Any tips on battling companies trying to take financial advantage of consumers?
I am sick of companies (i.e. electric, apartments, water, cell phone) trying to take advantage of me and get more money out of me when accounts are closed, bill me for service that I didn’t use, charge me for things that were broken before I even moved in. How can I fight and even stop this from constantly happening?

don’t buy their product. What you focus on grows.
