| "Cost Recovery Fee" Bellsouth has been doing this for a number of months now. I don't recall when they started, but it was some time last year. It really pissed me off to the point I was willing to switch to cable, but that's another story.
Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee @ $2.97 per month
I have yet to get an explanation to exactly what this is. All they tell me is that it is NOT a tax.

My previous employer was the same way.. if it wasnt listed as a tax, he'd pitch a fit. Eventually he got to the point where he'd only pay the base charges, and the taxes. Before I moved on to another job, he had close to $650 in "back fees". After a bit of yelling to someone high up the foodchain with this particular company, the $650 was agreed to be unfair, and was removed from his bill. From the last couple times I've visited the old shop, I've seen that he's done it on several occasions..
Then again, it all depends on how greedy Verizon/BellSouth or any of these other carriers are. Would they cut you off for having a past due balance of $2.97?

Do you think they'd tolerate you deducting a "Regulatory Appeal Fee" from your bill payments?
