Additionally, my CC company has filed a dispute to get some of the money back but honestly we don’t care at all at this point. Were ok losing the money we have put into this fake TS. We just refuse to pay another dime to these losers. I was just concerned when I had read from other people that El Cid will sent them to collection for the remaining balance to this company out in California. Not sure if that’s true. Ugh what a freaking mess this is. Thank you for commenting back.
There is zero chance that your credit card company (or you) will ever get one single penny "back" from those parasites, but at least you have now stopped sending good money after bad. IF the "El Cid" parent company actually has a established corporate presence here in the U.S., you may very well get some future collection calls. However, they have no real leverage and you certainly know how to hang up the phone if or when you receive any such calls. Third party collection agencies get a percentage of whatever they can harass people into paying, so they will make an initial effort to try to make a buck. However, if the amount they can collect from you is precisely zero (and you very clearly tell them so), the calls will cease at some point.
We all make mistakes in life. Walk away from this one, absorb the lesson --- and don't look back.
