Complaint Review: Aplus.net

More than just being horribly incompetent (my site was down, inexplicably, more than it was up) they are using what seem to me to be fraudulent practices in an attempt to get my business back.

Nearly a year after closing my account with them, I got a 'bill' in the mail. The form says 'Billing Statement' with an amount due of $149.25
The service details say "Ongoing fee from Nov 14 2003 to February 13 2005"
This statement arrived in the mail yesterday (October 28 2003), and this morning I got an email that reads:

"We mailed your bill for your Internet services however we have not yet received your payment.

We would appreciate it if you would take care of this today.If your statement did not find its way to you, please give us
a call or you can find it on-line at:
