>using the legal tools available to you is not immoral

Legality and morality are two different concepts that are not always mutually inclusive. What would be the point of two separate words if this wasn't the case? Under your logic slavery wouldn't slavery have been moral?

That said the people OP is dealing with arent likely at the height of morality themselves and my personal moral code is "do unto others as they would do unto you".

Thank you for highlighting this, you are completely correct. The "rule of thumb" was not a moral law to follow.

I lack the eloquence at the moment to reformulate my statements other than to say that in financial interactions between humans and companies people tend to treat companies like they would other people while companies tend to treat people like they would other companies.
