The fact of the matter is XXXX XXXX XXXX continue to charge me for service with them when I switch cell phone providers to another company where XXXX XXXX XXXX was called and told to close the account and nothing was done I have witnesses because I refuse to ever call any company that thinks that kind of XXXX lie so I always have a XXXX witnesses.
