The Consumerist reports that a customer who requested Comcast cable to stop sending direct mailers found a $1.99 “change of service” fee on his bill.
I had in fact called Comcast a few weeks earlier and asked them to stop sending me anything except a monthly bill. They were happy to do so, but had not told me that they would try and stick me for $2.
Fortunately, he was able to get this charge removed via an online chat with customer service. But how many people would never notice the extra fee? Link - via J-Walk Blog
