returned equipment
I have sent back AT&T's equipment (receivers), confirmed their arrival at their warehouse in Texas, and now the receivers themselves have disappeared a month and a half later. Ironically they do have record of pulling the smartcards out of my receivers at the warehouse, but someone "neglected" to log the receivers into their computer. I received a collections notice for the receivers a month and a half later. I called AT&T and they immediately asked for a UPS tracking number...before I even had a chance to explain that on my AT&T account they admit to receiving my boxes and pulling the smartcards out of them over a month and a half ago. The issue is not that AT&T did not receive my boxes (that issue would be cleared up with a tracking number) but that they received them and failed to properly log the contents at their warehouse.
That made me wonder. The, "what is your tracking number", question came out so fast and so automatic. So I did an Internet search on AT&T complaints and found several that matched my issue, including some people who had thrown away their tracking number already because in some cases months had passed since they confirmed with UPS that their package arrived safe and sound at AT&T's warehouse. I "gently" explained to AT&T that if I provide them with my tracking number their contention will be that I "removed the smartcards myself and only sent those back". Somehow I guess I have found a way to turn their receivers into planter boxers or something:)
I am getting the impression that AT&T sends out a blanket statement / collections notice to a random sample of their customers hoping to land on their former customers who cannot "fight" the allegation that they did not send something back. I am to understand that "fighting" this allegation is to provide a UPS tracking number. Period. What is even better is that they let a considerable amount of time elapse between when the equipment was returned and when the collection notices go out, therefore decreasing the chance that someone kept their tracking number.
It would be a great scam...the customers they affect are already former customers, time is the customer's worst enemy when it comes to trying to prove they sent back something, and UPS recycles tracking numbers (so even if you are able to provide this proof you may find yourself "recycled" two months or more removed from your shipment date).
Have you experienced one of the following regarding your equipment returns to AT&T:
1. Received a collections notice a month or more after you confirmed shipment.
2. Received a notice from AT&T claiming that your equipment never arrived.
3. Received a collections notice from AT&T that you could prove false by providing a UPS tracking number
4. Received a collections notice from AT&T that you could not prove false because you do not have a UPS tracking number.

online cell phone order
I ordered a phone online to upgrade and renew my 2 year contract with AT&T. I ordered the phone on 6/18/2009 and I received a confirmation email saying it would be delivered in 3 to 5 business days. I started calling on Wed, 6/24 to find out the status of my order as the Online Order Status never changed from "in-progress".
6/24 - representative said order looked fine. She called the warehouse to verify that the phone was in stock and said it would be shipped the next day. Didn't receive it.
6/25 - representative said order looked fine. Again they called the warehouse to verify that the phone was in stock and said I should receive it the next day. I asked for a tracking number and realized after I had hung up the phone that the rep had given me my AT&T order number as the tracking number! Again, didn't receive it.
6/26 - 9:30am - representative got a rep from the online department who said they couldn't figure out why my order hadn't shipped and that it looked like the order was stuck. She said everything looked good, the order was still there, the financial authorization looked good, the phone was in stock...etc and that it would take them a couple of hours to figure out what happened. She also said that because of the delay it would be FedEx'd overnight. I asked for a call back and gave the rep my "work number" as the wireless phone I was calling about was my son's phone.
6/26 - 2:30ish - No call back. I called AT&T and they said they had given me a call back on the wireless number I had called about even though I specifically asked them to call me on my work number. So now the rep tells me it has been on backorder even though it has never showed on the Online Order Status as in backorder and the previous two days the rep had verified with the warehouse that the phone was in stock. So I asked to speak with the online dept. The online rep said it showed that it was in a "partial shipping" state and should be shipped by Wed 7/1. I told him that the online rep that morning had told me it would be FedEx'd overnight and he said that they put in the standard shipping code and that I probably wouldn't receive it before Wed.
6/29 2:30 - online rep said that it was on backorder for awhile and that even though it is in stock there were so many orders that they are trying to get them shipped out. She could not give me a timeframe at all on when I would receive it. I told her to please document that if I did not receive the phone by Friday at 5:00 I was switching to Verizon.
Not once was I contacted via email or phone by AT&T to let me know that the phone was on backorder or that there would be a delay on my order.

at&t u-verse warning
Do not waste your time with ATT U-verse if you move into Broadstone Apartments in Fort Worth TX. The apartments are all hard wired for the service but all of the geniuses in customer service can not put your address in the system. Myself and several other residents have been attempting to get service for several weeks to months. Don't be fooled by the U-Verse pre-wiring in the closet save yourself days of aggravation and time by just going with direct tv or dish network. I promise in the end you will feel better going this route. Oh and by the way I was told by AT&T 911 is not even available real safe.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
My mother-in-law, who has been an AT&T customer since 1963, was so exited when uVerse became available in her home town of Bedford, TX. She signed up for the entire uVerse package; phone, TV, and internet. That’s when the nightmare began. Three days after the installation, the entire service went down. My mother-in-law was w/o phone, TV, or Internet. We contacted technical support and a tech was going to be dispatched the following day. The next day the tech did show up, late, but told us they couldn’t find a problem and scheduled an “underground” crew to come out the following day. So in the first 5 days of service, the entire service was out for two of those days. My mother-in-law wasn’t comfortable being w/o phone service, so she asked if she could switch the uVerse phone back to a normal phone line. AT&T scheduled that for the following Tuesday, but told us that she would have to pay $5 more a month than what she was paying previously because the plan she had had for 40 years was no longer available. On Monday, the internet went out, she called tech support, and they walked my mother-in-law through resetting the uVerse box, which seemed to work. AT&T didn’t get around to switching the phone until Thursday (remember, it was scheduled for Tuesday), and in those three days, her Internet goes out two more times and her TV goes out once. Resetting the box and waiting 15 minutes fixes the issue each time, but on Thursday, when the phone is finally switched back, the TV and Internet go out again. Resetting the box doesn’t fix it this time, and we call technical support. They say there was nothing wrong with the line and they dispatch a tech. No tech ever shows up, but everything starts working again at 10:00 PM the following day. So, if your following me so far, in the first 10 days of service, uVerse was unavailable for 5 of those days, my mother-in-law and I have spent close to 8 hours on the phone with various customer service and tech support departments, and taken two days off work. At this point my mother-in-law decides to switch back to DSL and just keep uVerse TV. We contact AT&T on Monday and they tell us there would be a tech out in two days to take care of that, but they cannot give her DSL for what she was paying before (the promotion was over) so instead of $14.99, it would be $20/month. We reluctantly agree. We receive a call on Tuesday confirming our appointment for Wednesday, so I take another day off to be there when the technician arrived, but no-one ever shows up. I contact “customer service” to let them know the technician never arrived, but instead of apologizing, they went into a “sales spiel” and ask if we wished to upgrade to a higher speed DSL service for only $14 more a month. They couldn’t tell me why the service department cancelled our original service order, and to make matters worse, they can’t get another technician out there for another two days. I “politely” explain to them that we want the same service as she had before (the same service that was suppose to have been installed today), I reschedule the DSL install for Friday, and I hang up the phone. Not more than 15 minutes later, the uVerse stops working again! We contact technical support, yet again, and are told that they cancelled our uVerse service all together since you cannot have uVerse TV w/o uVerse internet. They didn’t bother to let us know that when we scheduled the DSL install, they just turned it off! So now my mother-in-law has no TV Service, and DSL isn’t suppose to be installed for two more days! We told them that was fine, we cancelled the DSL installation, and called Time Warner.
So to summarize our AT&T uVerse experience; we had the service for 17 days. We were without a phone for 2 days of those days, had to go without TV or internet for a total of 9 days, spent over 10 hours on the phone with technical support and various “customer service” departments, and took three days off work. My mother-in-law is now being charged $5 more a month for phone service, she is no longer getting DSL for $15/month, (she opted to go with Time Warner Roadrunner for $30/month, she figured if AT&T was going to charge her $20/month anyways it was worth $10/month to have more reliable service and to never have to deal with AT&T Technical Support again), and to top it off, has to unhook and drop off all the uVerse equipment to an AT&T RMA Center herself! They couldn’t even send her a box to ship it!
I don’t know if AT&T’s new uVerse service simply doesn’t work, if my mother-in-law’s house is just in a bad area, if AT&T simply hasn’t trained their personnel properly, or what. But if you’re considering switching to AT&T uVerse, I would suggest you don’t, or at least you wait until all the bugs have been worked out. Or better yet, move to an area where Verizon FIOS is available! J
dropped calls
As an Apple user of more than 20 years, I was excited to see Apple's entrance into the wireless market. I switched to AT&T July 2008 when the Apple iPhone 3G came out. The BIGGEST mistake I have ever made. The only reason I switched was to get the Apple iPhone. Verizon was great, I NEVER dropped a call with the exception of the time I was in the middle of the Arizona desert.
To this day, I have never received the rebates promised for my wife and son's phone. (They opted for a Razor and a Shine) We added the high end DSL Service. Road Runner was 8 meg down and 512k up. AT&T was 950k down and 128K up. After a month I canceled and went back to Road Runner. Of course the AT&T Store would not take back my router as it has been more than 30 days.
Dropped calls: For the last 5 years I have traveled all over the country. Verizon was NEVER a problem. I would say I drop 2 to 3 calls a day even with the phone set on 2G. Multiply that by 365 days in a year and you get 730 to 1095 calls dropped in a years time. My wife is a Realtor and she is ready to kill me! She drops calls on a regular basis as well.
There needs to be a Class Action Lawsuit against AT&T regarding their lack of service and Apple needs to wake up! I am done with AT&T as of today regardless of the early termination fees.
AVOID AT&T AT ALL COSTS,

poor service & defective equipment
Randall L. Stephenson, chairman and chief executive officer
AT&T Corp HQ

Subject: AT&T “Service”
Dear Mr. Stephenson:
On April 29, 2009 we signed up for AT&T U-Verse, wanting to take advantage of lower rates for several months and a rebate of $300.
In four days sixty (60) days will have passed and we’re still not completely installed and we’re far from satisfied with AT&T’s “service”.
There have been nine technicians to our home for a total of eleven (11) times and you’d think that a company the size and stature of AT&T could figure out a simple residential installation in less than 60 days.
In addition, the first technician broke our window and your “loss prevention/Sedgwick” people have yet to satisfactorily compensate us for the loss and inconvenience.
The key word here is INCONVENIENCE. We’ve had to re-arrange schedules for 11 tech visits and be on hold for countless HOURS to report problems with AT&T “service”. We’ve kept a diary of phone calls, waiting times, tech visits and results.
I’m reminded of the farmer’s definition of service: “It’s what bulls do to cows”.
When our 90 day introductory period is up, we’re going to be very tempted to return to Cox. In six years with Cox, we’ve had good customer service and few problems.
By the way, I won’t be buying any AT&T stock either.
Sincerely,
Roger & Sharon Egan
Acct#[protected] (for now)
6/25 It's now 12 tech visits with lucky #13 scheduled. One of the boxes is defective and tech#1 put a staple thru the coax.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Service is an absolute nightmare! Nothing but trouble since installation in November, 2009. So far 9 techs have been to our home resulting in many, many hours of waiting for the arrival of a tech in a so called "window" of four hours. What has happened to the good old ATT that we were used to? I am going to remove all Uverse equipment and send it back and return to Comcast. Internet service does not provide the mgb that we pay for, television service freezes, telephone line has so much static that calls cannot be completed. Next step will be to contact the Fcc regarding all these problems that a competent company should be able to fix. Fred
God help you if you have Earthlink DSL and try to convert to ATT Uverse.
They told me I have to terminate the Earthlink DSL, but they can convert me to ATT DSL until the Uverse gets installed. They told me I can't schedule the Uverse installation until the Earthlink DSL has been terminated.
So they terminated the Earthlink DSL within one day, and they are supposed to give me ATT DSL now, right? We've been on the phone for almost 2 1/2 hours this morning talking to 6-8 people, got hung up on twice, transferred and dropped a few times, and we've heard a whole bunch of "I can't help you." The last person explained that their system won't let them do anything until the Earthlink DSL is out of their system which will take about 10 days! She said she tried to delete out all the codes manually.
Well, they terminated the Earthlink DSL within one day, but now the story is that we will be completely out of internet connectivity until the Uverse gets installed at some ? date - we can't even find out when that is. They can't tell me an installation date until they call me back, which is promised sometime within the next 24 hours.
I use internet connectivity for professional purposes (I work from home) and job search - what do you think my professional contacts will think hearing that I have no connectivity because my internet is down for an unknown period of time? They will probably think (1) we didn't prevent this disaster ahead of time and (2) they won't be looking to switch service from DSL to ATT Uverse any time soon.
As a 25 year computer programming veteran, I can tell you that the telephone company computer systems are not designed to service customer needs - they are designed to very efficiently bill huge numbers of customer accounts at the cheapest cost using batch processing. Because of the batch processing, customer needs, like converting from one service to another, cannot be handled efficiently, billing adjustments get hung up in the once-per-month billing cycle, and late fees and penalties are probably calculated before adjustments are applied or lost in the process. (I experienced this with AT&T cell phone services 10 years ago, and in my experience, it hasn't changed a bit.) Computers that will handle customer needs better and function more accurately are very expensive, which would take money out of the C-level and shareholder pockets.
I will update when I get more information.
I totally know what you mean! I signed up with Uverse this past October and have had nothing but PROBLEMs with the equipment and the service it self. The channels freeze up sometimes and my phone at times wont have dial tones and my internet... thats the worst! I have had At&t out to my home a number of times and they have switched out the equipment and reset the crap over and over. I call and get told the same routine everytime and no matter what the problem start right back up and cant get on the internet. I work from home so its a huge inconvience and also while on the phone with them (my cell) they have my unplugging and re plugging things back and forth which is a hassell to have to move furniture to undo the equipment! A company this big you would think they would have there own service figured out. Now all I get told it sometimes it does that and to just hook a USB cable and run it like that. Well then why am I paying to have wireless!
$250 rebate
Signed-up for Uverse online based on the $250 rebate that was being offered. After endless phone calls that took a tremendous amount of time on hold I was told my rebate had expired. Apparently you were required to go online and redeem the rebate, which of course nobody informs you of until it has expired. Finally reached someone who said they would get my rebate mailed. When it arrived it was for $100. Informed that the other $150 was in the form of discount off of monthly bill, however we have yet to see that.
This is the kind of bait and switch fraud that drives consumers crazy. Will be going back to the dish when my grace period ends and will cancel the internet service and the phone as well. Screw AT&T.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I totally agree. ATT are a bunch of liars. They misled me on installation and the great bundle package. To date, I still have two bills for two different phone lines and a huge Uverse bill. They won't give me credit for switching, I can't use the rebates now because I didn't come over from an internet cable providers such as Comcast, I can't cash in the rebates that I was supposedly going to get for going ahead with the install because the person in retention didn't log it into the computer. If you are thinking about going with this bunch of liars, I would use caution!
complaining helps
I complained to AT&T customer service and reward center rep about a customer service rep lieing to me to get my service, I was informed they could do nothing and the amount of reward listed on att.net/rewardcenter was what I was to get since nothing was listed in the first call I made to get pricing on DSL service. The first customer service rep I spoke to lied to me. I was informed if paid deposit befor day of calling about prices of DSL service I would get a large reward. When I got my reward it was 1/3 of orginal amount I was told. I spoke with reward center 3 times and 2 times was on a 3 way call with customer service. I kept being told that nothing could be done. I then Emailed AT&T customer service about everything, then I received a Email saying they was going to credit my bill for the amount of reward that the customer care rep, ((her name is Tonya Woodworth(watch out for her)) informed me I would get. AT&T will correct problems when they can and with right info on problem. Thank you AT&T..
A NOW HAPPY CUSTOMER
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I have had my phone system at my office for 26 years. When connected and for 23 years my service was with Southwestern Bell - which was a great relationship. When there was a problem with something they were quick to respond and work with me. In about 2005/06 AT&T took over all operations and things have gone steadily downhill. At first it was just annoying calls if the payment was a day or 2 late. It was annoying but I determined to pay closer attention because it was obvious AT&T was going to be much tougher. Things were going relatively ok. My fees continued to rise and I had charges added but they responded to complaints. I finally got fed up with things and cancelled 2 of our phone lines - that were rarely used. I was told this was save me about $100 in charges, taxes, and all the little annoying charges for nothing attached to all phone lines. This was 12/3/08. On 12/19/2009 they somehow changed my relationship and entered into a contract with me (that I didn't sign or authorize) Not only did I now have a contract I didn't sign or authorize but was paying more than I had paid with the other lines. I assumed they were trying to get back at customers cutting back on service. My bills were now almost $100 more than they had been before with the 2 extra lines. I went through everyone at AT&T and finally ended up with their business retention center. (after I threatened to most to Birch) After days and escalated blood pressure they agreed to remove the contract I had not authorized and they assured me that my charges would go down to the earlier agreed amount. On my next bill I was charged several hundred dollars to do an early termination of my contract. They actually charged me $200.00 bucks to cancel the contract I had never asked for or authorized. I am still working with them but feel really cheated and angry and will probably dump their service. In the meantime, I would get an I-phone but won't deal with them and am now looking at Blackberry & other new choices. They could give me the phone for free but I won't ever enter a contract with AT&T again.
After the 2 years of contract at T Mo bile we decided to look for new carrier since we have existing AT&T service at home we decided to try AT&T for our mobile, N connect is their dealer which usually situated in malls, to make the story short we had our phones for $179 each we took the family plan. The manager at the store advice us not to send teh rebates just in case we change our mind. After 2 weeks one of our relatives called at the landline and ask if our mobile are still working, followed by some co-workers and friends, we ner notic etaht because we hardly recieve calls it so timely that its holiday andapproaching chrsitmass makes phones busy for greetings we all knew taht mobile is one of our lifeline, then after we tried to give it at least a few more days to know what i the real problem if its the phone or the network, a few days of observation we found out that ATT has some none working spots at home compared to our previous carried TMobile . on the 25 day we recieved a billing and there were so many charges which is surprising because the ATT manager advice us that as soon as we received the billing we need to come by and see him to adjust the bill, . Since the network is not good for us we decided to return the mobile unit and complain the bill, we end up having a 532 bucks because there were so many hidden charges, i dont know why they are doing this, .That is why there is 30 day trial because when you are not satistfied you can return without any charges on your part and if ever there is any it would not be that much, we expect taht we will be charge by the bill and connection fee, which 153 bucks but it end up $532.00, when we try to call CS OF ATT they said taht they own the number and we should have been informed them taht we re going to transfer the no. why should we have to informed them if we return the phone before 30 days, .i dont see the logic, because informing them that we nee dto transfer the no to other network may jeopardize our existing no, and that no is not from ATT we got that from our previosu carrier TMOBILE, .I hope somebody could help on my appeal, i am sure there were lots of consumer that been victimized by ATT mobile, let us unite and fight fo rthis ATT SCAMS .
Sincerely
Joann and Robert
i complained too and it didn't help. the issue i was faced with was a networking problem with my voicemail. they refused to belive that something on their end happened to my pass code. i complained alright but they just continued to blame me for an ongoing problem. i spent 2 hrs staight talking and complaing to 5 different people and got nowhere. the evidence was on their side and there was little proof on my behalf, we were going by their website which my phone wasn't corresponding with. you just got lucky.
never had the service but still billes and cannot stop it
My friend told me about att uverse so I thought I would give it a shot. I setup an appointment to have it installed. The instalation guy came out on the date promised. They did a check on my wall outlets to see if I had a griounded plug for the equipment. I live in an old house that does not have grounded plugs. They told me that they would have to refuse me service. I said fine because I was having seconed thoughts anyway.
That was it so I thought. A few weeks later a get a bill in the mail for service. I called att&t customer service to explain to them that I never had the service at all. They said don't worry about it they see that I don't have any of their equiptment or service and they would take care of it. No big deal I thought these things happen and it is fixed now. A couple more weeks pased and I got a bill again for service! This has been going on for 5 months now! I just looked at my american express account and guess what? Yes they charged my credit card for the bill and service I never recieved! I was stupid and gave them my credit card on sign up.
I have made atleast 50 phones calls to them over the last few months trying to get this resolved. Every representativetells me that my account shows that is closed but I continue to be beilled for a service I never had! Help! How do I end this nightmare?

We had at&t dsl internet and phone service and direct dish tv service. They told us they'd give us the bundled package. It would cost us $109.00 a month. Well it ending up altogether costing us 177.00 a month even with so called 200.00 rebate.e finally dropped phone and internet service and hooked up with Bright house. They also charge you modem rent $10.00 a month didn't tell us that. They find every little thing to charge you extra for. When we dropped them we called them twice to find out who we sent the modem back to. A few days later we got a program to self load a program in computor to start all over again. The second time we got the run around from this person to that person and got disconnected finally. We called back again and finally a Filippino answered the phone and gave us a e-mail with the shipping label and explained how to and where to sent it by mail to. Finally after much wasted time. I would advise anyone thinking about AT&T forget it. Another thing our so called high speed dsl was super slow and didn't work half the time.
Don't call customer service anymore, they are ### underlings who have no authority and no knowledge of anything except how to waste your time. Go straight for the throat, put them in hot water, and it will be solved as though someone waved a magic wand. Try to document all the times you called them and what dates and if you have the info - who you talked to. File a complaint with the BBB immediately using the $ amount you are disputing, also report them to the PUC Public Utility Commision for this (what they have done with you is far worse than normal). And if you don't see results right away report them to the attorney general of your state. Hope this helps - ATT U-verse has wasted dozens of hours of my time with their service, so I am trying to band together with other victims of their crappy customer service and FIGHT BACK. Hope this helps
cash back reward
AT&T mailed be an offer for "$200 Cash Back when ordering new U-Verse TV U-200 or higher on line. I placed the order, the service was installed However when I went to the AT&T cash back reward center I was told I only qualified for a $50 reward. I called the reward center and was advised that I was only getting a $50 reward and the a monthly credit on my Internet service (a credit that I was already receiving before ordering U-Verse). I still have the original solicitation and it plainly states "Order online & get $200 CASH BACK" absolutly no mention of $50 cash back and a bill credit. BEWARE WHEN RESPONDING TO AT&T CASH BACK OFFERS, THEY ARE MISLEADING.

I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN I CALLED 877/847-7216 AND I WAS ABLE TO GET ALL MY MONEY
lied to to get me as customer
When talking to a customer service rep. about DSL service, with local phone service, she excused herself to talk with supervisor, then she came back and infomed me if I had my deposit paid by end of that business day I would get $150.00 in rewards for taking AT&T service. After getting their service I only got a $50.00 reward, this agent lied to me to get me to sign up that day. I at first informed her I would have to think about it and would call her back. This agent name is Tyia Woodworth, her phone number at AT&T call center where she works is [protected]. She gave me her call back number to inform when my deposit was paid, I called her back to inform my deposit was made and got her voicemail, she never called me back, she knew she lied. I then had to call another agent to inform of getting my deposit paid, he finished setting up getting my local phone and DSL set up to be installed, I still had to speak with 4 more agents to finish getting everything set up for service and getting info I needed.
I feel AT&T should not have their agents lie to get customers, if they would give better service, they would not have to lie.

does not honor advertised promotions
We recently switched over to AT&T Uverse from Time Warner because of all the "special promotions" they were offering. We were supposed to get $275 back in rebates. We met all of the requirements for the rebates but have not received anything. I contacted their promotions department get our rebates and they supposedly took care of everything. 2 days later, I...
Read full review of AT&T and 7 commentsfalse advertising
Last August I upgraded my phone service and added ATT Dish. The representative informed me that I was eligible for two rebates - one for phone service and the other for the Dish. I received paperwork to that effect shortly after switching and I also completed the same rebates online. After several phone calls, the phone service side offered me a different promotion that was even better than the original. The Dish side has been avoiding me after more than half a dozen phone calls. The false advertising to get people to sign up is unbelievable. How do they continue to get away with this?

Hello, my name is Andrew White I wanted to share with you an issue I have encountered after submitting an order on the Premier Accounts website. My fiancé Amanda Martin whose name is on the account due to her discount with the State of Tennessee, and I have felt like we have gotten the run around on many phone calls to both customer care [protected] and Premier Accounts [protected]. Feel free to review notes under account our main number [protected]. I apologize for the lengthy email, I want to try and be as detailed as possible.
My fiancé and I decided to transfer our cell phone service from Verizon Wireless to AT&T after a combined total of 20 years with Verizon. WE made this switch simply for the iphone. We were directed to the AT&T Premier Accounts website because of her discount. We asked every AT&T account coordinator we spoke with if there was a new iphone coming out this summer. We were told each and every time we asked that that there was no new hardware to be released for the iphone! There was no new iphone coming this summer just the OS upgrade to 3.0. So because we believed your customer service coordinators, we felt secure in going ahead and joining AT&T. In light of yesterday’s announcement of the new iphone I feel betrayed by your company. I called both customer service lines yesterday and asked if we could return our iphone that we had already purchased for a credit minus a possible restocking fee and pay the additional amount for the new iphone at the normal 2 year contract price. First of all I was not treated very well either time on the phone by the customer service agents. I understand that I was probably a very busy day for your company. According to your customer service representatives we were 5 days past our return period. I told both of the representatives that we were upset because of the misleading information we were given regarding the release of a new iphone this summer.
I explained that this wasn’t acceptable and felt I was getting the runaround, but my complaints fell on deaf ears, it was like talking to a robot. I understand the iphone is a white hot product at a great price, there is a high demand for this product and it is difficult to fill 1000's of orders a day. We are reasonable people that appreciate honesty and integrity over anything else. Our experience with AT&T has been misleading and frustrating.
Since our first day with AT&T we have had many small problems. The first problem with AT&T occurred when we attempted to port our current wireless numbers. We originally setup our account for two phones on the same account. When we went to port our numbers over to the new phones, we were informed that because of the difference in area codes, we couldn’t have the two phones on the same account. We were forced to separate the accounts until the billing issues have been resolved and they can be combined again, which we were told should happen sometime in the near future. However, the first month’s bill was incorrect and became just one more thing that had to be corrected with AT&T. I understand that this is a simple issue to correct none the less it was an issue that required additional phone calls to your customer service department, and our time and effort to resolve. As you can see the first contact of service with your company has been less than pleasing. It certainly seemed like a lot of trouble for a new customer from a company that promises better customer service than its competitors.
I hope that someone in your company would want to correct the lack trust and competence AT&T has showed to us thus far in our first month of service. I would sincerely appreciate any help you may be to us to resolve this issue.

we have sign contract with AT&T landline for us be able to use DSL with all the plan that suppose to save us some money but it turn out to be a really ugly on and we still have to pay for it dearly for the last 3 years and we have 5 locations! I have been try to contact them for 2 years for them to fix it but go no where. they use "TACTIC" "I have to send to my upper manager" or " I have to contact you back" guess what nothing happen. I believe we suffer with AT&T with lots of money, my dad (the owner) get ready to call our lawyer since I have all the email respond to them (and little reply form them) see we might have to sue them.
They promised me a free installation fee. It was free online at the time anyway, but apparently not over the phone. However, the rep ensures me that "it is okay" and they can still waive that fee when I tried to hang up and order online. So, few months have passed, and I called back wondering about where the refund or reward card is. What do I get?
"sir, we do not offer free installation fee...yadiyada..." Well, After a long argument, they send me $100 reward card (instead of the $150 for installation fee they promised). This is not the first time they lied to me, I signed up for the no contract service online (a rep online ensures me that there wasn't any contract), but after signing up for it, I was told that there is a contract by a rep over the phone. I have the chat transcript, but it's no use, unless I try to sue them I guess. Call again and told them about the chat transcript, the rep impolitely (with upset tone even though I was polite) said "all right, if the chat says it is not, then it is not." That leaves me hanging. I can't decide to cancel it or not cos they can just send me a bill for breaching the contract or whatever. Bottom line: record your chat or phone conversation with them
AT&T is the absolute worst company in the United States. The customer service for this company was unacceptable before I encountered problems with my account and has continued to spiral down ever since. When I first purchased internet service, they sent me to router and it didn't work. I called to have the maintenance man come out and fix the cables. We set an appointment and he was a no show. I called again... he was a no show again. I ended up calling seven times before I finally received a visit from a technician. To my surprise, he had to schedule another type of technician to fix the problem. Upon arrival of my first bill, I was STILL unable to get an internet connection. Finally, after over a month I was able to log onto the internet. Next...Did you know that if you move across state lines you have to start new service first calling one number, then call another number to cancel the old service. Well... I didn't. Apparently I had two accounts for quite some time. So one day, I found out I was being billed for the old service address and new service address as well. I call a few times to rationally speak to someone about removing these changes, but they could never find my account. So instead of fighting it, I requested a statement be delivered to me to pay it off. After waiting for weeks, I never received it. I called back to see about a faxed or emailed statement instead. These guys tell me they are unable to email or fax things. I'm sure this was the case in 1994, but in 2011? Doubtful. The next time I called they must have received their first ever fax machine because they offered to fax a statement... until I gave them the area code. No, their fax machine can't send to Texas. So, to this day, I have not receive the information I've requested. I've cried on the phone several times because of the extreme frustration. It is a terrible thing when you call customer service and they don't even have notes on file as to how many times a customer has to call to get one thing accomplished. As a manager at a call center, I have learned from this experience. I tell my employees, "Put yourself in the customer's shoes and DON'T EVER be like AT&T" For the past year, I've told everyone I know to never use AT&T. I took it to Facebook about six months ago and now as I continue to be absolutely disgusted by the repulsive excuse for customer service they deliver, I am now posting this review on every credible review site I know. Thanks for making my life 100X more difficult, AT&T.
I agree with you 100% AT&T are deceitful bunch of liars and false advertisers
1/15/2010 - I am a business owner who placed a new account order on 1/11/2010. Today, 5 days later the system shows my order is pending? I call and email and do an on line chat. Not only are the customer service people slow but have ZERO resources. Finally after 59mins I was transferred and told that there was a computer error and they did not get all the information needed. AT&T would do nothing to compensate for the error or my time. Just had me give all the information all over again and told me I had to wait 3 days. I think it is so unprofessional and completely unacceptable that AT&T does not educate the customer service deparment. I am SO SORRY I opened an account. Should have stayed with Verizon ! I would not recommend for businesses.
MAN BE CAREFUL AS TO NOT PROVIDING SO MUCH OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AT THIS OR ANY OTHER INTERNET SITE... [PHONE NUMER, NAME, ADDRESS ETC, ETC].. IS BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY THERE ARE LOTS OF SHARKS AND RATS OUTHERE WAITING TO USE THAT INFO FOR WHO KNOWS WHAT! BE CAUTIOUS! AND GOOD LUCK!
After you signed up for their services AT&T always shows their real colors and has a bad attitude towards customer's needs, my best advice is that you Give Them an "ultimatum" in WRITING, ussually 10-30 days is a reasonable time to have them fix your problem... if they do not put their house in order... TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT!
selling used goods as new
I dropped by the AT&T store to purchase a shell protector for my iPhone. When I got home and opened the package I discovered that it wasn't new and was all scratched up. I called to speak to the store manager and he/she wasn't available. I explained the situation and asked that I be called back by the store manager. NO PHONE CALL. I called AT&T customer service and was placed on ENDLESS HOLD. There is no obvious way to submit my complaint in writing to AT&T. So it looks like I'll have to drive 10 miles back to the friggin store to return the product.
Good job AT&T. You destroyed a loyal customer relationship over a $25 purchase. Stupidity reigns at the AT&T store.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I would've just brought it back to the store in the first place. I mean, did you expect them to personally bring one out to your house? 10 miles isn't a big deal. All they would've told you is to bring it to the store and get a new one. Get over it.
terrible product/service
The worse experience ever! (and still not resolved!) Getting the now 'typical' freezing and pixilation on the picture and internet loss for days at a time. I've had the service installed two months ago and the best I've done so far is about 48 hours with trouble free service (which who knows as I actually work 10-12 hours a day, sleep and run errands so am not glued to the TV to see if I'm getting service.) I've had 16 technicians to the house, I've had 2 no-show appointments (the initial install date was a no-show so I probably should have cancelled right there and then.) We (my wife and I) are probably over 60 hours into this and we still don't have service. It has been down for the past 3 days but came up last night for about an hour but was down again this morning. It has actually become comical and I'd like to see them invest more man hours (I was told by one of the probably 20 or so Tier 2 Tech supports that I've spoken with that it costs AT&T around $300.00 each time they send out a truck. They are a joke but I want them to invest some more of their time and money before I will actually cancel them. The techs are clueless that come to my home (except for two senior techs.) The senior techs simply say there's nothing they can do. The clueless techs actually waste 2-3 hours and come up with nothing and only say "This is beyond our training." lol We had one cancel yesterday after we waited 4.5 of their 5 hour window given to us. Good times.
STAY AWAY!

I wrote this on yelp as well but I must voice my concern!
Horrible customer service!
Warning for uverse customers, you should just get a voice recording of your technician saying that there is no service fee because they clearly have a way of charging you with their little "decline to sign" check box and writing any report they see fit, and apparently your word has no merit in your case, so please don't even bother with this company, it's pointless, it's costly and it's just a huge headache!
I called for tech support and asked how much it would cost, and over the phone they said that "they will alert you of how much a specific service will cost and ask you if it's okay before performing it, " I asked the technician when he got here, and there was no charge... One month later a $99 service fee was charged! I'm outraged, called the hotline and they told me that "the technician noted that he told you, and that you declined to sign the bill form, there is nothing we can do, " at this point i'm livid because I was never presented a form to sign and after 2 hours and talking to 3 different people and no when I asked to speak to a supervisor and the response was "they are all busy and will call you back... " I knew this was a ploy to get me off the phone.
I just can't believe how bad my customer service experience was! I work in customer service (And have been for a really long time & also worked at a call center) and this company is just not willing to work with you, im betting this reflects more on how they were trained to treat you! I'm doing my homework on other companies and definitely ending this uverse service, asap!
I hope the uverse pr personnel sees this, this is definitely not the end of my wrath!
Picture freezes, dvr already replaced once after less than one month of service. Tv intermittently loses signal. Telephone and onlive service is based in india. Can't get these idiots to understand what thew problem was. They send out the wrong person to address proble. Much downtime. When I signed up, I was told that I had $220 of rebates coming. After a month and a half and no money seen, I called and found out that no one had arranged to send me anything. I suspect that they were hoping that I would forget the rebate and they would profit even more. This is the worst mistake that I have ever made. I am cancelling att tomorrow and will never use att in any way, shape or form again!
I ordered service. They came to install t.v., internet and transfer telephone service. They did everything except my phone. They said Time Warner did not release my line, but what really happened, confirmed by the service rep at my home, if you change your appointment it cancels another installation. When they finally came to install the phone, they disconnected my t.v. services. The rep came again the next day and had to jump through hoops dealing with his people at ATT Uverse to get it turned back on. At first it appeared my information box went bad. After much work on his part he figured out they disconnected my t.v. services. The good part is I did receive my rebate card. Bad part, I tried using it twice and finally went on line to find out they deleted my card number and it does not exist. So my rebate was eliminated because the t.v. service was disconnected by ATT Uverse. I will be changing very soon. I have spent much of my valuable time that I should bill them for because my time is just as important. Do not sign up for ATT Uverse and if you do, do not change your appointment.
I have been treated so badly by this company it is hard to believe. I have had 4 Technicians out in 5 days and I have spent more than 12 hours on the phone with them. I have been hung up on, placed on holds more then an hour and 45 minutes at several times and have waited several days for a call back by a supervisor. My service is still not working, another technician coming out tomorrow and more phone calls to make because they have charged me $55.00 for their inconvenience! Ha! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I am having problems gaining access to the internet via the Internet explorer.
On several occassion att techs. have came over and work on the problerm. The problem continues as of this date 8-9-12. On 7-1-12 I called the ATT tech support and talked to an STT rep. in the philiphines. She CLEARLY indicated that no work will be done wihtout our approval. She went ahead and did the work withou asking for my approval. Later I received Inv. no. [protected].7112.081404am in the amount o4 $149.00. ASnd she had the nerve (DS752J) to write on the invoice (sent by e-mail) that I had refuysed to sign for the work.
SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR MY APPROVAL., .Request charge be waived.
My router quite Friday night. No phone, no Internet.
Called Saturday morning. Recording tested the line, made appointment for Saturday between 8am and 8pm
Nobody showed up or called. Called Saturday night, recording made appointment for Sunda 8am to 8pm.
I found an ATT by accident. The guy had my address but no idea what the problem was. He tested the OUTSIDE line and said everything OK. Cannot test inside.
Called again. They tell me they'll send an INSIDE technician Monday betwee 4 and 8pm.
This is INCOMPETENT handling of a technical call, and in the end (IF they fix it) without phone for 3 DAYS !
Att Uverse salesman treated my 87 year old father agressively 4/25/11. Salesman in ATT issued parka, father in open door in shirt sleave on cold night. When I intervened by asking for supervisors name, was asked why I was being rude. Father became annoyed and explained because he was wasting his time.
Please do not give these jerks the time of day. If I may, I'd suggest that you keep one of your six year olds scocer participation medals handy and pass it along so that their delicate feelings are not hurt.
I should have known this account was going to be a problem from the first day service was to be connected. My wife received a telephone call from the service person inquiring if she was at the residence for installation. When she advised she was, he indicated he was there, but could not get anyone to the door. Turns out ATT sent him to the residence that I moved from, some 200 miles away.
When I was able to get a service man out for installation, it was just as many of the complaints I have read indicate. He needed to leave to get a part. Then he needed another service tech who handled other issues with installation to come out. This was a new apartment complex specifically wired for ATT Uverse as no other cable options are allowed. Over a week later, and several hours off work, service was finally installed. Then came the 1st bill. Over $100.00 per month higher than what I was quoted.
When this service was enacted, I was promised a $200.00 rebate from ATT for switching from DirectTV. This rebate was to be mailed after I had service with ATT for at least 30 days. I have contacted ATT regarding this issue approximately 10 times, each time being told it had been mailed, and would take approximately 6 weeks to get to me. When I check the ATT Rewards Center website, I learn the rebate was mailed on June 13, 12. When I called ATT again today, I am advised it was reissued on July 4, 2017 and mailed out on July 18, 2017, and that it would take approximately another two (2) weeks to get to me. There have been numerous overbilling issues with this account from inception. Had I not called in April about the billing issues, I would not have learned that although I was promised the rebate, I had to call to request it.
I have printed copies of the website information pertaining to my rebate indicating it was "redeemed" on May 9, 2017 but not mailed until June 13, 2017. When I called again today, I was informed it was reissued on July 4, 2017 and submitted for mailing on July 18, 2017. ATT indicated there was a problem with the address to which it was mailed. Ironically, the address to which it is referring is the same address where I receive my statement and there has been no problem with the statement reaching my residence through the mail.
If you are considering a switch to ATT Uverse, you have been warned. The customer service is the worst I have ever experienced. If you do switch to ATT Uverse, I advise getting a notepad and noting everything you have been promised. I would also make sure the person who you are talking to makes notes on his/her end, and reads them back to you.
att offers rebates fom shotime and starz when you sign up for cable. they tell you to wait 3 months from the insallation then go to their respective websites for 25 dollars each. problem is you must download a form fill it out, along with copies of the first 3 months bills, then mail in for the rebate. att neglects to inform you that you will need the copies of the bills. i ask, how many people save their bills after payment (we all have bank records)?. not to mention, how many people forget alltogether? i wonder what percentage actually end up with their 50 bucks. practices like this just make me angry with corporate america. just give me the fifty up front!
Was promised $350 in rewards for changing from Comcast to att, but now when I checked the att rewards site, it is only submitting $100. The sales rep that made this promise will not return my phone calls to him. His name is Keith Scott. The installer was at my home for 12 hours, the sales rep said it would take 4 hours. I am very disappointed and would not have changed from Comcast if I had suspected that I was being lied to. $100 is not worth the time the installer was at my home, much less the cost for Comcast to set us back up.
scam charges
Since Dec. 22, 2008, I have been trying to get my cable, internet and phone service and billing as to what was promised. As of today [protected] I am being told that the bill will be $17 more per month than I was quoted after various credits given to me by various customer service people for delay in service.
I first was told $110 a month, then with the delay in service I was given a $10 off for 6 months. Then another delay then given $20 off for 6 months and an additional $100 cash back. Then with more problems I was to receive a 3 receiver and movie package, now I am not getting that at all.
That meant from the original $110 a month I was to pay after the promised credits $80.00 a month. Today they tell me it will be $97.
I have been dealing with this company since Dec 22, 2008. That was the orignial date it was to be installed. With all the other problems it was finally Feb 28, 2009 until it was partially installed. Still waiting on the 3 receiver which they now say my credit it no good for it.
How can I have all the other, internet, phone, and 2 receivers, but my credit is not good for a $7 a month box?
I have gone all the way to the executive offices and this is how they are treating their customers. I have dates and names and times of all calls to the company with the credits given to me yet the executive offices are not complying to what their customer service reps have given.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Every day, and very often, outgoing email takes up to seven minutes to actually be sent on its way. U verse claims that it is an Apple problem, not theirs. Apple says, that isn't true. It may be that the U verse server is loaded because customers are downloading movies or other huge amounts of data. Has anyone else experienced this?
I am so disappointed with Att u-verse. We just became customers the 3rd of December. We were watching tv and our tv, telephone, and internet just stopped without reason. We called to find out the problem. Someone on their end cancelled our services without notice in error. We talked, was put on hold, promises were made to help, etc, etc...We were told nothing could be done until Monday to reconnect our service for a new order to be put in to reconnect. So we have to go for a entire weekend without internet, tv, and especially a landline phone. No one could give us an explanation on how the mix up happen nor a way for immediate action. We are new..new customers and should be having problems so soon. Our alarm system is connected to the phone and we have a young child and no one seems to care about this nor they want to. They could easy correct this simple problem if they want to. I will not recommend Att to others and will question if I should continue with the service...
failure to provide services as requested
1. On May 24th, 2009. My wife, Mrs. Iva G. Miller and I visited the AT&T Store at 780 E. Merritt Island Causeway, Merritt Island. FL 32952.
2. We were served by Mr. Cris Fowler, who took our order. We requested that Mrs. Miller’s AT&T GO Phone Account, [protected], be changed to a post-paid account and then, added to my existing AT&T wireless account as an additional line.
3. Mr. Fowler took Mrs. Miller’s Driver’s License and SSN information, but was unable to accomplish what we requested. The explanation he provided was that the account was in a billing cycle and that we would have to call him later in the week. He stated that he would continue trying to work the issue when we explained to him that Mrs. Miller was leaving to visit her family in Bulgaria and needed the phone to work. Mr. Fowler assured us that he would take care of everything and we were to contact him on Thursday, May 28th, to make sure the phone was working.
4. Mrs. Miller Departed for Bulgaria on May 28th, 2009 as scheduled.
5. On the morning of May 28th, I attempted to contact Mr. Fowler, and was not able to contact him. Voicemail was not returned. Later that morning, I again called the ATT Store at Merritt Island and was referred to Mr. Christian Wiedman (SP?).
6. Mr. Wiedman informed me that apparently nothing had been done to effect the request for changing the services that were requested for reasons unknown. He was again not able to add her account to my existing wireless account for unknown reasons, but was able to change Mrs. Miller’s GO Phone to a normal AT&T phone and I was able to reach her to verify that her phone worked. I then thanked Mr. Wiedman and thought the matter had been settled for the time being. I told him that as the phone was now working, that the matter of adding her phone to my account as an extra line would be dealt with upon her return to the US in August.
7. On Saturday, May 30, 2009, I received a telephone call from my wife, stating that she had borrowed her sister’s mobile phone and put her MTEL Bulgarian SIM Card in it to call me because her AT&T phone had stopped working. I told her to go ahead and continue to use the MTEL phone and that I’d try and sort the problem out Monday.
8. On 1 June, I called the AT&T wireless office and was not able to reach either Mr. Fowler or Mr. Wiedman, but did talk to a young lady. She explained that Mrs. Miller’s account was on fraud alert and forwarded me to the Fraud Department.
9. The Gentleman in the fraud department refused to speak with me concerning this issue, saying that FCC regulations prohibited them from speaking with me because my SSN was not on my wife’s account and that Mrs. Miller would have to contact them from Bulgaria to clear up the matter.
10. I explained to him that as her phone did not work, and that her Mother does not have a landline telephone, that was going to be difficult, and that Mrs. Miller did not have a convenient way to contact them as they had blocked her phone. I also told him that Mrs. Miller would not return to the US until 3 August and so we would have to wait until she got back to straighten this mess out.
I’d like to make the following observations:
1. AT&T put the account on fraud for no apparent reason. Mr. Fowler took all the information needed to effect the changes to Mrs. Miller’s account when we visited the store on 24 May.
2. AT&T made no attempt to contact Mrs. Miller either on her phone or either of my phone numbers [protected] or cell number [protected] [changed later to [protected]], even though this information was provided at the time we visited the Store on 24 May, as well as during later conversations with me when I tried and failed to resolve the issue and find out exactly why AT&T put the account on fraud alert. I was told only that they claimed to have called our home telephone number in Rockledge, FL, but as I checked the voicemail before I had the services at our residence terminated and found no messages had been left by AT&T, I am at a loss to figure out why they said this.
3. AT&T could have called Mrs. Miller’s cell phone number [protected] between 24 and 29 May before it was turned off and gotten the information again; they chose not to do so.
4. AT&T billed Mrs. Miller for an account that was only active for 1 full day, with 1 text message and 1 telephone call from me to her phone to verify that it worked. She has not been able to use the phone since.
5. Mrs. Miller is in Bulgaria until the 3rd of August, and will be moving to join me in Huntsville, AL. In the meantime, she will not be able to use her cell phone because AT&T turned it off.
6. I have had to have Mrs. Miller purchase an unlocked cell phone in Bulgaria, using her existing MTEL account. If AT&T wishes to contact her on this line, the number is: 011-359-[protected]. I’m sure that she will be happy to answer any questions AT&T might have.
This is not what I would call “Outstanding Customer Service.” AT&T’s shameful and indifferent handling of this issue has already resulted in my cancelling my DSL, local and long distance telephone service, and satellite service at my FL residence, at a cost to AT&T of over $300 monthly. If AT&T does not rectify the problem with Mrs. Miller’s cell phone, all services will be cancelled because I’m sure that I can get better service from another provider.
In the meantime, as AT&T has failed to deliver the services for which they have charged us $123.99, I am not obligated to pay the bill, and have instead, filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission, the State of Alabama Board of Consumer Affairs, and AARP’s National Consumer Complaints Office.
If you have any questions concerning the above, please contact me at [protected].
Sincerely,
Charles A. Miller

rip off
I was hesitant on purchasing a higher internet speed for the $50.00 reward because I did not have any problems as far as speed was concerned with the old service. The reason for not really wanting it was because I have no job and it would cost $5.00 more per month for the higher speed. However, when the person on the phone told me that I could get a $100.00 reward I told them, yes. Then when I went on the internet to obtain the $100.00 reward and found that it was on for $50.00, then you had to click the box for a 2 year contract in order to get the $50.00, NO WAY! Then to put the icing on the cake it said, VISA CHECK. Does this mean it is NOT a refund that you can apply to the phone bill? This is the only reason I went for the $100.00 is to apply it to the phone bill.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Removal of voice mail services after ONE missed payment on payment agreement plan. Restriction of voice mail to punish consumer. How is checking one's messages, including the ones from AT&T supposed to 'punish the consumer?. 2)AT&T not removing services cancelled by consumer( 900/976 #'s) after multiple requests by customer. Charged a monthly rate of 44.93 dollars! 3) On hold for more tahn 30 minutes when calling customer service to resolve matter and being bounced from one department to another!
The Client's #[protected] that you are referring to. I have never had a Land Line phone number with Account number. My first phone bill with AT&T was $130.50 which has long been paid in full. I have always paid my bills over the web in my account at AT&T.com/
pay bill. I have also paid all phone bills before my due dates. I have never receive a phone bill from AT&T stating that I owe a bill of
$152.41. I have called AT&T Phone Company and talked to a Representative (Miss Jessica). She inform me that as of 11 June 2013 my balance is zero. She told me to call Bay Area Credit Service which I did. After talking to a male Representative, he inform to come
to this website to post my dispute of this situation with AT&T and your company.
YOURS TRULY,

Bay Area Credit Service is a debt collector. It is THEIR responsibility to provide proof that you owe what they claim. I can't understand why they sent you here...No one here can fix this for you. You did your part by contacting AT&T and getting confirmation that you owe nothing. Send Bay Area Credit Service a letter demanding proof of what they claim you owe and proof they even have a legal right to demand anything from you. Send the letter by certified mail with return receipt requested. Type your name at the bottom of the letter. Never sign a letter to a debt collector because your signature could end up on fake documents making your fight much harder...
unfair and fraudulent charges
AT&T U-Verse is trying to collect money for U-Verse equipment installed in the original account which their own service technician took with him following a second installation. Early 2008 I agreed to AT&T U-verse service through a door-to-door sales contractor representing the company. This agreement was based on the promise of a consolidated bill that was to include the U-verse service bundled with my AT&T phone service. After the start of the service it was apparent that I was receiving separate billings. Since that was not what was promised I cancelled the service, but had within the hour talked to a service representative named Tom who was able to help me. The service was continued but under a new account number. This caused new U-verse equipment to be installed. During that second installation their service representative connected the new equipment and verified the service. Upon completion he removed the old initial installed equipment and took it with him when he left. I find out later that the customer is suppose to ship the old equipment back via UPS but no such direction was given at the time. It is this equipment their technician removed that AT&T is trying to bill me for. I have called AT&T U-Verse customer service number at [protected] on several occasions and talked to several people regarding this mistake. The last on May 18, 2009 was a woman named Melody who identified herself as a supervisor. She told me in investigation was pending but that she thought the matter would be resolved. I am writing this because it turns out their response was to send the illegitimate billing to a collection agency. To date this matter is still unresolved and I have since then receive a notice from a collection agency for the amount of the missing equipment.
AT&T U-Verse is trying to bill me for equipment they albeit mistakenly but nonetheless removed from my home and they in fact have possession of through one of their service contractors. I want this billing for this apparent missing equipment which is not legitimate and unjust to be dismissed. Submitted to the Better Business Bureau
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
they will take you to court, the death star is just that. wanna bet one of dick cheney's minions thought this up. hell, even satan isn't as bad as at&t
two different collection agency's
IM PAYING CINGULAR ON A MONTHLY BASIS DUE TO A PLAN I HAD WITH SPRINT BY BILL WAS OF 2000.00 DOLLARS AND YET I PAYED OFF A SPRINT BILL LIKE A YEAR AGO THINKING IT WAS FOR MY TWO PHONES ( WHICH WERE FROM THE SAME PLAN ) AND IM STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAUSE IF I DON'T THEY WILL PUT A JUDGEMENT IN MY CREDIT AND HAVE MY WAGES GARNISH. I WHATS SO UP SETTING TO ME IS THAT I'M STILL GETTING A BILL FROM SPRINT. I THINK THAT THE BILL I PAYED WITH SPRINT WAS FOR ONE PHONE AND THE ONE IM PAYING NOW WITH CINGULAR IS THE OTHER PHONE, WHICH IS VERY DUMB THAT THEY WOULD SERAPATE EACH PHONE WHEN IT WAS A FAMILY PLAN, AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT I'M STILL GETTING BILLED FOR SOMETHING ELSE FROM SPRINT. WHAT I THINK HAPPENED I GOT REALLY SCREWED UP WHEN CINGULAR BECAME SPRINT SOME HOW IT MADE A MESS WITH MY ACCOUNTS CAUSE FOR ONE I HAVE NEVER HAD CINGULAR IN MY LIFE AND I ARGUED WITH THEM ABOUT THIS BILL BEFORE A REALLY STARTED TO PAY FOR IT AND EVENTUALLY THATS WHEN THEY TOLD ME IF I HAD SPRINT AT ONE POINT AND I SAID YES SO, I STARTED PAYING FOR IT. BUT OVERALL THIS IS NOT HELPING ME IN ANYWAY CAUSE I'M STILL GETTING THAT BILL FROM SPRINT IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENCE. I'VE ARGUE WITH BOTH AGENCY'S AND THEY DON'T HELP OUT FOR NOTHING AT PROFFECIONAL COLLECTION CONSULTANT THEY ARE VERY RUDE THEV'E HUNG UP ON ME THEY YELL TOO. I FEEL HELPLESS SOMETIMES I DON'T EVEN WAN'T TO PAY THIS BILL NO MORE JUST CAUSE THEY ARE SO RUDE AND ALSO CAUSE IT MIGHT NOT TAKE AWAY THE OTHER BILL IM STILL RECEIVING

Company Charged me $88O.OO for my equipmant that I had returned 6 month ago (which they acknowldeged). They keep stalling and forgetting that I had returned the equipment in hopes that I will juct forget that they owe me money. I have been calling them monhtly for the past 6 months, they always say they will send me (after whoever I speak with confirms I am owed the money). No check is ever mailed, and everytime I call, I have to reexplain the situation and they have to recheck with their warehouse, confirm they have the equipment and give the the run aound...
This company has done the same thing to my neighbors, i am debating whether or not to hire a lawyer.
Scam! stick with a reputable cable company.
AT&T Fraud ? Interesting. Today I ask myself the same Question about them. My complaint with them is actually small and I think it may have been solved in one phone call. I still wonder though about AT&T customers in general. How many of their customer would notice an extra charge of $5.67. That is what they are charging for a late charge these days.
Because of their DUE DATE and LATE after Date my bill which is paid electronically is always paid 8 to 10 days before the LATE DATE. ALWAYS! Now I ask YOU / AT&T how I can be singled out for a late charge. The bill in question was Paid 10 days ahead of time. Was this an HONEST mistake? I wonder or is it a numbers Game. To sum this up. The Rep from AT&T "suggested" that to avoid another LATE FEE that I go ahead and pay it and wait for Credit.
I paid the bill Minus the late charge. Yes, it is only $5.67 but what is it say times 10, 000 or 20, 000, or more.
Yes, I am suspicious of big companies.
What do you think.
Similar problem. Unfortunately, I do not have the tracking number. This is crap. They didn't even ###ing call me to warn me before filing a collection. My credit is ###ed right now. I'd be really interested in filing a class action.
Received a collections notice a month or more after you confirmed shipment.
2. Received a notice from AT&T claiming that your equipment never arrived.
3. Received a collections notice from AT&T that you could prove false by providing a UPS tracking number
4. Received a collections notice from AT&T that you could not prove false because you do not have a UPS tracking number.
The above statements are repeating. ###ing ATT Uverse. They are real Idiots wasting peopls time
Why is it that at 11:15 a.m. everyday the cable has to download? And if I don't let it, later on during the day it will download anyway weather I'm watching some thing on tv or not.Does it have to do this everyday at the same time and if so why? you can contact me at [protected]. Thank you peggy tippett
ATT HE Sucks. I disconnected service on December 1 of 2007. They still have me active after I sent them 3 copies of my rental lease changes, and many phone calls. Now I have a collections agency. GET A LAWYER!
Tom
I gotta agree. Run a 100 miles to avoid. I'm getting the run-around from the call center. They missed their first appointment to hook me up. They finally come out to hook it up when I'm not there and leave w/ it not working. Calls go round and round. This evening they finally offered to send someone out while I'm at work but want me to wait all day. When I finally said enough - cancel it, they tell you that you owe them. So get this - they want me to pay for a service that has never worked. On top of that I get a attitudal african american woman. I have a "supervisor" who cannot figure out to prorate 10 days of non-working service so she too wants me to pay for a full month. On top of it she won't divulge the managers last name and will not divulge the name of the supervisor over the manager. It is an incredible run-around.
I'm sending them an e-mail in hopes of trying to straighten it out, but there's a principle involved here in not paying for something that's not worked. As the previous suggested. Run from this service unless you absolutely have to use them.
