earthlink complete ripoff and nightmare Atlanta Nationwide

Earthlink ripoff: I inquired into getting Earthlink internet service where I was moving to and was advised coverage was available. They took my credit card information and charged me a total of $40 but a technician called me and told me that internet was not available where I live due to the rural location. I called Earthlink to advise them this but they did not believe me. I offered to give them the contact number for the technician but they transferred me to tech support. They insisted internet was available and put in the service request again.

I was again called by another local technician who told me that internet was not available where I live. Earthlink continues to insist that I have internet service and I had to cancel my credit card to get the charges to stop because they refused to cancel my account. I disputed the charges that had already gone through with my credit card company but was unsuccessful because Earthlink told them I had internet service and never cancelled.

Today I received a bill from Earthlink for $110. I called them and they would not talk to me for several minutes because the person kept asking me for my email password which I had no clue what he was talking about. He finally told me that there was an early termination fee and he said something about the bill being due to me disputing the charges with my credit card company. (even though my dispute was not successful). He said there was nothing that could be done. I was charged for internet that I was never provided, had to cancel my credit card, and now have a past due bill which they said will be sent to collections. I don't know how to resolve this.
