You agree to reimburse us or any Representative we may appoint for any legal expenses your actions may make us incur. d. In addition, we will attempt to recover fraudulently disputed charges plus additional costs via a third-party collection agency and your account will be reported to all credit bureaus as a delinquent collection account.
