I cancelled services with CenturyLink and moved in October 2011. I left my phone number with them while I ported it to Comcast, which completed 12/2/2011.

I called to cancel all services at that point, and was told that it was completed. CenturyLink apparently gave me a new number and continued billing me for the number and DSL services to an empty condo with no router in it, while I had moved and was receiving services at Comcast. They then billed me until they canceled services for non-payment. I've been calling every month to get them to fix their error - filed a dispute and they basically came back saying that the charges were legit.

I have recorded all phone conversations with them, and will be taking them to the local news. I'm contacting lawyers to see what avenue for suing CenturyLink are available to me. I would rather pay lawyers tens of thousands of dollars to sue CenturyLink, rather than paying them the $222.66 that they are trying to bill me for services that were never rendered. I've asked them to check the data and see if a SINGLE byte moved across that DSL link they were providing to an empty condo with no router, but they state they can't check that.

That's a lie. I've never been so angry with a Telecom company in my life. I'm a systems and network engineer and will dedicate the rest of my life to moving our customers to CenturyLink competitors. I'll be starting a web campaign against them for wrongful billing practices.

I'm reaching out to lawyers currently, to provide them the recorded phone conversation evidence I made when I terminated services. I'm hoping that News stations in Denver have a field day with this. I'll be taking this to the court of public opinion, as well as any other court where I can stand up to the evil telecom provider for the little guy. I will NOT accept an apology from the *** at CenturyLink.

I gave them an opportunity to take care of this... I even called again and gave them one more chance to do right by me and fix this obvious and ridiculous error. So, when this finally comes out on TV and they send *** to try to quiet me, it will be too late. I will have the same level of concern for their needs as they've had for mine.

No settlement will be large enough to keep this out of court or off TV. The $222.66 will seem like a drop in the bucket compared to the loss of business at CenturyLink that I will personally be responsible for. Nice work, geniuses.

You had a chance and didn't take it. Now it's my turn!

Monetary Loss: $222.

Location: Lakewood, Colorado

The biggest crook ever. Jacked up my bill every month. Said they fixed it but never.

We can't get them to provide simple voice phone service, got stage 4 cancer and can't talk to doctor or call 911, ***.

Guest

This just happened to me too. Please let us know if you were able to pursue legal action.

It seems that this is a rather widespread issue. Perhaps if enough people come forward about this issue, a class action lawsuit can be filed.

Guest

I had the exact thing happen to me!!! IF you are able to find that you can take legal action post back. I am still dealing with their nonsense.

I live in Phoenix Arizona and I've been a customer of century link for four years . At the end of every contract period they always charge a maximum rate which infuriates me.

A month ago I called to setup a new contract. I'm chose to delete the phone service and just have internet service. I was told my new monthly bill would be $37 a month plus change . I was also told I would get a overlap credit and my next Bill would be $9.99 .

I get the bill and its $89.99 including a phone service charge. I'm irate and frustrated And fear calling them to resolve the issue only for it to get worse.

They should be sued out of business but they have so much money stolen from customers to pay their way out of any entanglement. The corporate bully applies here complete.

I fully agree with everything you have to say. I have century link right now and quite frankly I have no idea how they are still in business.

I will also be sueing the *** out of century link. Hey century link I hope that you are reading this because you are going to be out of business very soon!!! If you think that I am kidding then how about you put this into perspective you *** idiots. Im one of the richest people in the world I could buy your company if I wanted to.

I have the money and the power and the lawyers to bring you *** down and im going to do exactly that you *** thieves.

Anybody that wants to join my alliance then please feel free to do so by contacting me at butchc1@***.com. *** off century link I hope you all get *** over so hard.
