Our phone company (Qwest) ripped us good because we had them automatically charge our monthly bill to our credit card. We dropped their lousy DSL service after 1 year of a 2 year contract. They said because of all the problems we had with it and the fact that the high speed DSL wasn't available in our neighborhood (because of phone lines that have needed replacing for over 10 years) they would let us out of the contract and not charge us the $200 early-out fee. They even gave us a special confirmation number to verify it. Like fools, we actually believed them. Sure enough they charged the $200 to our credit card.
