Dear *****************:
We have received and reviewed your Better Business Bureau complaint. This response is in reference to your correspondence dated November 2, 2022 regarding BBB Case number ******** complaint.
Mr. ****** complaint states that his new phone got defective and was returned for replacement but none was received until he decided to switch service provider. He now wants to have a refund for it.
We spoke with ************** on 11/03/2022, via phone number ********** at 3:08 PM EST, where we confirm to him if he would really prefer the refund instead of getting a replacement device. He opted to be refunded; therefore, we asked him to send in a copy of his receipt which he agreed to send at a later time. On 11/04/2022, we received an e-mail response from ***************** where ************** mentioned that he wants the replacement device instead. An update was done on the replacement ticket ********** to send the phone out. We tried to contact ************** again via phone calls and e-mails on 11/07/2022, 11/08/2022 and 11/11/2022, but with no success, he failed to respond to our calls and e-mails as well. On the other hand, we have confirmed that the replacement device was delivered last 11/10/2022, upon checking the tracking number 1ZY870930200134645.
If ************** should still require assistance, he can contact ************** enter PIN ****. Hours of operation are Monday to Sunday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST.

Attempting to cancel my Straighttalk autopay has been IMPOSSIBLE. I have talked to 2 representatives and a supervisor. I did not have my pin number but I could give the representatives every other piece of information about the account and still could not cancel the account. My only recourse now is to call my credit card company to dispute the charge. Straighttalk claimed they didn't have my email address, and the most recent numbers called were not correct, and they didn't have my credit card on file even though the e-bill came to my email, and the numbers are on the phone. Do not do auto-pay with Straighttalk!Business Response

They took my phone in August and won't replace it like they said they would. I have a tracking number and everything, but It doesn't matter.

It has been over 5 hours. No call! I just went on a NEW chat, almost 3.5 hours after my last phone call and had 3 different chat persons and asked to please RESEND the label for the return to be exchanged on the phone. The 3rd person did it supposedly 2x. Got NOTHING. I asked could it be mailed? Faxed? Was told no. I could request a call back. And, the person left the chat before I could even give a phone number or ask to be transferred. Just hung up the chat! We must have a return label sent immediately!!

Mr. ***** complaint states that he complaint states that he purchased a new phone. However, it was defective and wants to have a replacement. A replacement ticket was already created with ticket number *********** but he was not able to receive a return shipping label so he wants to have a refund instead. He also stated that he was double charged for the amount of $140.6 and was double charged for the amount of $133.57.
We called Mr. ***** but was answered by his wife, ***** on 11/2/2022 to the **********. She was able to confirm that Mr. **** received an e-mail that a refund for the $133.57 and $140.6 was processed already on 1/31/2022, but he was not able to see it on the credit card account. We validate Ms. ***** that we will process a ticket in order to send Mr. **** a return label for the phone to be sent back. However, she also stated that she received an e-mail that something was shipped out. We were able validate that it was a shipping label to process a replacement phone.
Per records, a shipping label was shipped out yesterday 11/1/2022 via *** with tracking number 1Z85W81F0242910175. Instead of e refund, they agreed that they will just return the phone in order to receive a replacement phone. Refer to ticket number **********. In addition, regarding the refund, it was still pending on their credit card since it depends on their Bank Institution, since it might take up until 30 days to reflect on their statement.

I am rejecting this response because:Tracfone charged the credit as was stated in the complaint 2x (once on 10/31 and once on 11/2) for $133.57 and 2x (once on 10/31 and once on 11/2) for $140.60.
Even by their own admission, they ONLY CREDITED 1x for $133.57 and 1x for $140.60. See attached.
They STILL owe a credit for the ($140.60) PLUS ($133.57) = ($274.17) currently.
They finally got us the return label and it was dropped at *** today TRACKING 1Z6980XX9042114250 11/4/22.
So, in addition to requiring the FULL credit for the error of minutes charged without authorization, I await to receive a replacement phone that CAN be activated and the **** ***** for $15 off a $99.99 year minute plan.
Only then, will I authorize the complaint to be closed.
