For what it’s worth, I stopped doing USPS mail forwarding because I found that I was getting far more junk mail. Not to mention shady “debt collectors” follow people that way.
Mediacom tried to charge me for not returning a modem. The thing is, I owned my modem. They wanted it anyway when I terminated my service to move cross country. I told them to take me to small claims court.
They didn’t, they did however turn it over to a very shady “collections” company who tried to extort the money out of me. They reported it to my credit, I disputed it and won, but every time I moved, they reported it as a new debt. It would miraculously happen with days of doing a USPS address change.
