He previously rejected Best Buy’s offer to settle the matter for $1905.35, the cost of the computer, because it did not cover the interest accrued on the credit card. Zanetti provided a receipt dated September 18, 2020 at 17:11 for the exchange, investigation letters sent by Best Buy and credit card account statements as evidence.
