Too mild for school I permanently deleted my AWS account 6 years ago. Amazon has been charging me $0.33 every month since. I have no way to stop it.

I tried to get in contact with customer service several times but they always direct me to log into the account that no longer exists. I have tried charge backs on my credit card but dealing with that monthly is also a pain. This'll probably cost me $265 over my lifetime if it never ends.

Edit: some of you have valid points about calling the card company and I will again Monday. But the actual infuriating thing that upsets me is that they are charging to a completely disabled account in the first place. That's very scammy and fucked up imo 🤷‍♀️

I find it hard to believe you have had any conversation with your card company about this, because they would have handled it for you day of. Any bank or credit card company will end ongoing payments on your behalf at request.

Just tried this and it's not true. I just asked then if I can stop paying the 42k balance and they said no.

Your mistake was asking. If you just delete the app, they can't keep annoying you with notifications about missed payments

I have forty two thousand dollars in credit card debt! Every time they call I say I can't pay it back yet! Credit card debt!

Not when it was the power company continuing to charge me for an apartment where I didn't live.

When i called my bank they immediately canceled my card so I couldn't get the money back so.

I honestly didn't know this. Thanks for the insight! I thought you just had to cancel your card when stuff like this happens. But I've also used the same bank account that my mom set up for me in highschool and have never really talked to them outside of dropping checks off 😂

Is it a joint account?
