Ryan I know you meant no harm, but CO staff looks for anything to ruffle feathers, they love to see how far one would go to prove a point. Sounds like you had the smile and they had the last laugh. CO is losing customers left and right, how they treated HP is no wondered why HP dumped them when they did.
If you want, dispute the charge on the CC, If anything it will delay payment to CO for 90 days! Maybe by then they will have gone BK and you wont have to worry about paying them
