              We were receiving the Spokesman Review paper at our house. We decided not to continue the paper. The Spokesman Review mailed us a bill to continue the paper, we didn't respond because we no longer wished to receive the paper. We had no idea we owed them $16.75 or we would have called them and disputed it. So a few days ago we got a letter from A.R.M. **************** a debt collector for the $16.75, the first we new about the debt. Since we did not know about this debt I am concerned about it being attached to the credit bureau's and affecting our credit rating.

              The Spokesman Review has no care in the world for their Senior Citizen Readers! My Mother just received word from this lousy paper they will no longer be delivering her the Monday and Tuesday paper. She can have "digital access"!! My mother who is 84 years old WHO HAS NO COMPUTER WOULD NOT KNOW HOW TO TURN IT ON IF SHE HAD ONE!!! Plus to add to this grievous regard to senior citizens as well as citizens outside of Spokane County, they DID NOT LOWER THE COST OF THE MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION!!!! So basically you are still paying for the Monday Tuesday paper but not receiving it.
