To sheena,
It seems that your name still appears on the bill even after your ex-boyfriend is supposed to have put it in his name. They applied your 99 dollar on ex-boyfriend's past due account because the account is still considered to be jointly held by you and him. It is unlikely that you will get a refund of the money you've already paid them. But you should first check out if both you and your ex's names appear on the account before making any further payments.

I guess it never hurts to ask the question.
