Dear Thatsany,

Thanks for your letter today acknowledging our letter on February 8 disputing charges of $267.57 in Earthlink's invoice #107552319, dated February 2, 2003, for extra hours using dial up service. Our letter on February 8 points out that we did not incur extra hours for dial up services and that dial up services are excluded from our agreement with Earthlink.
..
Your letter says in part that....

We encourage customers to contact us via email but in some cases it is necessary to call us. The number is (888) 932-1997 and their hours are Mon-Fri 5:30am to 9pm Sat & Sun 6am to 6pm PST. ..
Earthlink's invoice says to submit notice of disputed charges within 30 days to invoice.inquiry@earthlink.net. Our letter on February 8 meets this requirement, and is sufficient for Earthlink to take appropriate action by crediting improper charges, as Earthlink did on the invoice last month.
..
Thanks again for your assistance.
..
Sincerely,



Rod Welch
