Details of my awful experience with CCL are available below, but suffice to say that CCL:
-Provided defective product
-Made numerous commitments to replace the defective product
-Delivered on none of its commitments
-Resorted to accusing me of fraud for disputing the charge with American Express
-Ultimately turned my account over to a collection agency
-Pinched me for $225 in order to make them go away
Very simple suggestion, unless you are accustomed to deplorable service, rude treatment and are interested in parting with you money without anything of value in return, I would strongly question doing business with this company.
