special thing.  Rich people got it.  Then we finally did.

I've always viewed it as a semi-luxury albeit this is almost 30 years later.  My point is I find it ironic that someone would complain about paying for something that is a luxury, not a right.  IMHO YMMV OMG LOL MPG All Rights Reserved Not valid in all states. [t/j]

While certainly not defending the actions of the Comcast employee for emailing the check, in my most humble of opinions if she can't read or ask explanation of her service agreement, then can't pay the entirety of the bill when it arrives because she's on a "budget," she's hardly justified in being disgruntled at Comcast in the first place over her poor financial planning and/or priorities.

Nah, yours was just fine, besides your post pre-dates mine by enough that it looks like I'm plagiarizing you.
