...goes to...Aliant!...or rather Aliant! and its PEI office at P.O. Box 640 Charlottetown PE C1A 7L3.
These were my local telephone service providers and I finished up with them in June when I left Prince Edward Island. Today I get a bill showing the following math:
2.28 Previous CreditThis is funny. I haven't been a customer for three months yet I still get a bill. I check out the notation for the charge:
2.28 Current Charges
-----
0.00 Balance
Clear Credit Final BalanceSo to take my money on 25 August - two months after I terminated our agreement - they charge me exactly the amount of my money they had. Cost to print a cheque and mailing the 2.28 to me? Same as mailing the invoice. But then my money would have been in my hands and not theirs had they done that. Now I am sure there is a clause in the General Terms and Conditions that allows for this but...thanks just the same. World class.
Wee Kejp - where's Ronnie number? I feel 2.28 worth of crank call coming on.

Head office might deserve the kick but I owe one of their workers bigtime! Monday noon - no power, notebook battery dead, digital camera memory full... off we went to vote (by oil lamp light) where I met up with one of their workers who let me plug into his truck long enough to download my pictures. Priceless! Juan pics here and at Yahoo
