allow me to access your account unless you are signed on to your master screen name.

KITTYROC316: NOW, I AM RUDE BECAUSE I AM UPSET OF HOW I WAS TREATED
MHI Jen: I am sorry to hear that.:- (
KITTYROC316: I FEEL I WAS RIPPED OFF
MHI Jen: I recommend that you call during the early morning queue hours (7 A.M.- 12 P.M. EST) when the number of calls are lower.

I called AOl on 3/25/04 to cancel my account. Apparently, the rep that took care of me accidently put me through to tech support and my account was never canceled even though I said I wanted it cancel. I was not billed from end of March until June 7th. I assumed it was canceled. Then on June 8th, I checked my bank account balance to find it was in the negatives. Aol billed me $74. I have not used my account because I thought it was cancelled. I couldn't use my account because my modem and computer were not working, the main reason why I had cancelled Aol in the first place. I want my money refunded aol. What your company did was unfair. You also need to train your employees good customer skills. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE SOMETHING LIKE THIS, WITH OUT GIVING THE CUSTOMER THE RUN AROUND.

One rep told me that i might have to pay for my husband's account because my masterscreen name was made off his account. Aol, you got some nerve.
