GET THE STRAIGHTJACKET BACK OUT!


"Hello, AT&T? Just calling to let you know you can
KISS MY ASS!
"




Check your phone bills very carefully every month. I've been fighting AT&T for over four years now, with many, many calls in the last two years. Without us EVER signing up for it, they are charging us $19.02 each month on our Qwest bill for long distance service! There are no federal regulations to stop them from doing this. I have even recieved a letter from AT&T stating that I have requested termination of the charges/services, have a cancellation confirmation order number, have many pages of notes with names, times, dates of my many phone conversations with them, and yet, the charge remains on my Qwest statements each month. I, of course, refuse to pay it and have not paid it for quite some time, but think about how many thousands of Americans are paying that portion of their monthly bill without even realizing it! CHECK YOUR BILLS!!! I have now been forced to get the Iowa Utilities Board involved on my behalf. The woman at that agency said they really don't have any jurisdiction over this, but she'll see what she can do if I send her a copy of all of the above and a cover letter. AAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH! I'll be contacting the senate/house Federal Communications Commission committee members about this as well. CHECK YOUR BILLS! Yeah, it's been a fun morning.

Hate those mornings. Phone company, insurance company, utilities, all staffed by people who can't do a thing about that problem. What a world.

You could send your story to The Consumerist. Nothing works quite as well as some nasty publicity.

I'd report them to the FCC and the IA Attorney General. Just to wake 'em up a little. Oh, and the BBB, as well.
