Can't get Billing issues resolved after 3+ years

I signed up for DSL service in approximately September of 2010.  From September through December my service was intermittent at best and it took the first 2 months to even get it up and working at all.  I called over and over and each time the tech would have me go through the same sequence of events, although I told them that I had been through those instructions time and time again.  I spent more time on the phone with tech service trying to resolve the problems than I ever did on the internet.  I called to cancel in November after not being able to get consistent service and subsequently still received another bill.  I then called in December and was told that it had not been cancelled.  At that time I went over all of the issues, was told that there were enough notes in the system to substantiate my never having a an acceptable service level and that my account would be cancelled and the billings that I had received to date would be credited.  I continued to receive a few more bills for the same amount so it looked like the service had been cancelled, but I figured it was just taking a few months for the credit to go through. Then, I stopped receiving the billings and foolishly assumed that everything had been resolved.  UNTIL NOW!  I went into an AT&T retail location to add a line to my wireless service and was told I had an outsanding bill for home phone service from February 2011.  I was shocked and at first though something fraudulent had happened because I never had home phone service.  Eventually we were able to identify that this bill was actually from the DSL service that I had cancelled and was told would be taken care of and that I could not add a line to my cell service until I paid the bill.

 

So, I call customer service and get bounced around and even though I explained the issue over and over, I was just told that I had to pay it.  I asked to speak with a manager and was put on hold until I finally had to go to a meeting and had to hang up.  I am going to start with this forum hope that I get some immediate assistance in clearing this up.  I have been an AT&T, Cingular, Bellsouth customer for over 20 years.  I pay over $110 per month for my cell account and over $120 per month for DirectTV.  I was told and accepted in good faith that my DSL billing issue would be resolved and credited and at this point, if it is not, I will cancel my existing services.  I would hardly thing it worthwhile for AT&T to lose over $230 per month (not including the line I wanted to add) for a bill in the amount of $192 that was supposed to be credited over 3 years ago.

 

Also, if I don't get some immediate assistance via this forum, I will start sending my issue to executive level AT&T members.  This is no way to treat a customer that has over 20 years with the company and has paid thousands of dollars over the years.
