[comp.dcom.telecom] Sprint's Billing and Service

cml@cs.umd.edu (Christopher Lott) (04/03/91)

Here's our Sprint billing story - my housemate seems to have several
Sprint accounts, despite his repeated efforts to have them closed
down.  One month they didn't credit our account with one of our checks
and listed that amount on the next month's bill as a balance.

We sent in a copy of the cancelled check, got the credit, forgot about
it.  Then some time later an account statement for one of the old
accounts showed up, with the disputed amount shown as a credit
balance.  Seems that they applied the missing check to one of the
"closed" accounts instead of our active account.

So we asked for a refund check.  Got it some time back.  Hey, they had
their chance.  We don't feel too guilty about it.  Why in heck don't
they close old accounts out, finis, when asked?
