:AOL goes much further than having a reinstate account button. They truthfully keep an account open well after you have it cancelled. They continue to bill you for the account you no longer access and requested cancelled. They tend to "forget" those phone calls where you said you wanted out. Then (at least in the early days) they call you incessantly getting you sign back up again. I know this from personal experience.
But didn't you get a cancel confirmation number? Did you read the notice sent by US Mail stating that your account was canceled or remained open or did it go straight to the trash? mabee you got no letter because you never updated your contact info. No confirmation number means no cancelation and member was told the account is still active.
Thats lame, if someone calls and cancells it means they dont want the service. Your sound as bad, as those people against do not call.
