My old AOL account just billed me $19.95 from 2007

Found it digging through an old inbox I kept on a zip drive. Turns out I never canceled that dial-up plan when I moved to college. The bank statement snapshot is right there in the email, charged every month for two years. That's $478 down the drain because 18 year old me thought deleting the shortcut meant the bill stopped. Anyone else have a subscription they forgot about for way too long?

Did you try calling the billing line to see if they'll refund any of it? I had something similar with an old gym membership and they actually gave me half back once I showed them the statements. Took some patience on hold, but worth it if you have the receipt handy.

Read a thing once about some people still paying for AOL into like 2015 without realizing it, so you're in good company. At least you finally found the receipt, that's more than most folks ever do.
