From the same Former AOL cancellations Rep[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#22)

Actually, while it may not be posted online anywhere (unless you can magically find access to eSource, which is the online AOL employee reference site and requires not only internal access priveleges but also a secureID) I do still have the paperwork I receid while in training which states all of the polices and procedures we were meant to follow. And cancelling the account once someone says "cancel" and the call is disconnected while the account is verified, is mandatory.

is that while the rules say one thing the financial incentives say another. The result in an unwritten rule that you don't follow the written rules.

Sorry, I should have said "publically and officially". I know it'd be in the AOL rulebooks and probably scattered around various forum posts online if one looked hard enough. (Like here.) But it wouldn't, say, be in the terms of service.

It doesn't make it a more difficult decision, it just makes the inevitable more stressful, and perhaps even begrudges me to never consider AOL again later on knowing that if I decide to cancel again I'd get such a hideous run-around and "but are you sure? order viagra , cheap viagra I could give you an extension on your free trial days" blah blah whine blah.
