The power of companies. They write words and numbers on a stamped letter and now it's god spell.

I once played dumb to an importer abusing fees, after monthes of bouncing mails to different people babbling the same thing over and over, then dealing with a 'lawyer firm' who behaved the same (basically nobody knew precisely what they were talking about). They suddenly accepted to give me a rebate of NN%. So I received a new bill with 100$ - '80$ promotional deal' = 20$ (normal fee). A very partial grin ensued.

I don't think anyone is treating the company's word as law. Just about everything is open to negotiation just about all of the time.

I'm assuming you mean "gospel" and not the 1971 Broadway musical.

People have and will pay the minute they receive an official looking letter.
