Hurricane Matthew and relief of data overage charges
I have called four times since the hurricane and verified that Charleston County SC was a county that was approved for overage charges to be forgiven. I have had two open cases since October and each time I am assured the charges will be removed from my bill but they continue to show up. I am worried this will negatively impact my credit and I do not understand why this hasn't been fixed yet. PLEASE can someone at AT&T help me.

@lisabone Please review the relief offer here. http://about.att.com/story/att_expands_relief_for_those_affected_by_hurricane_matthew.html
"In counties in South Carolina and North Carolina, talk, text, and data usage from October 7 through 11 will not result in overage charges for post-paid customers.**"
Then review your usage on the bill for this time period. Usage before the 7th and after the 11th is not exempt from charges.
For example: If you have a 15 gig plan and used 20 gigs, and only 3 gigs were during the time period forgiven, then you would still be charged for 2 gigs.

Thank you for the response. We have a 20 GB plan and we went over by 7.8 GB. On 10-07 alone, we used way over that amount so it should all be covered and our billing cycle ended on 10-08.

You NEED to pay that bill. Don't let it affect your credit OR your standing with AT&T.
Once they get it figured out, they'll credit it to your bill. And you'll basically have most of that month covered.

It's paid and I will never see that money again. I will be looking into changing carriers now.

Section 1.4 of TOS
https://www.att.com/legal/terms.wirelessCustomerAgreement.html#whatChargesAmIResponsibleFor
You have the right to dispute charges, but have a limited time to do so. Note address to mail a letter. Also in section 2 is your right to arbitration. Since your bill is paid, they can't make a fuss about late payment.
Were you given an explaination?
We did see a post from someone who hadn't changed his address from a non effected area (recent move). He did not get his overage waived.

@lisabone
Contact by message @ATTMobilityCare. And give them a time limit to fix it. If that fails to get results, then its time to stop playing nice and file an outside complaint.
