A few years ago, my mother died and even though I followed their instructions to fax her death certificate and letters testamentary, AOL continued to debit her checking account.  The only way to disengage them was to close the account.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ActAdvGirl]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 20th 2007 11:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</guid><description><![CDATA[Verizon ? It would have been smarter to say that you spend a lot of time at your friends apartment near Belmont & Central where they have poor service and request to cancel since the problem will never be resolved without them adding a new cell site! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2007 12:42AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</guid><description><![CDATA[When my Dad passed away, cellular one wanted all kinds of information after submitting a copy of his death certificate.

His complete wacko behavior will not tempt me to leave Verizon. I am staying with Verizon forever and ever, and I hope this quack will not be tempted to sign up with AT&T because he will even regret making this stupid decision. Verizon is the BEST and it will always be the Best wireless provider from then on. Verizon has the best service and it will continue to outshine AT&T.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anibethc40]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 21st 2007 3:33AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been a Verizon subscriber for over 4years....never had a problem with service...but on the other hand my sister is with AT&T....she has problems with dropped calls....I always kid her and say---Ver-iz-on........I don't care if AT&T has that Iphone.....their service doesn't match Verizon's......]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Happy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 28th 2007 12:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh please, Verizon is as good as it gets.  You can't match their service.  I have bits of service in the subway.  If he was really that desperate to lose something so good maybe he shoulld've really done it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Syed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 25th 2008 10:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</guid><description><![CDATA[AOL doesn't charge you to cancel an account - all you have to do is call and cancel and they will stop billing/debiting.

It hasn't.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nancy H]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 26th 2008 11:46AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/08/20/man-fakes-death-to-kill-cell-contract/</guid><description><![CDATA[I happen to like Verizon as my wireless provider. I had Cingular and I had a lot of dropped calls and no signal in a lot of places that I had a signal with ATT.I cancelled my Cingular on the day they told me to,since it was the last billing day & then they charged me for another month, because they said I had to cancel it at midnight of that day to avoid paying another month. Nice! Thanks for crappy reception & service Cingular! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Colleen Whitlow]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 27th 2008 8:44PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
