Cheri, you are not only one that we are going through same thing..
We calleed AOL to cancel our account.. they putting on hold and stuff like what you went through.. they are avoiding us to cancel account thats why..
so.. finally we went on live tech.. and told them we went through hell on the phone.. they offered us few months free, I said NO we want to close our aol account.. they kept making excuses and avoiding..
so finally they said its done close account.. but i keep getting bills..
we kept bugging them.. nothing works.. so we didnt pay the bill for almost 6 months.. image that they still BILL us.. ughh.. but we kept our conversations on tty and live tech that we printed.. and stapled to the bill if they want sue us for not paying bill..
