If a repair person took my TV away but has failed to bring it back as promised in the contract, what is the the correct procedure for handling billing dispute?
When he does bring it back, if we get into a dispute, what is my right as a customer and what is the correct procedure to handle it on the spot? Should I dial 911 to call the police to file a report? Should I pay first and then find some place to dispute where?? Or should I handle it in some other way?

The way to handle the television repair issue is to call the repair company and inquire of status. Follow up with a written letter memorializing the conversation with the representative of the repair facility.
Keep a copy of the letter for future use and need. I would wait until you received the return of your television in good working condition before you paid any invoice concerning it. If the television is not working to your satisfaction I would not pay the invoice.
