AT&T Complaints Continued... (Page 5)

We have had to have countless tech personnel come to our home to fix the same problem over and over again.We have missed work,rearranged schedules to accommodate tech support. This last outage was a real inconvenience for I am a teacher and I had grades to input but I couldn't because I had no service and grades were due first thing this morning which caused me to have to get to work early ..When we tell ATT that the problem isnt inside the home they refuse to send techs because they state the problem is inside and each time we are correct the problem is outside.We have had equipment replaced to fix the problem and yet we still have the same problem. We pay Att 6,000 dollars a year for service that is not provided, maybe Infinite would like my money for their service. You have my permission to contact Jerome Lawnrence at 313 977-0003 to discuss a solution to the reoccurring problem and incontinence.

People that work at ATT IN RUSSELLVILLE, ALABAMA. I have a store in the same plaza with them. They are rude and disrespectful. Issue is with them parking in back of store which is where my truck delivers. They refuse to move when my truck comes. I need to talk to a regional manager.

On 4/13/19 I called ATT Direct TV to have my service transfer to my new address on 4/27/19 but was immediately canceled, I was very clear on what I wanted and was on the phone for 6 1/2 hours the next 2 days trying to resolve this issue. I was transferred numerous times and everyone seems like totall idiots and I’m still without service. I’m livid! Although I’ve been a loyal customer I’m seriously thinking of switching to a different company.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have been a loyal AT&T customer for several years. I recently purchased the iPhone7 and added an additional line. I asked to switch my unlimited plan to a shared 9GB due to myself and my mother not using much data. I inquired about a 25% discount through my employer as well as autopay discount of $20 per month, and possible waiving of my activation fee. The individual that I spoke to, Steve, via online chat on AT&T’s website told me everything I wanted to hear.
1. Activation fee WAIVED
2. 25% discount through my employer
3. Auto-pay discount
4. Iphone7 $15 per month for three months followed by $5 per month until phone was paid off
5. My plan was switched to a shared 9GB as requested.
6. Monthly bill of $118 for three months and then it will be reduced to $108 per month
He promised all of the above and confirmed it THREE TIMES (I took screen shots of the conversations for proof in case something like this were to happen).

First issue: I requested a 203 area code and when I received the phone in the mail it was a 475 area code so I had to contact AT&T to change that number which they did without issue. HOWEVER, I was being charged for THREE different numbers when I only have two.
Two weeks later I received my first bill from AT&T with all of the supposed discounts/packages listed about (1-6). To my surprise, my bill was $225.00! I called and wasted another hour or so arguing back in forth with this time, Daniela, who is also an AT&T representative. She apologized for Steve’s wrong doings and issued me a credit of $82.38 to make up for all of the overages. I received (and still have) a confirmation letter “AT&T Post Call Notification Summary of Changes to Your Account” from Daniela confirming that there was a pending credit of $82.38 in my account. A few days passed and after checking my balance daily, I realized this credit was NOT pending and my balance has not changed. AGAIN, I had to contact AT&T for a third time, wasting more of my time and energy on something that should not even have to be fixed in the first place. This time I talked to Charles who had no idea I had any credit on my account and apologized for Daniela telling me that I did because I did not in fact, have any credit pending. Charles more or less told me that I was responsible for the full amount owed, my bill will not be $118 as promised, the activation fee is not being waived, and that I was being charged for two plans instead of one. I was being charged for my original unlimited plan and the shared 9GB the original representative told me I was switching to. They treated my line as being three phones and two separate plans. I honestly have no idea what they did but it was a giant mess. This last representative ended up apologizing for both Steve and Daniela and issuing a credit of about $60.00 which does not come close to what I was promised from the beginning.
A credit of $60.00 does not makeup for all of the time I spent arguing back and forth trying to fix AT&T’s mistakes. I have never been lied to so much from a company that I have been so loyal to. I would like to be compensated for my time, stress, and OVER CHARGED BILL!

Worst mistake ever coming to this company!!!! Service has never been right from the start, Bill never what they promised. Over charged for services every single month causing hours of hold times every month to get it straightened out. Then my account was hacked!!! Someone was actually able to lock me out of my account. Order 2 new phones and stick me with a $2500 bill. Their Fraud department is supposed to be handling the issue but my service continues to be turn off every month. I hate AT&T!!!!! I have to explain the situation every single time I call and get transferred six different times. this is no less than 3 hours every time.

Misleading promises about reward card, Never received it, THEY claims it wasn't valid. My agreement for service installatio shows a $200.00 reward. When Direct tv came out to install our service, THEY had to reschedule due to the rain!! We did not cancel! They finally did install service a few weeks later. I recently called ATT customer service because I hadn't received the gift card. I was told the reward was not valid because a new service agreement was set up for the installation and the reward was not included? THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

I have been a AT&T customer since 1997 with the one rate program. I am writing about the Horrible commercial you currently have running about the Carnival. I have been in the Carnival Business all my 60 years. My family goes back to ’46. It is a difficult business dealing with the DOT, Insurance. The biggest being help and this Psychopath president does not help.

The commercial is a slap in the face of my family and me. Note, I am into food not a actual carnival it self. There is a movement with the OABA to stop all dealings with AT&T . I am in a contract so I cannot right now but hope I don’t have to.

Please stop the sickening commercial.

I have not received my lge v40 slim armor case black I was told it was 2 weeks ago and I have not yet gotten it

This a complaint about services received by AT&A customer service representative named Zachary J Bastian zb406@att.com, 614-208-1140. He came into my home 11/27/18 approx. 9: am as we were moving in. He convinced me to sign up for a "Switcher" promotion with many promises including paying off Verizon, lower monthly payments for the same services, better services and even a discount on our Uverse account. I traded in 7 phones and switched 8 lines from Verizon to AT&T. This experience has been a nightmare for me and my family. He convinced me to sign up for a “Switcher” promotion with many promises including paying off Verizon, lower monthly payments for more phones and for the same services, better services and even a discount on our Uverse account. We have been conned into becoming ATT&T customers by offering a promotion, guaranteed payoff of our previous carrier and matched services, and not following through and honoring the promises. We have contacted several AT&T employees and reached out to Zach with no resolve. We turned in 7 phones and AT&T has no record of 4 of them which Zach collected from my children. I have received several notices stating invalid AT&T Reward Submission invalid, which Zach convinced us that he would handle everything right in my kitchen. I still have an outstanding bill with Verizon $2,727.95 which he promised would be taken care of. This will definitely negatively affect my credit and also my relationship with Verizon whom I have been a loyal customer to for over 25 years. I called AT&T, to find out how to deal with this problem. After I had been on hold for several minutes, with different Representatives on numerous occasions. I had to explain my problem to them several times because they did not seem to be listening and therefore asked me the same questions repeatedly. They put me on hold for several minutes, and then returned to say they could not help me. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated. I expected a much higher level of service from your company, and I am quite disappointed. Because I do not want to spend any more time on this problem, My fiancé Lorenzo Jackson and I have been on the phone for several hours with AT&T reps who we spoke to were rude, did not help and gave me the run around and refused to give me the appropriate department to resolve this issue, and even tried to blame this on me. I found out that the phones were uninsured when I received an offer in the mail, which Zach promised we would get everything we had with Verizon. We have had other problems with the service from ATT as well. This is outrageous that this is happening to us with such a reputable company as AT&T, that you employee people that would misrepresent you and you have a promotion that does not honor what you promised. I turned in 8 phones, switched from a reliable company like Verizon based on your promises. I would appreciate this being resolved at this level without involving a third party. I am asking for at least $2,000 to reimburse Verizon as we were promised and that Zach Bastian is reprimanded for misrepresenting your company, lying, fraud and theft of our phones and ultimately termination. I have numerous correspondence with Zach and myself via text to support this complaint. Please contact me to assist in resolving this matter. I will be informing my friends and family regarding this experience, and perhaps the local news station, BBB, and the Attorney General's office.

While assisting my 92 year old father with dementia with his bills etc. yesterday I discovered a cell phone sent to him from AT&T and a recent bill for $95.31 for his first month wireless bill. He advised me he called originally to see about getting a metered number of calls to his house telephone, but instead the lady talked him into a cell phone and wireless service. He was trying to get a lower bill because of financial difficulties and very few received or made phone calls. He felt his $41.00 a month bill is to much for how much he uses it.
The problem now is he was talked into the cell phone and service without knowing exactly what was going on because of his condition. He has never used a phone and does not understand all that happened and now I believe I have him convinced not to talk to other people besides family members!!!! This was not his first time getting confused on the phone., but he definitely has no use for the cell phone and I would appreciate your help on this so I can send the cell phone back and get his money reimbursed for the phone. The bill for $95.31 is due tomorrow but I had no idea he had the phone or the service bill until yesterday. The account number is 243030743129

IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR I CANCELLED MY SERVICE WITH YOU AND REQUESTED TO HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT AND REMOVE THE DISH (SLIMLINE) FROM MY PROPERTY. ALSO IT WAS NOTED THAT I COULD EXPECT A CHECK FOR A CREDIT OF $113.58. TO DATE NONE OF THIS HAS HAPPENED. I DID CONTACT SOMEONE BY PHONE AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE SENT SOON. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF EITHER OF THESE THINGS ARE IN THE WORKS. I WOULD LIKE TO FINISH UP THIS SERVICE ON A GOOD NOTE. THANKS, ROBERTA A. BREBAUGH

This has got to be the worse service ever....I do not get any high definition Channel therefore cannot do playback...AT&T has high jack MY EMAIL ACCOUNT - DRIECT TV CALL MY PHONE AND pretends to be WellsFargo Bank and if I receive another call I will report you guys to the communication authority. Paid my bill and AT&T lost the information and blame it on my bank even after I got a confirmation -- bank stated they were lying no payment had been returned.

The bill pay is horrible and it is long and exhausting.....I hate this service you guys need to be put out of business.

I’m complaining about the rude and disrespectful customer representative that,I spoke today on my cellphone about my account.And the customer representative that was suppose to set up my payment arrangement on my account and she didn’t set it up for me because when,I got home my service was suspended and,I’m a very unhappy customer because how the customer representative was talking to me on the phone.So,I’m canceling my service with y’all because,I’m not happy with y’all no more.And you contact me on my cellphone because,I don’t be getting no email or nothing from y’all my cellphone 615-848-4865

I went overseas in March of 2018. Prior to leaving, I contacted my wireless carrier, AT&T, to inquire about data packages to add to my existing plan to use my service while out of the country.

I spoke to a customer service representative who detailed to me a data plan that I could add to my service to provide "unlimited" data while traveling. I added the service to my plan.

Upon returning, AT&T sent me a bill for overage charges - about $400.00. I promptly called AT&T to resolve this matter, as I believe it was a mistake.

I spoke to another customer service representative who informed me that the original rep I spoke to had misinformed me, but that I could dispute the overage charges and have them removed from my bill. I filed a dispute, and was informed that AT&T would contact me within 10 business days with a response.

Weeks go by, and I received no communication from AT&T. I contacted Customer Service again to inquire about the status of the dispute. I was informed that AT&T had not yet issued a decision, but that I could file another dispute to expedite the process. I was also informed on this call that I did not have to pay the overage charges while the amount was in dispute.

More time goes by, and late charges start to accrue. I received no communication from AT&T and the bill was nearing $1,000. I reached out to the company again to inquire about the disputes, but also to arrange a payment agreement to pay down the bill as the total amount had become much too high for me to pay all at once.

I spoke to AT&T's billing department - I was informed they would not be able to allow me to pay down the bill overtime and that the total amount was due all at once, but that once again, I could either file another dispute, enter into arbitration or contact customer care.

I reached out to several department heads, managers, and customer service representatives to complain about this dispute process, and resolve the outstanding balance.

I received different answers each time - some customer service representatives advised "waiting it out," others advised filing more disputes.

Finally, the bill has reached more that's $2,000 and AT&T has cancelled my service, threatening collections actions.

I have worked tirelessly for the past year to resolve this issue with AT&T, all the while they have not provided me with a workable solution to resolve the bill.

The overage charges are the result of being initially misinformed by their customer service representatives, and they have not acknowledged this initial issue was their fault. Further, I have reached out to AT&T in several attempts to resolve the bill by asking for entering into at least a payment agreement, but they have refused to work with me on this, even though this matter is their fault.

Further, the late fees and cancellation fees are the result of their negligence in handling the dispute process in a timely manner, and having under informed customer service representatives provide me with misinformation, causing confusion, stress, and a lot of lost time.

I would like for an organization to help resolve this matter. I do not wish for this issue to be resolved in a collections process, as I've done everything that I can as consumer to be responsible, responsive and proactive in informing AT&T's channels of customer service and billing about the ongoing issue with my account, but never received any helpful or accurate advise, assistance, or resolution.

I would like for an organization to interface with AT&T to present this information and impress the importance of treating their customers with dignity and respect, and to acknowledge their fault in this matter, to remove the erroneous overage and cancellation fees, and to work as a organization to improve how they interface with their customers and public.

can ANYONE tell me what the ATT service actually costs....in dollars and cents? I HAVE AUTOPAY....had a two-year contract which expired in March.
Just wanted to KNOW [!!!!!] how much it costs to keep my bundle. How hard is it to come up with a price? First I was told the price would go up from 107 dollars to 163 dollars....firm. Then someone told me about discounts....and fixed a price at 85 dollars...wow. loved that. got a letter confirming the discounts and new price....the a bill arrived for 155.01....they will charge that to my checking account and I have no choice in the matter!!!!
is that extortion? is this even legal?
if I buy a product...is it my right to know the price? or can ATT take what they want when they want? must I close the checking account to cancel the payment? So, now I want to cancel ATT and Directv bundle....can I do this? how????
the lowest price they quoted was 87 dollars for the bundle....is that truth or fiction? how soon can I find out?
Spectrum is offering a no-hassle no-strings-attached deal for 81.95 dollars....ATT and Directv can't beat that....minus the frustration and annoyance.
there is no way....that I'll pay 155 dollars per month for this nonsense....Don't even watch cable....have a pre-paid cell phone for ten dollars a month.

Dealing with ATT has been a nightmare. Direct Tv went in with few problems but promised $300 reward card using code wbk 11 received $200.
Uverse internet high speed -Rep. took a week to get in service and lost a week internet. Took many calls and 120 days to get line buried. It took many calls to get $100 reward card. Mobile free phone I am still working on , $30 added to bill each month for free phone. Customer service has no clue. The company is run like three separate companies. I have spent 40 hours dealing with one problem and then another. I got billed on March 19 for$213.20 which was correct. On March 20 I got billed $213.20 which was double billed. Since I was in auto pay I called bank to get one cancelled. On March 22 I get email from ATT that they made a mistake on charge which they credited out. However, with the bank holding the $213 and ATT credit it shows that I did not pay bill so I was kicked out of auto pay.

Won't honor price given monthly after phones paid off dishonest service unhelpful insist they are helping when in reality they still won't honor the original price jump you around from person to person they are very good at misdirection and misleading so big a corporation they don't care been with them for many years will try to find honest carrier.

Enrolled in your buy a phone give phone promo on 8/15/18. Salesman said all I had to do was add a line. I did turns out i bought two phones called customer loyalty people (christina) called me liar. All this after 21 Years as a customer. Just paid off both phones so I can get them unlocked and shop for new service. I want not to believe what your customer loyalty person said to me and how rude she was. I trusted you (ATT) thought you were the best. My mistake was not looking at my detailed bill which comes electronically. I just pay it and trusted you. I now truly believe that customer service does not exist. Went to cancel you guys cause of bad experience with you customer service i got conned into the buy one get one free when you add a line. Look at me as a customer since 1998...504-495-4537. Contacted you back in August about the bad experience via this same platform. Never heard from as I'm sure I won't this time

I got treated rudely by 1 manager who was cashing his attitude was nasty towards me in front of the customers because I went in to subway to get a seafood sensation he also had an associate involved in the matter which I am upset about. The associate had dark skin had a foreign accent one manager had glasses on the associate than told my friend to get out of subway just because he was not ordering anything the associate for involved with the 2 managers and than the 3 of them gained up on me by words the managers yelled at me just because they worked overtime I than told them that it wasn't my problem it was yours

I spent over 2 hours on the phone with AT&T on March 13th,2019. I was advised after timely conservations I could not put my cable and internet on vacation, due to already using this privilege 3 times in the past year. I cannot understand why you would give up a good paying customer of 3 years.
I live in a community which only offers AT&T cable and internet. I wish someone in authority would give me a call at 256-759-5535 after looking up and either listening or reading conversations made to AT&T on March 13,2019! I finally asked to have my service cut off since I will be out of town. I was not offered any concessions to work out my problems!

Purchased a new IPhone 7 last week NO cell sevice in my apartment despite the fact I had no problems with my old 4.I now have 1 star and must go out into my buildings hall way to use the phone!!!!I have called ATT probably a dozen times over the last week to no avail....

LATE PAYMENT CHARGE $9.25 BUT WE DID NOT PAY LATE

our invoice was under-paid by $6.60 on a total bill of 80.60 in ERROR ONLY UNDER-PAID NOT LATE

YOU CHARGED US $9.25 ON AN UNDERPAY OF ONLY $6.60 REALLY
IS THAT OVER 100% PENALTY

COME ON THIS IS ABSURD BUT PROFITABLE

The problem began in January. I went into the Sitka, AK ATT store to sign up for a travel plan, the passport, around January 3. I wanted one for me and one for my wife. This was after I attempted to do it on line, which was also frustrating. I understood I could begin the plan within thirty days of implementing it. I asked that it begin January 17. Several days later I received a notice the plan was in force. I was in Ketchikan, so I went to the ATT store there. They looked up my plan and saw it was already in effect. Seeing me in Ketchikan convinced them I was not in Costa Rica, so they told me they were terminating the initial plan and would begin a new one beginning January 17. I am certain you can look at my record and see one phone call and lots of data use between January 17 and February 8. So now I have been billed twice, totaling $120 for each incident, two passports for two months.

I called 611 around February 11 to explain the problem. I was given an incident number and was told it would be looked into. After a week or so waiting, I called again. I was told it is being looked into. I asked to speak with the department, who does the looking into and was told that is not possible. Even with an incident number there was no one to speak with or a supervisor to speak with to learn what was going on with my billing problem. This is after trudging through several menus, being placed on hold and being cut off. As of now I’m still waiting for a refund.

As a customer I am completely frustrated. Unfortunately, I have no choices in wireless carriers where I live or I would switch. As a shareholder in ATT, I am concerned about our business practices. Clearly I am not the only customer who experiences this appalling service.

I request that my claim be quickly resolved and that your practices for managing customer problems be vastly improved. I would even expect some form of extra compensation for all the time I have put into communicating with ATT but will not hold my breath for that.

I Was told in September 2018 (from your Loyalty department) that I would continue to receive a -$15.00 credit on T.V. for 12 months, of course 6 months later it has fallen off and they wont put the credit back on. This was promised on 9/12/2018, AND WAS SUPPOSED TO LAST 12 MOS. They also needed me to commit to another year, which I did and I have paid every month on time. OK for them to breach the contract, but not the customer!!! Every three- six months you have to call them to complain that the bill is not what was told. Today- I told the rep I was speaking with, this is your guys problem not mine, I told them their customer care calls are recorded and to go back and pull the recording from that day and honor it. He told me he didn't have any promotion he could add to my account at this time. I want AT&T TO HONOR WHAT THE HELL I WAS TOLD FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE! By god I'm going to file a complaint with the CEO of AT&T, BBB, FCC, Ohio State Attorney General Office. Your lousy practices NEED to STOP!

Last year I caught several employees lying to me about my account and service and when I filled complaint/law suit I was called from the office of the President, she left me a message and told me that they would give me a payment of 27.00 per month indefinitely as long as I didn't miss any payments. I then called her back and got the same information from her verbally.

Now they have increased my bill again stating that I was on a promotion which I was not.
Now I don't know how that had to fix it in the system to make my payments 27.18 but I know I was not on a promotion so if they DONOT correct my bill, I will continue with a new law suit.

Dear Mr. Stevenson,
Re: Account #101303582
Hi, I would like to introduce myself and tell you what recently occurred with my experience with an ATT representative and really hope that you can help us out with the situation. I know that you are really busy, but I am hoping that you can take the time to read this.
My name is Suzanne Newman I am 74 and live in Coconut Creek, Fl. I have been a long-term customer of ATT (internet, Direct TV & land line & always trusted your brand to be honest and forthright.
I was contacted by an ATT Rep asking if we wanted to increase my internet speed & agreed to have a technician come to our house on Friday 2/22/2019 to check the wires for the ability to have the speed increased . The same day a Mr. Marco Vergara from Integrated Solutions Constant in Home Solutions, rang our bell asking if he could talk to us about cellular service.
He was selling ATT cellular, we made comparisons with Sprint our current carrier. He advised that there was a promotion now that ATT would payoff our contract with Sprint.
He promised new phones, a drop in our Direct TV bill and the if we switched, we would be entitled to free HBO & a choice of another premium station for as long as we have our phone. He also said that he sent to his manager for us to get a discount on our cellular bill and for the internet.
I agreed to switch since he said that he could match our Sprint monthly bill he left & returned to provide us with a new I phone and a Samsung Android for our 2 numbers. We transferred the data onto to the new phones and he said that he would return the next day to erase our old phones and take them with him.
He also said that he was leaving on a 2-week vacation, but that he would set us all up before he left. He advised me that I would need to call ATT’s number to have the HBO started.
I called 800-288-2020 and spoke with several customer service reps. I spent about 2 ½ hours on the phone trying to txt words to a 5 digit # to start the HBO, I asked to speak to a supervisor, but none were available. I gave up after I was placed on hold for over 20 minutes.
Mr. Vergara returned on Saturday to erase our old phones and take them with him. He left on vacation
I called back and spoke to Marvin, I provided him my account number and when he looked my cellular service & advised that I didn’t have the correct (more expensive plan) that entitled me to the free HBO.
Therefore, Marco Vergara misled and misinformed us of the information, to switch from Sprint to ATT and I am very unhappy with this poor customer services. On Monday we went into an ATT store to see if they could help us. The issue is that we were paying $135 a month with Sprint, and he promised that he would meet that monthly amount with ATT, but we understand that is not true, but will be closer to $177. We are both on social security & can not manage that amount of money. Since we have been customers for a long time and have our other services with ATT, I am hoping that you can help keep us by matching our bill with Sprint and provide the HBO as promised by your representative. The issue is that we can not find our old phones to even switch back to Sprint, so we really need you help. Thank you so much for your consideration in taking care of this. Suzanne Newman

I BOUGHT A T&T phone at dollar store. Paid 30.00 for minutes. Had to return phone as it got stuck on Dutch language by mistake and it wouldn't correct itself. I returned the phone but I am out $30.00 and I need that money. I am 82 years old and on a fixed income. Very upset that the phone did not work. I had to buy AT&T minutes because of your policy. Would love a refund.

I am following up my phone complaint with a email for documentation. I spoke with Yanira last nite about my complaint about a service tech that came to my house. I received a call saying the service tech coming out to my house was going to be a female and i asked that someone call me before they came out as my road was flooded and was going to give directions around the water and i was going to put my animals away so the tech didn’t have to work around them. I am a single female that lives in the woods with no one around me so i was glad they were sending a female tech. i was outside when a very poorly maintained truck with no identification on the vehicle pulled into my drive, not thinking of the tech because they were suppose to call, a very large man with a burly appearance pulled into my house. i became very frightened not expecting this person. He had no identification, no uniform, or marked vehicle. as i was screaming at him through his window..DO NOT GET OUT OF YOUR TRUCK!! over and over. as he was opening his door.. I finally yelled at him, WHO ARE YOU!!!??? AND WHAT DO YOU WANT!!! He replied I’m hear to fix ur tv.. Very surprised I yelled ..YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO CALL FIRST!!! AND YOUR BOSS SAID HE WAS GONING TO SEND A GIRL!?? I want to express my concern about how this tech was sent to my house and his boss did NOTHING that he said he was going too. As I said i spoke with Yanira, she was very helpful and had the most respect for my feeling the way I did and that this was a very inappropriate way for them to do business and that it shouldn’t have happened. Please see that this doesn’t happen again to anyone it was a terrible experience .
Thank you
Krisanne Waske

Since Dec 2018, I've been charged for home phone service that I did not ask for and AT & T did not install however, AT & T have yet to rectify the issue and have yet to refund the charges. Once AT & T is allowed to make automatic deductions from a bank account it seems they are even slower about making corrections to accounts. Sad, especially if you are on a fixed income.

on 2/14/1/9 I had my personal email taken away from me. I have tried with no avail to get back my personal email account. I have lied to, hung up on, transferred and that's just the nice parts. This isn't my first run in with ATT. but to allow a customer of Att. to outright steal it beyond me. I have tracked my email to the Indianapolis, in region. Att still has my documents and all my intellectual property. I will be contacting the federal authories and the attorney general. I'm have let this go on far too long without any results. You cant thieve law biding citizen and get away with it....l want my property back!!!!!!~!~!~

re: daveclarkagency@sbcglobal.net

You violated our contract by inititiaing a combining of my internet and wireless bills my consent. Please see below documentation of the problem. To ensure that no further complaints are filed you will need to issue a credit in the amount of $1000.00 which is equivelent to the 30 plus hours I have spent on the phone dealing with your poorly educated and unaccpetable customer service team which needs about 100 more hours of training. I have been with AT&T for well over 20 years and have never been treated with such callousness and disdain. Is this how you repay your loyalty for long standing customers? I can't even trust anything any representative states in your organization because everything that spews from thier mouths are lies.
On December 4, 2018 your company initiated combing our wireless bill Account (#436044660926) with our internet account (#285522852) without consent.,
December 26, 2018 – On or about this date I began an online chat with Christine and asked her to please identify what was happening with our account as the payment had been made on the wireless account #436044660926 but the auto pay on our internet account #285522852 was stopped and I had to make a manual payment. I advised Christine that I noticed a memo on my account stating that there was a combining of bills that I had not authorized and asked her to identify who and when this process began. She advised that the process had begun on December 4, 2018. I advised Christine that this was unauthorized activity on my account and to cease the activity immediately. She advised that she could do nothing and sent me to the Elite billing department in Chicago. I then re-explained that this action was not authorized, in fact that the person who set this in motion was advised that such actions could not be done because of the circumstance behind this. I was then advised that nothing could be done until the billing combining was complete. I would then have to call again and have them undo the process which could take up to 3 months. I advised her that was unacceptable and reminded her that this action was taken on by AT&T without my consent. I had exchanged several emails between myself and the Elite Care Team in Chicago over the span from this date up until early January.
January 15, 2019 – After checking my bill and receiving notification that the combining of my wireless and internet bill was complete, I once again called AT&T and spoke with Paula. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with her (please note that between the previous phone, internet chat, and emails back and forth to date all totaled close to 6 hours of time to repair the damages AT&T did on this account). I explained in great detail to Paula all that had transpired and needed her to explain how I could go from paying a bill of $487 to having a bill of $911. She advised that since my account was so old, I was grandfathered in to one payment style which changed and now I had to pay two months because I had to pay the current and one month ahead which was their current billing pattern. In the past apparently, I had been paying the current month opposed to prepay which apparently is how AT&T works now. She advised that the billing statement generated on January 1, 2019 included two billing periods. The first was on the old cycle for January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2019, and the second encompassed the billing cycle for February 1, 2019 to February 28, 2019. The next bill generated would be March 2, 2019 and would be due March 22, 2019. I advised her again, as I had done to the previous other agents of AT&T, that their intervention into my account is creating an unnecessary hardship for me and that I did not want this in the first place. I advised her that I could not pay this bill in full and should not be made to do so since this was not my doing and was done against my consent. Paula graciously setup a payment plan to accommodate the hardship of which I was to pay $573.84 on January 17, 2019 and the remaining balance of $337.77 was to be paid on or before February 20, 2019. Please be advised that I complied fully with this payment arrangement.
After a long conversation, Paula convinced me to keep the bills combined that the benefit was worth the effort. I agreed to keep the bill combined and asked Paula several times to please check my account and make sure no other action was pending, that I wished to have my account as is and that AT&T did not have permission to do anything further on this account. The conversation closed with the promise from Paula stating that on January 15, 2019 no further action was pending on this account, the account was combined and would remain combined, and from that day moving forward my account charges would be $252.40 for my wireless and my internet would be $60. I once again reiterated that AT&T has no authorization to do anything further on this account. Paula stated that my account had been noted for future reference.
February 13, 2019 – I woke to find our phone service had been shutdown for nonpayment. I looked at the account which clearly showed the pending payment agreement with an amount of $284 left to pay on February 20, 2019. I then attempted an internet chat with Josh because I had no phone service. He treated me with disdain and would not listen to what I was stating. He advised that I needed to contact the fraud department, I told him no I needed to have my services turned back on. He said he could not comply with that, I had an outstanding bill that needed to be paid. I told him that everything was paid as agreed and the only outstanding balance on the account was part of a payment agreement made on January 15, 2019 with Paula that clearly showed on my account. To expedite the reinstatement on my account I paid the balance of the payment plan in full in the event this was causing the current shut down of our phone.
Not getting anywhere with Josh I had to go to my parent’s house and call AT&T to get an explanation as to why my phones were shut down and to advise that payment had been made and that AT&T needed to reverse all late charges and additional charges applied to my account as a condition of this action taken against us. I called at 8:09 a.m. from my parents’ home and spoke with Jaime. I explained to Jaime that I was beyond upset with the manner in which AT&T had taken upon themselves to make changes to my account without my expressed consent. I then advised him on what had been done on this account and that I had been compliant with their requests from the start. Jaime advised me that my bill had been uncombined, once again AT&T had acted on my account against my wishes, and that a new account number had been generated for this account (New #436161367368) and that bill was the one that triggered the shut down of my phone. I advised Jaime that I had only two accounts with AT&T, our old wireless account 436044660926 which had been cancelled on January 24, 2019 by AT&T, and the new combined bill which incorporated both the internet and wireless which was account #285522852. Jamie advised that the other account number #436161367368 was established on January 8, 2019 of which I had no documentation, nothing had been emailed to me, and this account number does not even appear on my account information attached to this phone number. I requested that this new bill be sent to me by email as my account currently did not reflect this new account number and that when I pull up any account under my current phone number 209-535-2534 it shows a zero balance and the information reflected above. Jamie apologized for any inconvenience and stated he would make payment arrangements to hold off the other bill payment until February 23, 2019 until I had sufficient time to review and act on the information provided.
February 19, 2019 - To date, having now asked twice for the information to be sent to me, I have not received any documentation with regard to this account # 436161367368 of which they state that I owe $301.58. To date I have already paid the outstanding balance of $911.61. Online shows that I have a zero balance as of today, no other account is showing on this phone number 209-535-2534. I fear that they will once again be shutting my phone down no matter what I do to try to comply. I am being charged fees of which I am not being given the opportunity to dispute or even validate.
February 19, 2019 – spoke with Rose @ 4:33 p.m. and explained everything. I provided her with all the account numbers in question. She was unable to advise me how this could become such a problem. She and her supervisor Sue took well over three hours, almost 2 hours with me on the phone, reviewing the transactions that had occurred on all three accounts. Rose and her supervisor had determined that payments were being applied to the old account number instead of the new one which had a credit balance of $483.84 which she then applied to the new account # 43616136368. She advised me that the balance owing was $374 due on March 1, 2019. I then asked that she ensure that they were not going to be shutting my phones off if this amount was not paid by February 23, 2019 because presently, I was being threatened with that if payment was not received by the agreed upon time frame. She assured me moving forward that she would notate the file of the transfer in place for the credit balance on account 436044660926 and that the account was in good standing. I advised Rose that it was necessary that they make sure my account was reversed of all late fees and anything showing s been looking into the problem and enlisted the assistance of her supervisor to resolve the issue.
February 20, 2019 – AT&T doesn’t seem to learn their lesson and once again shut off our service after I received confirmation from Rose that this would not happen. Had to do a live chat with Mark Pattinson @ 12:40 to get this resolved again. They continue to say that my account is past due when it is not. They continue to screw with my account without permission, they continue to add late charges and they continue to shut my phone service off.
After three hours on the phone with 7 different people I finally spoke with Meagan who essential told me that everything Rose advised me of was a lie and that there was no credit being generated on this account. I was once again forced to make yet another payment of $296, adding to the $911.62 that I have already paid and according to AT&T still owe and additional $556 by March 1, 2018. No one could explain to me the nature of the bill, why it was lapping over in the same billing period, and why this happened in the first place. I am basically being told to shut up and pay or not have the service which at this point is not an option since my husband uses this for work and we have no land line. I am currently looking into another service for my husband as this can’t continue and AT&T has not assured me this will not happen again.

call Three times to make a payment arrangements and three different people toll me three different answer does not work, such a big company and doesn't have a simple answer what a shame not good for customers....they don't care.

We switched from WOW to AT&T on 12/30. We were told that AT&T would handle all the transferring of cable, phone and internet.
We happily wanted for the new service to be installed.
On their first attempt, the AT&T tech did not have enough wireless boxes that we requested.
Why wouldn't they call and say something BEFORE arriving on site and then telling us. My wife had to take a day off of work for the install that didn't happen. So we had to reschedule. On the second install date, the tech did install the new cable and internet. The install of those two went ok. Notice that I didn't say phone, we were told that AT&T informed WOW a week ahead of time of the swap to give them a heads up of the changes coming. We were told at the second install that the phone port change would take about a week. We called numerous times after that checking on the status and kept being told it will just be another couple of days for WOW to release our phone number that we had for 15 years.
Today when i called the lady she said no problem and the phone would be ported on 2/26. GREAT, or so I thought. A little while later the AT&T rep called and said we couldn't port it any more. We had to call WOW. WOW closed the account and wanted $50.00 to connect a box and reactive the account but only if we responded in the next day. Then they wanted another $50.00 to disconnect the box. Someone also needs to be home for this to happen, both on the install and disconnect. What happened to customer service and doing what you tell the customer you are going to do the first time??? Now our doctor appointments have been missed because we used the house number.

The e-mail listed above, frankcabral442@att.net, I have not gotten in it for over 5 months. I have tried everything and I mean everything, I have called at&t to fix it so many times it is not funny. I went to a corporate store to get it fixed and nothing happened. You try to improve AT&T but you are making it worse. If you should know of a fix send it too maryjtetrault@hotmail.com Thanks.

I bundled DIrectv with AT&T internet and my nightmare began. The internet was never strong enough to provide TV service, on demand features or record back. Over FOUR MONTHS, I had ELEVEN technicians at my home. All arguing over whos fault the problem was. I spent over 100 (ONE HUNDRED) hours of my life on the phone or waiting/home with these technicians. I lost a tremendous amount of work over this. After 4 months of HELL I was told by an AT&T manager that I should cancel my services, WITHOUT CHARGE and go to another carrier after all they put me through. I did just that, went to another carrier for 30 days for both internet and TV. I have always preferred to DirecTV and returned to them 30 days later but kept my internet with Spectrum. Once I did this, ALL issues were resolved and everything went back to normal.

Eight months later I receive a collection notice from Diversified Consultants. I called them on Februrary 11th and the rep told me that it doesnt matter if AT&T provides TERRIBLE SERVICE THAT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT EVEN THEIR CABLE NETWORK, that their contract states I am required to pay them regardless of the trouble, time I invested or that I returned the equipment. I am appalled that AT&T thinks they can sue me for $600 after I gave them FOUR MONTHS to resolve the issue. I not only lost work hours, but the damage they did to my house installing wires that didnt belong, the hours I spent fighting with people over the phone, the frustration and anger I experienced over this. Now I am forced to hire an attorney to SUE THEM for damages to my credit, lost wages and pain and suffering.

My experience has been horrible from day one. When I first signed up with ATT and DirectTV I signed a 2 year fixed price contract and was told my fixed price was $95 plus only my local taxes. On install day found out they were installing wrong equipment and only way to fix it was to cancel my order and place a new order. Next day got correct equipment installed and had to sign a new contract. This is where they pulled the switch on me. I did not receive a copy of my new contract but I see on the web site that the price in only guaranteed for 12 months instead of 24 and my new price is now $114.I signed up for auto pay and that did not happen either. Absolutely everything I was told was incorrect. I have called and asked several times to get this corrected with no success. I want to cancel my entire contract, I have been taken advantage of and lied to from day one. I see there are many, many others with the same complaints, I don't want to pursue this legally but I will if necessary.

in November I purchased a new galaxy 9 smart phone. Going from a Galaxy 5. I never went over my 300 data limit with the 5. In fact I rolled over my data. In January AT&T pushed an app to manage my data. On Friday the last week in January I received a message that I had used 75% of my data plan. 2 hours later I had the text I had reached 90%. On Saturday I received a message I was over and a charge would be added. All this happened without using the phone once.

When I contacted AT&T by phone they said I had to shut off the data usage. It would not allow me to do that. So I had to go in and have a tech do that. His explaination was that the G9 updates more often and therefore uses the data. I was also told the new charge would be reveresed-that didn't happen. AT&T should be fined for these types of activities. It just seems every month there is some new scheme to get more money added to the bill.

I want to be reimmbursed for the charge and my time to fix something which should not have happened. The data usage increase should also have been explained at the time of purchasing the phone.

at&t sent me a bill for unauthorized connection. I tried to contact them again today (2/1/19) to settle this, and they hung up on me TWICE!!! What kind of people are working for you?? The number I called was 866-595-1329. Even though I cancelled my base station acct. in 9/18, I keep getting billed for it. It's up to $220 and I didn't authorize it. This is the fourth time I have contacted at&t about this. I WILL NOT PAY IT!!

I own two homes, one in Texas and one in Oklahoma. We have AT&T internet in both homes and had Direct TV in Texas and AT&T U Verse in Oklahoma. We are selling the Texas home due to my retirement and when I cancelled Direct TV they charged me a $100.50 early termination fee. I cannot transfer Direct to my other home because I'm already paying AT&T for their services there. So in effect AT&T charges you if you have a life event that requires a move. I am going to work very hard to get AT&T out of my life.

I canceled the satellite service to be effective 01-10-19. I was promised that no further withdrawals would be made from my account and that in fact I would receive $64.86 would be refunded because I pay in ADVANCE. On 01-16-19 an amount of $138.97 was taken from my bank account (which made me overdrawn and cost me Bank fees. I have spent over 10 hours in the last 2 weeks on the phone with about 8 different people giving me promises that I would receive the $64.86 plus the $138.97 that was taken from my bank AFTER I had already canceled the service. I only just received the return kit to send back the DVR on 01-23-19 and sent it back on 01-24-19. I have been promised phone calls that I never receive. I have been promised E-mails that I never receive. I am a 74 year old disabled person living on a little over$1000/month. The money that ATT has taken from my account and is taking forever to get back to me is 20 percent of my monthly income. I cannot buy prescriptions that I need because your personnel don't seem to know what they are doing. EVERY time I call someone gives me a different amount and a different time to expect my money to be returned. I have now been sitting here waiting for a promised phone call (she said 10 minutes) it's been 30. I probably won't even receive a reply to this but 20 percent of my income is life threatening to me, so I must do something because your support(including 2 supervisors) don't seem to know what they are doing. Will someone PLEASE solve this problem!

AT & T cancelled my service due to an address mix-up. I DID NOT CANCEL ANY SERVICE!
I was told I will need to be set up with new service. Needing permission for a credit check. I am requesting A T & T to restore my service that I did not cancel. I should not be penalized due to your mistake. This also has effected my billing as I had a package deal.
saying I'm sorry isn't helping me at all!!! Should I contact the news station to assist me?

This is now my 2nd. attempt at trying to resolve an issue since Jan.2nd. 2019 !! Every day since Jan.2nd, between the hours of 2pm and 2:30pm, I have received a message from AT&T on my answering machine saying that 214 is scheduled for activation by 8pm. Be advised , that this call is becoming very bothersome and has absolutely nothing to do with me. I assume it has something to do with my DSL Internet service. I was activated by AT&T on Oct.9th. 2018. so I do not know why I am receiving these calls. I would appreciate it if this problem was rectified. I am getting tired of coming home to this message every single day !! I hope something can be done to resolve this annoying issue ? I do not want to listen to it the rest of my life !!! The last thing I was made aware of was that it would be looked into. But, I am still receiving the calls.I have been with AT&T for over 17years ! I do not believe that they want to lose a good customer because of this issue. ( But I'm getting real close. ) Something should be able to be done about this problem. Thank You, Joseph Bongiorno 501-922-0214 (607) This is the affected AT&T account #.

YOU LET MY VISA CARD INFORMATION OUT AND I GOT HACKED. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE 6 TIMES AND GOT NO HELP.

YOU GAVE OUT MY INFORMATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT.??? SO FAR YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING AT ALL.

To whom it may concern. Hope fully you can solve this problem that I have been having since January 2nd. 2019. Everyday at approximately 2:00 to 2:30, I have been receiving a phone message on my answering machine saying that 214 is scheduled for activation by 8 pm. I am assuming that this is regarding my Internet activation. Please be advised that on October 9th. 2018 my Internet service was activated by AT & T. So this phone call does not pertain to me ! I have made several calls to AT &T to solve this issue but to no avail. There is nothing wrong with my service. I do not appreciate coming home to this message on my answering machine everyday !! I would like it to stop because it is becoming very annoying. My name is Joseph Bongiorno. My phone # is 501-922-0214. I would appreciate it if this issue was rectified. I want these calls STOPPED. If possible, I would like someone to respond to this e-mail so as to know that I haven't wasted my time. Thank You. (P.S.,) I hope this problem can be taken care of ,or I may have to take it to the next level !! Joseph Bongiorno

They lie!!!

worst service ever. lied non stop. spent hours trying to fix situation. bill kept going up. $250 in 30 days for only internet? never had such bad experience. bill started at $30 a month, when I got it it was 70 per month then went up from. there. worst customer service.
