Trade in Rip off, terrible customer service

Somehow you left out important details that might make all the difference between getting trading credits and not. Why are they telling you now that the phones are found that they won't give you credit? Did you meet all the requirements of the deal? If not what requirements are they say are not met?

Did you ever file a better Business bureau complaint online. These complaints are forwarded to upper management and they will contact you. Regular customer support has very little power to correct major mistakes. If you're being told you are past the 30-day limit when you mailed your phones in time, but to the wrong location, this is able to be resolved but not by Frontline CSR s

Now they are claiming that I did not turn off the find my Iphone function.  But I had them walk me thru the process before I sent them in.  They don't recall that, nor was it an issue when I talk to them in Jan.  

Every time I've managed to get to someone that could "help" I was assured it was all set, and we just needed to wait a couple billing cycles for the credits to show up.  Now 5+ months later, they have no recollection of what happened before, and obviously I can't get my old phones back to undo this fiasco.

No on the BBB complaint, how do I do that?

No on the BBB complaint, how do I do that?

Google it.

While I was on the phone with a manager being informed of getting Zero credits, I said " I should turn off autoPay and have you come and get the money you think I owe you".  Today I got confirmation of my auto pay being cancelled.  I did nothing other than vent.  Just find it very nefarious to do that, I' reestablished the auto pay, but it gives me ATT's patent line " these changes may take 1-2 billing cycles to show up" so now I'm supposed to babysit my payment, so ATT doesn't dig me an even deeper hole to deal with.

BBB complaint filed.  That got more people talking like they were going to help. But as of now, no concrete attempts at remedying this situation.  

@SASobol 

I don't know who told you to turn off autopay, that was bad advice.  If you don't pay your bill, service would get suspended, and your account would not be in good standing which would mean you would not be eligible for any promotional credits anyway.

@formerlyknownas No one told them to do it, they requested it out of frustration (likely intended to be hyperbole).

Correct, and My point was this operator did in fact turn off autopay, and I would argue it was an attempt to undermine me even further

" office of the president" which was now appointed to me has been unable to connect by phone for over a week.  I still stand firm with my original statement.  I worked harder on this, and more hours.  i should be given the phones at this point.  Not happy at all, customer service, loyalty.....gone
