Today, I received an almost $400 bill for Internet services I don't even have. When I called and talk to them they told me I still owe them $77 because I didn't catch it within 3 months. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a call from my cable company in regards to a bill I didn't pay. I paid the bill two weeks ago in full, but they never told me the account changed when my name was put on the account. So now I owe $170 more, and my ex-roommate is getting a $140 refund in the mail. FML
Today, my bank overdrafted my account to pay a bill that isn't due until next month. When I called them, they said they would fix the mistake, but I have to restore the account to zero before they'll give me my money back. So, I have to pay for my own money with the money they won't give me. FML
Today, my cell phone service was interrupted because I owed the company 27 cents. It cost 36 dollars to reinstate my service. FML
Today, I finally got my paycheck that I could enjoy $300 for myself after taking care of my bills with so many other ones. Then, I find out that the water was shut off, which is supposed to be my roommate's responsibility. Apparently, he has not paid it in months, and they want $288. FML
Today, I got my cell phone bill. I pay for 700 minutes per month. I used 9 last month. FML
Today, I realized while paying bills on my phone I fat-fingered which credit card I was paying and sent 299 to a paid-off card instead of 200 to another one. Now I'm going to have overdraft fees too. FML
Today, my power company notified me that one of the payments my husband and I sent last week for our overdue bill had bounced. FML
Today, I found out that I owe the government money and that the amount will increase if I miss the deadline two months ago. FML
Today, I received an overdue bill for my now nonexistent car that caught fire in July. FML
Today, my parents were surprised when I told them that changing the internet and cable service would also cut themselves off from the internet service's email. Which they have everything connected too. I thought about this when they told me they were saving $200 on switching. They apparently did not. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Talk to the head of the billing department. No flunkey is allowed to remove a bill entirely.

Maybe talk to a lawyer?

They may NOT bill you for a service you do not have. Speak to a manager or supervisor only.

Seriously though, after oh so many people reply "oh its comcast!", you probably should lay off making yet another thread stating the same thing.

Contact the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO).

Here's what you do. Call back and explain your situation, and when the first person can't help you, say, "I understand you can't help me, but I know there must be someone there who can. I'd like to speak to your supervisor please." If they say, "I am the supervisor," say, "Oh really? You run the entire company." When they say no, ask to speak to their boss again. Everyone has a boss. Keep going up the chain of command until you get someone who has the authority to clear those charges for you. You can be firm and pushy if required, just don't be mean or rude or get personal with anyone, or else you'll give them grounds to refuse to help you. Good luck!

Not a chance. You don't have the services. You never agreed to have them.

You can sue them for mental harassment, and they will owe you instead.
