All is O.K.

Gave them a call and asked them what the hell.....and they fixed it.
I guess that I sighned up for access just before they cut my bill, so I had used the internet without billing knowing that I had the plan. So they billed me $.25 per mb. They seemed like this happens all thee time.

Oh yeah...They gave me a free month of access for my worry.

Pleased to hear it and a free month to boot

What did you say your cellphone number was again?

I think that I would have dropped dead out of shock if I saw a bill like that!

You were lucky that they agreed to fix the error right away.

I would have re-directed my U-33 to their headquarters.

Don't forget that this wasn't an error. Sorry mate, in XXI century it's impossible. Heck, even C64 would be enough to deal with a simple database.

This is a common practice in Poland - when you can screw a consumer, do it. Some people would notice, complain and that's ok, the company doesn't loose (let's face it - when you choose an offer, sign the deal etc. you don't want to do it again anywhere soon). But some people won't notice they are being screwed or the amount of money would be too small for them to worry.

And that's precisly when the company cashes-in.

It happened to me lately when I signed a deal with ISP. They were double-billing me, even after my complaint. This is for 100% done on purpose.

This reminds me of a insurance companies, nr 1 rule there is - always reject first claim. Then reject another. Only pay when a client is extremely devoted to getting his money.

And to think that some insurances are forced by the law...

Well, that's my two cents. Cheers.
