Cancelling an account with just the Invoice BAN

All I want to do is cancel an account that has an Invoice BAN number and 1 phone number on the account. This only bills long distance. Originally, there were about 9 numbers on this account that we ported over somewhere else. For some reason, this number was left behind and kept accruing costs. I've been on the phone just this morning for 3 hours trying to resolve this. No one I've spoken to is able to find this account using the BAN or the phone number and I've been transferred approx. 11 times to other ATT reps who also have no idea what to do with the BAN number.

All I want to do is cancel the account and open a billing dispute for the charges we've accrued. We had never re-signed a contract with ATT and can't figure out why we're still getting MRC charges here.

I have the same problem as well.

The phone number on the bill (800-891-1800) has an automated attendant that requires an account number.. the one number that is NOT on the invoice.

If you answer "I don't know" it sends you to residential support. Residential support of course has no idea what a BAN is...

 

They gave me to business support, which required hanging up and dialing back in.

 

They couldn't help but directed me to call the "Legacy Department."

 

Legacy Department tells me I have an account manager, but that person wont respond to calls or emails.

They may or may not exist

I have a toll free number with an Invoice BAN number and 1 phone number on the account. This only bills long distance. Originally, there were about 3 numbers on this account that were ported over to other plan with ATT. For some reason, this number was left behind and kept accruing costs. I've been on the phone several times resolve this. No one I've spoken to is able to find this account using the BAN or the phone number and I've been transferred to other ATT reps who also have no idea what to do with the BAN number. I visited the store also for the help but all they can do is take payment and are not authorized to see full details of my plan.

I want to see why I am being charge so much for the Toll free num while it is being used for few call only.

Can someone help me from your department?
