AT&T tried to charge me for a long distance phone call on a number I closed out years before (someone else's phone number). After every bill I called customer service and got it straightened out, only to get another bill again next month. The last time I told them that if I got another bill I was taking them to court and I would win, even if it was only eight dollars. The bills ended. More recently, I canceled my AT&T cell phone because I was fed up with their crap and mistakenly believed that I had canceled the wireless internet as well. Receiving another bill, I called and requested that the service be shut off. I was told it couldn't be done until the last payment was received along with the early termination "poison payment". I sent it all in. Then I got another bill. And I didn't send them any more money - I had paid them off. So they sold the "debt" to a collection agency which was very aggressive - they persistently called from different phone numbers with different area codes all day long for weeks - and I didn't answer any of them because I didn't recognize the numbers. I looked the numbers up and they all belonged to the same agency. It must have cost them several times over what they thought I was going to roll over for in employee man hours alone, not to mention the connection charges. I eventually paid twenty five bucks to my current carrier and got another phone number to get rid of their harassment. It's at the third collection agency now, and I'm not going to send them any money either - I paid AT&T off and I'm not paying any more. F$%@ 'em.
