AT&T are CROOKS/Theives

Good Morning @Jonny421!

 

We are glad to see you have joined us in the Community Forums! When it comes to a promotion you were offered and have yet to receive, this can certainly be concerning. I would love to assist you in researching this matter!

 

Please expect from me a private message shortly. This way I can gather additional details from you. I hope to speak soon!

 

Until then, have an excellent weekend!

My wife and I have been ripped off by at&t on a constant basis. We had u verse for 5 years the bills were constantly escalating. We would spend hours every month disputing the cost of their service. I finally paid them off and cancelled their service after they linked our cell phones to our u verse account without authorization. I had refused to pay the cable bill till they worked out their billing. So they turned off u verse and our three cell phones. It cost me 1600.00 to get my phones back on with no delinquent phone bill. So that's it right? Nope! We sent the u verse boxes back to att and thought it was over. Well nope! They have a collection agency calling me almost daily saying we owe them 1900.00 dollars. We owe them nothing, I have receipts for the final bill from them. These people are criminals extorting money from people on the premise that they will just turn off your phone too! I am getting rid of my phones after 15 years with them. If you are thinking about going with att buy some lube.

Exactly what did you think they would do when you stopped paying the bill? Come to their senses?

It sounds like you didn't pay the bill and then they turned the phones off.

I haven't heard much about this happening before.

 

My phones were paid. Did you actually read what I posted. They turned off my phones. They had nothing to do with u verse.

I actually quoted it, so YES, I read it. Did you read what I wrote? And why/how I came up with what I did? (Read on BEFORE you respond).

 

You didn't pay the bill, I know this because you wrote "I had refused to pay the cable bill till they worked out their billing"

 

But you specifically said they had "linked our cell phones to our u verse", I know this since you told me (and I read it). So it sounds like they were on one bill.

 

If there were NOT on one bill, I'm confused on what you mean by linking? (and why you brought it up?)

You said differently in your original post: "...they linked our cell phones to our u verse account..."

 

You should ask the collection agency to send you confirmation of the debt.
