I’ve often wondered what would happen in this very scenario.

Having a tornado demolish her home was bad enough.

But weeks later when Ann Beam received a $2,000 cable bill for destroyed equipment, she was floored.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” Beam said. “I was like: ‘What are they thinking?”‘ Time Warner Cable billed a number of Wheatland residents for equipment damaged in the Jan. 7 twister. Beam’s bill covered five cable boxes and five remote controls.

Hopefully she told them to shove it. It sounds like nothing more than a scam to get money from the insurance company and they are using people to do it. Of course they say it was a mistake and she doesn’t really owe that money.

How many people turned those bills in to their insurance companies? How much has Time Warner received by them doing so?
