Gateway advertised a payment plan. Like a 36 month plan or something. But instead it ended up being a revolving credit plan with 26% interest. Then to dodge the attacks they sold our accounts to different banks so that now we do not do business with Gateway. In fact so many people have been scammed that the bank itself sold our accounts to another company so that now I am paying someone totally unrelated to gateway.

Holy crap! That sucks dude! I hope someone can help you out! Guess you'll never buy a gateway again, eh?
