“AOL is pure scum.”
Most big business is that way too.
Any company that asks and gets your SOCIAL SECURITY number has an incentive to screw you. They can make your CREDIT life a living hell that takes you ten times more time to straighten out.
Don’t give any of them you social security number unless you want this treatment.
If they treat you right, then you pay your bill, simple - yes? If they abuse you you stop paying.
I’ve learned to NEVER (Repeat - NEVER) allow an untrusted source access to your money by way of debiting your debit or credit card acount.
RE: Your post # 11 regarding cell phone carriers. I’m reading the many, many Sprint threads popping up lately here at FR.
I’m a disgusted Sprint customer also, but at least now we know how to get out of a Sprint contract if necessary!
