Chards - inconsistent cancellation charges methodoloy, lying
The explanation provided is inconsistent with the discussions. They did not allow me to use the current market price on Monday but instead insisted and set a line that Fridays is to be used. Although it has been repeatedly stated that pricing was based on the current market rate, the actual application does not reflect this. these discrepancies are clearly evident which is why they are scared to give the call records.
