Billing practices a Alltel are unbeliveable! I went to use my service and was transfered to Alltel's voice mail and requied to talk to a billing person and informed that my current monthly billing was due... I had not recived the current months' billing, it was not due till the 20th of the month, "you must pay your bill to have service", I paid, as I am in Real Estate and need this serivce for my work as most of us do... Two hours later -no service-, called - same message - transferd to billing - "you owe $465.00 on a bill which your SS# appears as paying party", the only person I had done this for was daughter when she was in college - 13 months ago.
Because of her job after college she drop Alltel because of roaming charge disputed with Alltel in the Oklahoma City area... Fine, but because she was unable to agree with Alltel, she gave up and changed carriers... I was unware of this action.
If Alltel can stop my service because I was on her billing and not even give me notice of this action as most honest business would do to correct or collect the amount do.
I belive this action was in vilation of Public Law 95-109 as set under FTC ruling and regs. The use and penelty of one's SS# and threat of Credit Rating to collect, threaten without proper notice to contracted party is worth the filing of complanit. I would join others if they have had similar problems with Alltel
