Ugh - post wedding headache - unbelievable!!! LONG vent

ETA: LOL, this took me FOREVER to type out with one hand, so someone please read it


So one of our GM returned his tux late to the tux rental place .... I'm talking THREE WEEKS late! While we were on our honeymoon, the tux place charged my DH $125 and we were like So we called and they told us that it was for the late fees for the GM's late tux and that the GM's CC had been declined, so they were charging DH's card per the contract.

Fine. I was not happy about that (that we were getting charged and had to have our GM pay us back) but he ended up giving DH the money so all cool, right?

Yeah up until a few days ago when DH sees a $175 charge on his credit card from the tux place. UMMMMM more than 6 months after the wedding. So he calls and yep, its for late charges on the same tux. Turns out, the total late charges were $500!!!!!!!! I believe they charge $25 per day. Since they couldn't get the $500 approved on his card ,they initially split it up into smaller increments and they haven't been able to charge his card since then, so they put it on DH's card.

So, first off I'm kinda annoyed that they didn't call us first to let us know what's going on before they charged DH's card. Seems like common courtesy. And there's still a $200 balance - so what, were they just going to charge that to us too without saying anything? Also, almost ALL of the guys' tuxes lost their jacket button on the day of the wedding!!!! And these were not cheap rentals. When we complained about it after the wedding, we got the major run around and with everything going on I just left it as is. Now they're charging us without even letting us know.

Secondly, DH calls his friend and tells him about the charge, asks him to give the tux place a call and get this resolved asap. His friend was upset about the whole thing and starts to insist that the tux place send over the contract where it shows that they can charge DH for any of the GM's lateness or whatever. I'm like, W T F does that have to do with anything???? YOU RETURNED IT LATE and you KNEW there was a $25 fee per day!!! You know you owe this money, just call them up, get it resolved and that's that. Ugh!!!

This is just so freaking stupid to me. Why should DH and I still have to deal with this - I feel like, as a good friend, he should just get it resolved with them or make an arrangement with them so we can be out of it.
