I switched mobile phone companies a couple of months ago to Verizon, from another company that will go nameless, but whose name rhymes with "AT&T".

I waited until right before my contract ended to avoid having to pay a cancellation fee, and tried to set up two accounts at once, the old one AT&T, and the new one at Verizon.

Unbeknownst to me Verizon kindly cancelled my AT&T account for me, two days before my two year contract had expired.

A couple of weeks later AT&T sent me a bill with a $66 "early termination fee" on it. Rather than pay it I left various messages with folks there to talk to about it, and never heard back.

Then I received a "past due notice" for that early cancellation fee, which I also did not pay, but I did try to get someone to respond to my requests...again...with no responses...again.

Went fishing this past weekend, and came home to a letter from AT&T saying that they regretfully had to cancel my service due to me not paying the early cancellation fee for my service that I had cancelled.

They regret cancelling my service due to the early cancellation fee that I didn't pay when I cancelled my service?

Kinda glad I don't use that company any more.

Fish on...
