I *finally* canceled my aol account, after paying $25.90/month for the last nearly 11 years for a service I haven't used since 1999 smash

I don't feel nearly as bad about it as I did when I canceled my prodigy account in 1995 tipsy

It's the end of an era tipsy

I could too, I tried to cancel a few years ago and they offered me some ridiculous rate (<$10/month) which apparently promptly went back up at some point. This time I wasn't swayed wink

The actual problem was the bill was being paid on a company card I don't usually get to see. I was ordering some new computers for my dad's biz when I saw the charges, so I canceled smile

I used the account for work for a while (yeah, we weren't too high-tech) so the company picked up the bill. Out of sight, out of mind smile

hehe, when I worked for Boost Mobile/Nextel we always had people calling in

Them: "I canceled this phone last year, I want a refund"
To which my response was "Well, I don't see anything on your account indicating a cancelation, and due to our non-refund policy I am unable to refund any time on the account; why haven't you called in to dispute charges earlier?"
Them: "Well, I don't check my bank account all the time"



Or, how about the chick I heard on "Handle on the Law" where there was 200k missing from their bank account because they didn't have good accounting practices :x...

I <3 people hehe
