070802 -
070803 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Earthlink dated 030205 that is an invoice
070804 - number 107552319 which says it is dated 030202, although there is
070805 - nothing that reconciles the date of 030202 with the date of the
070806 - invoice 030205.
070808 -  ..
070809 - This invoice has a charge of $24.95 which is the normal rate we have

070811 - reported last month on 030107. ref SDS 5 CG6L

070819 -
070820 - The invoice appears to show a credit of 22.47, ref DRT 1 PPTU, for the
070821 - incorrect charge in the invoice received on 030107. ref SDS 5 4C7L  The
070822 - credit aligns with the notice to Earthlink on 030108 that the amount
070823 - of $22.47 was disputed in that it is for extra usage hours that were
070824 - later described on 030108 as dial up service, ref SDS 6 L85G, which we
070825 - have not contracted to use, as shown in the record on 010502,
070826 - ref SDS 1 8F6F, and so is not approved for payment, as shown in the
070827 - record on 030107. ref SDS 5 4C8H  On 030108 Earthink was notified that
070828 - the charges are disputed, ref SDS 6 L85F, by our letter dated the same
070829 - date, 030108. ref DIP 1 0001
070831 -  ..
070832 - Accordingly, Earthlink's invoice today appears to resolve this
070833 - dispute.

070843 - with the description "Total Hours" of 267, and another line has a

070847 -  ..
070848 - This charge repeats the error on the invoice last month, per above,

070851 -  ..
070852 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Earthlink disputing this charge on the
070853 - same grounds submitted on the prior dispute, per above, ref SDS 0
070854 - WF8K, i.e., that we did not incur the extra usage for dial up services
070855 - and our agreement with Earthlink excludes dial up service, as shown on
070856 - 010502. ref SDS 1 8F6F  Request timely notice of credit so that
070857 - appropriate action can be taken notifying the credit card company on
070858 - this matter.

070861 -       and phone numbers where extra usage was incurred, and it

070863 -       Welch. ref SDS 7 IG53
