The bill of mysteries. The Kafkaesque case involving a law firm in the capital of Turri and a well-known telephone operator comes from Sassari.
"I cancel the Ittiri firm's line in 2018 - reports the lawyer, who wishes to remain anonymous - and I pay the invoice". But in 2019 a bloodletting bill fell on him: 600 euros, of which 495 referred to the country's disconnected users .
"Then I break down the expenses, paying Sassari but not Ittiri because the debt had no reason to exist". But if, according to the lawyer, the mistake is made by the other party, this thinks it best to cut off the internet and telephone of the Sassari offices . The professional then makes a complaint and everything is reactivated within a few days. It is only a matter of a truce, lasting however four years, because in March 2023, as from the realm of the dead, the invoice reappears with the monstrous charge.
"And with this - explains the lawyer Josè Porru, who followed the case - another deactivation of the line which only allowed the colleague to receive calls, seriously damaging his business". Paradoxical situation also because, having contacted the manager, the answer is only one: "There are no unpaid bills".
The famous last words given that, just five days later, the post office delivers the contractual resolution with the very concrete ghost of 495 euros to be paid . "So we activate the mediation body - continues Porru - but they don't show up".
The last resort is to turn to the judge who, on June 26, orders the immediate restoration of users. "And although it was an emergency measure - reports the" victim "- it took them two weeks to give me back the internet and telephone". But it doesn't end there, the manager finally admits that the famous 495 euros were not due and the sum then goes back into oblivion . Or at least hopefully.
