Billed for Netzero usage
I just noticed that NetZero charged my credit account $11.90 on August 27 and are charging the same again on September 27. I called and complained that I never opened up an account and do not want to. They said my brother must have used my credit card number. I asked if there was any usage and they said no, but he was just paying for the availability to use their service. I said Tony (Anthony), my brother, died July 6 so he wasn't using it. They said they would cancel the account, but would not reimburse my credit card account for August or September, which I think is unfair.

billing
NetZero is BS. First of all, when i was 1st acquiring about the services, I asked the rep if needed a landline and i told her her i didn't have one but she said i could use the modem in my computer. Myself, not that computer savvy, So I'm like OK. OK I get the software and discover i do need the landline. So i didn't use the software after that. I assumed i wouldn't be charged because i didn't "Use" it...wrong! Netzero charges on availability not usage. Not explained to me by the rep. I decided to check the card that I had used for this, but not for this reason of this charge, just checking because i haven't in awhile. So, I saw this charge from the 8th of this month. I Googled the description UOL*NETZERO and saw multiple complaint links and the number, so i immediately called. They started talking about that availability charging jazz, and said that will cancel the account and billing. Then asked me why I'm just calling and that i should have canceled prior to the billing. I'm like what, then i went off...First of all if i was using the service i would have known my billing date. They charged me 50.70 3months of service. She goes on to say the funds wasn't available, I said yes and the wasn't available because i wasn't using the service and had I'd been using the service the funds would have been made available. She went to say they'll refund one month's service, because there considering my case, BS NetZero.

Rip Off
NetZero was my internet provider for months. One month I was charged and realized I hadn't use this service for a while and it was no longer needed. The reason I stopped using this service because it was not fast enough and could not accommodate my needs. I work from home as well as take online courses. I needed a faster service. I called NetZero to discontinue the service. When the representative heard I wanted to cancel the service, he immediately went into a sales pitch. He tried to offer me free service, etc. When I said no, I just wanted to cancel the service, he wanted to know why. I told him I didn't use it and I had another provider. Then he wanted to know who was the provider. I told him this was none of his business and I just wanted to cancel the service. He put me on hold and came back with another sales pitch. I told him NO, I just wanted to cancel the service. After constantly telling him I didn't want the the service, he said ok, he will cancel the service. At that time, he put me on hold and came back to say, the service had been cancelled and I would NOT be charged again . He also asked for an email address so he could email me the cancel confirmation notice. This all took place in June 09. Last week, July 09, I get a insufficient fund notice from my bank. NETZERO tried to bill my account again. After telling me no other charges would be billed. I also got the online confirmation notice that the account was cancelled. I contacted NETZERO to let them know what has happened and the fact that my bank account went into a negative balance because of what they did. NetZero immediately started trying to justify why they tried to charge me for another month because the account was not cancelled and how they are not responsible for the insufficient fund fee I was charged by my bank. I had other bills automatically being deducted from my account. Because of NETZERO, I had to pay almost $210.00 in fees to bring my account out of the negative. After explaining to NETZERO what happened to my account because of their greed, and letting them know I feel they are responsible for the negative fees, all I want them to do is pay the $35.00 it cost me for their mistake. Get this, this is what their solution was: On the day I contacted them about what had happened, they sent me an email with their apology and said the account has been closed (on that day). This is a lie because I called to have the account closed in June 09 after the june payment had already been charged to my account. After telling NETZERO I was going to file a complaint, they emailed me asking to post the complaint on their complaint board so they can serve their customers better. Now do they really think if I'm going to complain about them I would only post it on their complaint board so none of their other customers would read it? I don't think so! After all what I've done, I know I will not get any of my money back. I just wanted people to know how easy it is for companies to cheat you. Please be aware and check your bank statements. Hopefully this will not happen to anyone else.
Lesson well learned!

CANCELLING MY MEMBERSHIP
MY HUSBAND HAS TRIED TO CANCEL HIS ACCOUNT WITH NETZERO SINCE JANUARY OF 2009 WE HAVE NOT LIVED AT THE ADDRESS THEY SHOW SERVICE SINCE JANUARY OF 2009 AND NETZERO IS STILL CHARGING MY CREDIT CARD EVERY MONTH. I CALL EVERY MONTH AND SPOKE WITH TWO PEOPLE AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY SHOW WHERE WE HAVE CALLED AN CANCELLED BUT IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN CANCELD AND THEY ARE STILL CHARGING ME. THIS IS TOTAL FRAUD AND I AM FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY. THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH...

Terrible Service
It is now June and I signed up for my service with NetZero getting the NetZero 3G nigh speed Dial-up because I am in college online and can't get DSL where I live. For the first couple months it was fine. But now I get dropped from the internet about 6 to 12 times a day. I called about it and was told I would have to pay 1.95 a minutes to talk to someone to get it straight. Why would you have to pay someone to fix something you are already paying for. Thank does not make any sence. The women I spoke with in customer service was rude and did not help me at all. She could not, or acted like she did not understand what I was saying and just kept repeating for me to call tech support.I told her I don't have a credit card and even if I did I was not paying to talk to someone about a problem I was having with service I was already paying for each month. I finally told her they could expect a call from me next week when I get my disk for earthlink to cancel my sevice. After reading the other complaints on here I will also call at&t and tell them to block them from charging me any further that I canceled my service with them. i am very mad about this service they claim to be the best dial-up provider but that it a bold face lie and I would not recomend them to anyone ever!!!

fraudulant account
Back in 2005, I tried NetZero for the 30 day free trial, and cancelled in less than than 2 weeks of poor service. Now, my wife brought me our statement for our banking account debit card, asking about a $14.95 charge from Netzero. I called the toll-free # on the charge, and was told the account had never been cancelled, the charge to the debit acct. had been since the trial period, and not cancelled, or they would have a recording of my call! 4 YEARS AGO??????? This was all from a supervisor in the cancellation department, who stated that Netzero doesn't monitor usage, your just paying for availability. This is a rip-off! My wife pays our bills, I admit I hardly ever look at the statements, but this makes me want to burn ALL our credit cards. What could I do about these charges? Who might I contact to file complaints?

Unauthorized charge on checking account
UOL*NETZERO 866-841-1442 endless charges on my bank account. I just filed a frauds claim with my bank and also just paid off a credit card statement for overdraft charges due to these charges adding up to over $600.00. What can I do to have these companies refund my money and pay the overdraft fees?

Unauthorized charges
Juno online and netzero are the same company. They obtained my credit card number somehow (not from me) and began charging for BOTH juno online and netzero services simultaneously. When I called juno online they asked for my phone number, which of course, was not associated with any account because I DID NOT OPEN AN ACCOUNT.

Since my phone number was not in their system, they asked for my credit card number and name and address, which I provided. Then they found me in their system. They claimed that someone in my home had called with the credit card and set up the Internet services, providing the CVS number on the back of the card. (Must have been my 9 year old, or my 6 year old.

Oh, maybe my husband got confused and decided that we needed another Internet service in addition to the one we already have, and went through an enrollment process to get this great new dial up service instead of our DSL.) Next, I called 'netzero' about charges on the same card, only to discover that it was the same company as juno online. The rep kept asking what I wanted to do with the 'membership' -- I stated that there was no membership to discuss since I did not open an account and I was merely calling about the fraudulent charges they were making on my card.

They finally agreed to credit my account when I kept emphasizing that they did not have my home phone number because: 1) I did not set up and account and, 2) they are not providing me with services. I will be calling my credit card company checking for a credit.

Juno online and Netzero are LYING. They are charging credit card numbers without authorization, and without CVS numbers. They need to be investigated for fraudulent activities.

FRAUD AGAINST CUSTOMERS
I JUST SIGNED UP FOR THEIR SERVICE YESTERDAY. I PHONED THEM WITH A QUESTION ABOUT MY $14.95 PER MONTH SERVICE. THE MAN, WHO WAS FROM INDIA ADDED A BUNCH OF SERVICES ON MY ACCOUNT WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. I HAVE BEEN ALL DAY TRYING TO CANCEL THEM. ALL I GET IS THE RUNAROUND. EVEN MY EMAILS ARE COMING BACK UNDELIVERABLE AND I AM USING THEIR LINKS. I WILL CANCEL MY SERVICE BUT UNFORTUNATELY I USED A DEBIT CARD AND I WILL NOW HAVE TO CANCEL THIS CARD. THIS COMPANY IS COMMITING FRAUD ON A HUGE SCALE.

Bad service
During the summer of 2008 I subscribed to Netzero DSL internet service. The service functioned perfectly until August of 2008, when my connection was disconnected. After many phonecalls, Netzero informed me that my signal was somehow cut off for unknown reasons, and in order to have it restored, I'd have to pay a $100.00 cancellation fee and have the service terminated, then reconnected. I canceled my service in September 2008 after arguing over the ordeal for over a month and many phonecalls and "escalated service tickets." This month(December) I received a bill for nearly $54.00. I called Netzero and they claim that I never canceled the service, despite having on record that I called in September and canceled(Uhhhh what? This makes no sense, right?). So the company states that they will now officially cancel my service and that I'm responsible for paying the outstanding amount. The company also never credited me the amount I paid in August and September for services that were no longer functioning.

Additionally, the customer service reps are incredibly rude and speak very broken English. I normally wouldn't mind the language barrier, however when the reps don't understand your question or concern, they keep re-reading the scripted information. When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told, "He's just going to say the same thing." It took my raising my voice and demanding a manager before I finally got one.
