My question involves ethics and the practical rules of the game. It happened to me when my current internet service provider, America Online, did not charge my credit card the monthly fee of $21.95 for a period of 8 months. When they realized their error, they promptly charged my credit card for the previous 8 months in one lump sum charge. What, if any, recourse does one have in this situation? I don't think it's fair to charge me for their error in the way they did it - in one lump sum. Do I have a dispute open to me?
YOU COULD HAVE ASKED WHY THEY DIDN'T CALL... You could ask if they could do half now and half next month... NOTHING LEGAL WISE...
aol has been double billing my cc each month .They must be trying to get your 8 months from me. what's the matt the with the goons any?
"aol has been double billing my cc each month .They must be trying to get your 8 months from me. what's the matt the with the goons any?" They act like incompetent bastards. I will not challenge them on my billing. Instead, I will go to a different service provider.
now wouldn't this be great if it caused you to go over limit on the card and the card co. hit you with an over limit fee? Maybe aol and the cc are working together and splitting the fees!
If a person agrees to a set monthly charge against his credit card, how is it legal for them to charge your card for 8 months in one billing cycle? Haven't they breached the contract you signed or is that situation addressed in your agreement with them? Yes you authorized the charge, but didn't they also agree to collect it once a month? Besides putting a person in a possible position of being overlimit, the person who pays his cc bills in full each month would be put in a bind as well. Just wondering tml
