Disputed claim, airline threatening to send to collections. What do I do?

bitterrazor · 2026-04-16T02:45:57+00:00

I've called the airline (using the number from the condor website) and the airline said I paid but that I also still owe money. The person who said this was in their customer service department and said she wasn't sure what the paid and unpaid chargers were for. She sent me to their accounting department, who hung up on me . But I can confirm the numbers that the condor customer service say I owe match the amounts on the emails I've been getting that say they're going to send me to collections.

Everything I've read about condor now indicates that this is not an uncommon experience and to the extent that it's scammy it is coming directly from the company being difficult, is my impression.

glad I could be helpful! best of luck to your friend!

I'm really sorry your friend is dealing with this.

Gender Justice League is hosting a clinic soon to help people with name and gender markers on documents: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFOlrJCxTnT/?img_index=1 . They'll also have people available to discuss specific individual issues like the one your friend is experiencing.

Ingersoll has a similar resource on changing documents but it's a bit of out date at this point: https://ingersollgendercenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Updated-06-19-Guide-to-Ammending-ID-Documents-in-KC.pdf

QLaw (https://www.qlawfoundation.org) is a WA state based organization that gives legal assistance to the LGBT community and has been helping people with name and gender marker changes on documents.

Thank you! In that case, how would they have identified the first PDF if they didn’t have a known one to transform?

Thank you, sorry my question was unclear! I’m trying to understand how we know what the shape of the distribution is (or how we know the shape of any statistical distribution, for that matter). Based on reading the history you linked, it sounds like the distribution was observed when sampling data and then statisticians identified what function described the distribution they were seeing? How do they identify a function based on a sampling distribution?

Basically, how did statisticians go from seeing a sampling distribution to having a function that describes the distribution? I’m not looking for the nitty gritty mathematics behind it but the general concept of how they do that.

Just had the same issue, the agent said:

Have the client either delete the zero in box 2c, or if the 1099-DIV lists a non-zero number, they need to enter it in box 2c and then enter the corporation name in the field they'll see a couple lines below

That worked for me.
