Absolutely Ridiculous and Totally Irritating
I have been trying to cancel my AOL Assist for months! Impossible to find it under Help because the AOL help link goes to a page that does not exist. (YES, I have all the program updates/grades). I finally get my Bank to give me the number of whose charging me and after several disconnects, find someone to help. However, the only way I can get refunded for the charge AOL did TODAY, is to get a free 30 day trial of AOL Assist. I have not used this service for YEARS and I am finally canceling it, WHY would…

Poor VIP CSR Support
Called VIP support regarding OPEN Escalated case and CSR not very friendly. Requested to be taken off speaker phone or boom mike as I could hear co-workers in background LOUDER than her and told she couldn't do that. After a few minutes, I requested to speak to a supervisor and was IMMEDIATELY (as in not checking) told none was available. I will wait until I cool down before calling back.

Why does AOL continue to ***** around with my sign on using either of my addresses. Now I can sign on to *******@aol.com. I am told that the account I've had for more than 10 years doesn't exist.k & why am I taking this approach to say that -- because the HELP page doesn't respond. That there is the problem that on several sites i must use, I can't because AOL can't hand them or do things needs to use that site. I've about had it --- How;s tat for and idea.

I have the insurance policy which states "contact the repair company, they'll open a claim, and send you a label and package to send to them for repairs". Nothing states we have to pay $25.00 ahead of time for repairs it's covered.

Master Screen Name Control
What happened to the control for secondary screen names by the Master Screen name? Taking this control away from the account holder who pays for this service is a serious breach of parental oversight and has implications beyond that. This is another ridiculous change that gives every appearance of irresponsible and thoughtless conduct by AOL.
In the past, AOL offered the ability to create secondary usernames linked to this Master username, however, as of November 30, 2017, the ability to add or manage additional usernames has been removed.

I keep getting e-mails fro OATH saying that unless I agree to the terms of service my AOL account will be shut down on August 6. See below.

PASSWORD
I HAVE BEEN WITH U IDIOTS SINCE LATE 1986 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER HAD TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD 2 DAYS IN A ROW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP UR ******* HARASSMENT U WORTHLESS PUNKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'AM ON THE BULCK MAILING LIST
In order to better enforce anti-spam policies, AOL does not disclose the number of recipients or emails that can be sent at one time.
If you’ve received a notification that a limit has been met, you’ll need to wait a set amount of time before you can send more emails. Most sending limit notifications inform you of how long you’ll have to wait.
If you’re planning to regularly send bulk email, consider looking into an alternate solution.If you still encounter issues with your password, please reach out to our customer service department at 1-800-827-6364

I pay for AOL Gold. I thought if I had a problem it would be free to get help. Wrong. I was just charged $150.
Stop charging extra fees to fix a problem you created.
The person you called might have been someone posing as an AOL consultant and claiming to help with problems relating to passwords, line noise, hackers or other technical issues. If you suspect someone is posing as an AOL consultant, do not give them any of your personal information (name, address, password, social security number, bank information, etc.).
For help with technical issues related to your AOL account and benefits, you can call us at 1-800-827-6364. You can also contact our mail team at aolmailquestions@aol.com and one of our technicians can assist you with any technical issues.

Courious about my account
I am wondering more why I was made to take AOL Desktop Gold, I didn't ask for it, I am the only one that is paying for it. I want it free like all my friends still have it, I really can't afford this extra money with a small retirement fee each month. why was I made to take it? how can I go back to how it was???
We developed this new and enhanced AOL Desktop Gold software to replace the older AOL Desktop versions in market today. However, you will always be able to access your email through an external browser like Internet Explorer at: mail.aol.com

hacking my account
On 5/14 and 5/15 I got a notice that someone was impersonating me on my account. I see now that someone did get into my account and pretend like I wrote a letter to him, from my account so it looks like I sent it. He kept it in my drafts, then sent it to himself today.
We have a help article on identifying suspicious activity: https://help.aol.com/articles/account-management-identifying-suspicious-activity

Apparently AOL is down and there is no workable service number to handle any problem. Very poor customer service. Going bankrupt?
Have a help line that actually works. Have service numbers that are not on busy signal. Have a real customer service department.
This issue has been fixed. If you encounter any other issues please call us at 1-888-265-3733.
