CONSUMER COMPLAINTS

Despite numerous requests and efforts to cancel the account and prevent further charges, AmeriVision Communications has continued to send monthly charges to the complainants. The complainants request that AmeriVision Communications stop sending unauthorized charges; they request to be reimbursed for the charges and for money spent on postage and for AmeriVision Communications to pay $1000.00 in reparation to them for their frustration.

The Complainant alleges that when his local telecommunications service was switched from U S WEST to FirsTel, FirsTel did not continue his long distance service with AT&T. AT&T continued to transfer billing information to U S WEST. Since U S West was no longer the local carrier, billings were not sent to the Complainant. The Complainant eventually received a long distance billing from AT&T at very high rates. The Complainant seeks $1000 in compensation, additional compensation for time and effort, and removal of all long distance charges.
