I cancelled my AOL account two months ago and am still being billed from my checking account. I withdrew all the money from my account thinking that the would not honor the monies owed. Well the bank paid the aol fee and then charged me the $25.00 overdraft fee for the last two months. I am very angry about this, not only AOL but my bank also. I spoke with someone at the bank that told me if there was no money available there would be no withdrawl, well I did not get this in writting, ro request that the bank not pay the fee they have withdrawn the money again. I will never use AOL again. I thought they were a reliable and honest company, but it appears I was wrong. Please Help if you can.

Sincerely

Diane Johnson

Rebuttal:
I had the same problem with AOL...8 years ago! Obviously my decision to NEVER use them was a good one. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you've lost that money and you won't see it again. They can bleed you dry and you have NO RECOURSE. Do what I did, close out your checking account and open another one. I know it's a pain in the a*s, but if you don't AOHell will continue to charge you.

I lost around 70.00 to AOL. After I closed out my checking account they had the audacity to send me a BILL! Yes, a bill for 76.00. I just laughed and threw it away and it never did show up on my credit reports.

Consider this a valuable lesson learned. AOL isn't nicknamed AOHell for nothing and it's a VERY VERY bad idea to EVER give out your checking account info to ANYONE.
