RE: AOL - denied wanting Sprint long distance phone service - AOL gave credit card information to Sprint anyway - Sprint charged account serveral times

But in March of 2003 I had aol and was talking to them and they said hold on and the next thing I knew Sprint was on the phone. Sprint offered a long distant plan and I said NO I was happy with Verizon. The next month I recieved a bill for 89 dollars .

I called Sprint and told them I did not authorize them for my long distant service " TAKE ME OFF" then I moved. On July 21st Sprint debited my account 191.dollars.

Four of my checks I had written was returned, from the deposit I put in for those checks. I called my bank and found out Sprint debited my account. So I called Sprint and was told AOL gave them my debit card number, because I knew I never gave it to Sprint!

So how can AOL give my card number to another company? Is'nt that illegal?

Could e-mail at Email User and give me an idea as to what to do.

Sincerely,

Janet Barnett
