I had to go into a store because we were charged $104 for a full billing cycle when the account was canceled 5 days into the billing cycle. When I requested a breakdown of exactly what those charges were for, the amount due was only $14 and change.The audacity of a company to take $90 extra dollars is astounding. To add insult to injury, when I requested a receipt of the transaction be emailed to me, I was told that they could not because there was no email on file, and that since the account was closed, there was no phone number to send the information to.According to Consumer Protections, I am entitled to a receipt, I am entitled to a written document stating the amount of the remittance, the date, and confirmation that our account has been cancelled, which I was denied. When I requested to speak with someone regarding this issue, I was informed that I needed to write a physical letter sent through **** to a P.O. ******************, **, in order to receive a call back from someone. This is an outrageous response to my request for a receipt of the transaction. I was an account holder for 18 years, and this is the response that I get for my nearly 2 decades of customer loyalty.I had to take time off from work to deal with this issue. I make $25 an hour, and I spent an hour in the store plus the travel time, time I spent on the phone with agents in the past. How does T-Mobile think their time is worth more than mine? They are putting the burden on me to have a satisfactory resolution by expending more of my valuable time to write these reviews, send a written complaint, etc. I do not recommend ******** as a company anymore as the quality of their customer service has obviously gone down. They are no longer the best-rated customer service in the nation for 10 years running.Customer Answer

For a resolution I would like T-Mobile to address in writing why they failed to provide me with a receipt for the refund owed, an explanation for why the money was able to be charged to an expired debit card but the refund has not, or perhaps could not be returned, and how the mistake was made to begin with. I was told the refund would be processed within 24 hours but because of their inability to provide me with any paperwork, I have no way to follow up on the fact that we still have not received the refund. I would also like the account to be reviewed and an explanation for how the account was charged over $100 when he amount due was actually only $14. And lastly I would like an explanation regarding the ***** period for account cancellation. My understanding is the customer has 4 days from the beginning of the billing cycle to cancel without being charged. We were within that timeframe yet the agent on the phone said it was 5 days, which seems like a convenient way to justify charging the account. If it turns out the cancellation was in fact within the ***** period as I believe it to be, I would like the full amount refunded including the prorated amount.
The names on the account were ********* ******* and **** Staciwo and the phone number in question was *****************Business Response

I have called every month Since December ****************************************** by Tmobile claiming I still have a phone that was not returned. Every single call, the customer service *** I spoke with agreed that they do in fact have the returned phone in their possession, but it has not been processed by their warehouse. I just received a letter from a collection agency after I was told for the last 6 months that T-mobile would resolve this issue, and after acknowledging several times that I was correct and in fact do not have any outstanding phones or dollars owed to T-Mobile. Now that this has been sent to collections and will be impacting my credit, IMMEDIATE rectification of this matter by T-Mobile is being demanded. Otherwise, I will pursue damages in Small Claims Court to settle this matter.Business Response

To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 19, 2025,regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to billing.
Our records show that in early December 2024, a replacement handset was ordered for the customers non-working handset. Please be advised in each replacement box, a set of instructions is provided to inform the customers how to return their non-working equipment to avoid being charged a non-return fee. In late December 2024, the customer cancelled service when they ported both of their lines out to another service provider.
The final billing statement dated January 2025, generated, and the customer paid this balance leaving the account with a zero balance. However,our records indicate that we did not receive the non-working equipment. As such, the customer was charged a non-return fee and applicable taxes. A revised final billing statement in February 2025, generated that consisted of the non-return fee plus taxes and fees.
As this balance went unpaid,in early June 2025, the account was referred to a third-party collection agency and the account was assessed a collection fee. In Late June 2025, T-Mobile brought the account to a zero balance. Additionally, T-Mobile removed the account from third-party collections and requested the collection agency to delete any negative information reported to the credit bureaus regarding this debt. Please note it may take up to 90 days for the customers credit report to reflect the change.
On June 24, 2025, our office contacted the customer and advised them of the above. Furthermore, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

Had an account with **********************; however, Sprint sold all accounts to T-Mobile and no contract was made with T-Mobile. T-Mobile stopped honoring Sprint rates so canceled service May 15, 2025 due to up charges and inability to contact T-Mobile by or through their APP.

Continually receiving statements from T-Mobile to include return payment charges and $12.50 plan fee which I never agreed too.

T-Mobile ********. (T-Mobile)is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 18, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns pertain to their account billing. When customers transitioned from ********************** to T-Mobile,their existing Sprint rate plans, monthly recurring cost, and bill due date remained the same. An investigation of the customers last billing statement on the ********************** billing system in December 2022 and their first with T-Mobile in January 2023 reflect identical cost.
On May 15, 2025, the account was cancelled when the two voice lines were ported to another mobile carrier. Pursuant to T-Mobile policy, customers are responsible for all charges through the end of their service term. Accordingly, the account was billed through June 9, 2025. Records confirm the customer remitted payment in full for the balance due; however, the payment was returned unpaid by the customers financial institution and returned to the balance, along with a returned payment fee.
The customers final billing statement reflected the past due balance consisting of the returned payment and returned payment fee, as well as prorated plan charges from the beginning of their billing cycle to the date they ported their numbers from T-Mobile. These are the charges to which the customer refers in their complaint.
On June 19, 2025, our office reached the customer, and we are pleased to report that we reached an amicable resolution. Furthermore, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.

*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 18, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer may have regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to their monthly charges.
Our customer activated their account in June of 2018 with five voice lines of service which subscribed to our **************** for Business rate plan. T-Mobile records reflect that in February of 2025, our customer took advantage of our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) with the purchase of two Apple iPhone handsets. Our customer paid the taxes and fees on the full retail price of both devices and agreed to pay the balance in 24 monthly installments. They also activated two new voice lines of service for use with these devices and completed a rate plan change to our Business Unlimited Advanced rate plan. Additionally, they activated a new Business Internet line of service which subscribed to our Business Internet Unlimited rate plan.
These purchases and activations made our customer eligible for multiple promotions. They were eligible for and automatically enrolled in our Bus Apple Activate ******** promotion for each handset purchased. This offer provided a free eligible iPhone via monthly Recurring Device Credits (RDC) when an eligible handset is purchased on EIP, and a new line of service is activated on a qualifying rate plan. Both handsets are receiving the full monthly RDC for this promotion. Our customer was also eligible for our Line Discount ******** promotion, which provides one voice line free of charge, and our Bus Line Discount ******** which provides a monthly service discount on the Business Internet line of service.
It is the position of T-Mobile that our customer is being accurately billed for the services, equipment and discounts for which their account is eligible.

Complaint: 23483781
I have reviewed the company's response, and although they have made adjustments, I am rejecting this response because I have explicit promises in writing from their representative which outline that my monthly bill would increase $10 per month. it was not until I received the response from their Executive Resolution team on June 19th to be told that I am in fact not eligible for the promotions that was promised to me by their representative via email. Their representative made promises which I believe T-Mobile should be honoring, regardless of their system limitations.I have received the promised $500 gift cards in the form of a credit - this is satisfactory.
I have been promised a credit for late fees on my account that were assessed due to the significant increase and impact to my monthly recurring fees - this is satisfactory.
I was told that although their representative's promises based on her audit of cost-savings that I would have on my account would result in a monthly increase of $10 per month and this could not be honored. While I find this unsatisfactory, I expectthe company at least to honor the price for the months impacted while I have spent numerous hours on the phone with telephone representatives and the original. Sales Account Manager to correct. Although the company will not agree to honor future months, I wish to be credited the overage amounts of my monthly recurring bills for the months impacted until this point. As a courtesy, I am receiving a recurring 20% discount for future months only.
T-Mobile should be honoring any promotions that their representatives are promising. I have this in very detailed email correspondence confirming multiple times that my bill would only increase approximately $10 per month, not $120 per month. While I am willing to accept that they will not honor future months up to this point, I am not willing to accept paying their egregious increase during the timeframe that lead to this complaint. This was not what I was promised and not what I expect of a service provider. There is no accountability by ******** and this is a deceptive business practice that needs to be further investigated. I should not be at the point to have to negotiate something less than what was promised, although I've expressed that I will. The remaining condition is as listed above, to honor the $10 increase for the months of February, ****** ****** **** and June. I believe I should be credited for those months, although I agree to pay the full amount (less 20% MRC discount) for any future month.

I am rejecting this response because:I am writing to formally express my profound dissatisfaction and concern regarding the handling of my account and the most recent communication I have received. The response provided appears to be both inaccurate and dismissive of the substantive concerns I have raised, and fails to reflect the facts of the matter as documented.
According to information provided by the Executive Resolution Specialist, the Sales Account Manager who advised mebased on a professional audit and recommendationerroneously offered a promotional plan for which I was allegedly ineligible. It must be noted that this error originated entirely from T-Mobile, and not from any misrepresentation or misunderstanding on my part. I have retained written documentation, including an email thread in which the promotion and my eligibility were confirmed multiple times by T-Mobile representatives.
Additionally, my account was removed from the auto-pay program in April following a significant and unexpected increase in my monthly billing. This action was taken at the direction of a T-Mobile representative in the context of ongoing unresolved account issues. As a direct result of this change, I was rendered ineligible for the auto-pay discount, further increasing my monthly charges. The chain of causation is clear, and I maintain that I acted in good faith, relying on the guidance of T-Mobile personnel.
Moreover, during a subsequent review of my account by another T-Mobile representative, I was informed that I was being billed for two separate home internet accounts. It was determined that this resulted from a failure by T-Mobile to properly execute a service upgrade, which instead resulted in the unauthorized addition of a second internet account. One of these accounts was ultimately canceled by ********, confirming the error originated from within their organization.
In regard to communication attempts, I specifically requested a call from the Executive Resolution Specialist on Friday, July 11th at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. The call was not received until 4:29 PM, at which point I was unavailable due to a prior commitment. I returned the call promptly at 4:36 PM and left a voicemail. Shortly thereafter, I noticed that I had received an email at 4:09 PM Easter Time, which I did not respond to as I had already made the return call and left a message. Therefore, any suggestion that T-Mobile was unable to reach me or that I failed to respond is misleading and unsupported by the timeline of events.
These issues, when taken together, reflect a pattern of internal mismanagement and negligence by T-Mobile representatives, resulting in financial harm, inconvenience, and a significant loss of trust. The fundamental issue remains unchanged: I was assuredboth verbally and in writingthat the changes to my plan would result in no more than a $10 monthly increase, which I accepted on the basis of professional advice from T-Mobile staff. That assurance has not been honored.
The proposed resolutions to date fail to adequately address the cumulative impact of these errors or to restore my account to the terms and conditions under which I agreed. While I acknowledge the partial efforts made toward resolution, I must emphasize that they fall short of resolving the matter in full and do not represent a fair or acceptable outcome.
I respectfully urge T-Mobile to reconsider its position, accept accountability for the missteps outlined above, and take prompt corrective action to fully and fairly rectify this situation.Sincerely,

Finally, we issued an account credit of $550.00, updating the balance to $11.95 at that time.
At this time, we have reviewed the billing statements and found that the account was charged according to the plan selections, line activations, and relevant taxes and fees. Several credits have previously been applied to the account, including the $550.00 credit mentioned above along with the ongoing 20% discount on monthly rate plan for the paid voice lines following ****** Pantaleos feedback.
Although T-Mobile may schedule a follow-up with a customer at specific times, we understand that there may be unforeseen delays that could impact these scheduled times, and we apologize for any inconvenience ****** ******** may have experienced. Additionally, it has been acknowledged that the account was removed from ******* in April 2025, resulting in the forfeiture of the AutoPay discount and the assessment of late fees. These outcomes occurred following customer service interactions pertaining to outstanding billing questions and account troubleshooting. Additionally, a business internet line was canceled after ****** Pantaleos request, this was addressed through service cancellation and credits.
We understand ****** Pantaleos dissatisfaction with the level of support received, including issues with accessibility of email records and breakdowns in timely follow-up from the Executive Resolution team. Regarding the asserted price increase, T-Mobile recognizes ****** Pantaleos position that they were promised in writing a $10.00 monthly increase following the addition of lines/devices. However, after thorough investigation, we determined that the system-based promotions and plan eligibility criteria did not fully align with what was represented to them. While our office has applied credits and discounts on the above-mentioned dates and ****** ******** has accepted them as an amicable resolution, it is our position this matter has been fully resolved.
Nevertheless, as an extended effort to amicably resolve ****** Pantaleos concerns, our office would like to offer a final one-time $50.00 account credit in lieu of the $10.00 credit ****** ******** is seeking for the months of February 2025 through June 2025. Should ****** ******** wish to accept this offer, we ask that they contact our office no later than August 1, 2025 at the number listed below. T-Mobile regrets any inconvenience to ****** ********.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me at ************.

I am rejecting this response because:Please note that I am not requesting a one-time $10.00 credit, nor do I consider the $50.00 credit offered by T-Mobile to constitute a fair or acceptable resolution to the matter at hand.
As represented by *** *********, a Sales Account Manager for T-Mobile, I was informed that the increase to my monthly recurring charges would be approximately $10.00 per month. I agreed to the proposed changes based on this representation. However, contrary to that assurance, my monthly bill increased by approximately $120.00, which is materially inconsistent with the agreement and constitutes a significant overcharge.
I am requesting that T-Mobile honor the originally quoted $10.00 monthly increase for each of the billing periods from February through June 2025. Prior to the accepted promotion, my account was charged an average of $330.00 per month, rather than the expected amount of approximately $340.00, which reflects the $10.00 increase as initially agreed.
Further, it is concerning that despite multiple documented attempts to resolve this matter directly with T-Mobile's customer service department beginning in February 2025, no action was taken until I filed a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. This delay in resolutionspanning over five monthsdemonstrates a failure to address a known issue in a timely and responsible manner.
Accordingly, I respectfully request that T-Mobile issue the appropriate adjustments to my account by recalculating the monthly charges in accordance with the $10.00 increase originally promised. The overcharges stemming from the months of February, ****** ****** **** and June 2025 should be reconciled and credited accordingly. This request is made in good faith and in the expectation that T-Mobile will act to correct what appears to be a breach of trust and a failure to uphold accurate sales and billing practices.
False or misleading representations, especially those tied to promotional offers, should not be borne by the customer.Sincerely,

On 4/16 I switched to tmobile for internet tablet and phone. I did so because it was advertised that a 300$ rebate would be given for switching to home internet. This was advertised online and confirmed by their own sales team. Originally I was told the rebate would take 3-5 weeks to come in. Its been well beyond 5 weeks and everytime I reach out Im met with a shifting timeline. 3-5 weeks became 5-7, which became 7-10, which became a max of 10 weeks after service was active for 60 days. I cannot get a straight answer regarding when I will be given the rebate and honestly I doubt I ever will. The only thing Im asking for is the 300$ rebate that I was promised. I have reached out many times and each time Im required to provide a stranger access to my account only to be given a shifting timeline and explanation. Its been well beyond 5 weeks and I am seeking the 300$ rebate that was promised to entice me to switch to their internet.Business Response

On or about 5/8/25, I met with a T-Mobile representative, ******** ********, at the store on ******* ** in ********, ********, inquiring about changing my cell phone service. At that time, Ms. ******** answered my questions about the cost of T-Mobile's cell phone service for seniors. I was advised, which was confirmed in writing, that I could reduce costs further by also trying the T-Mobile internet service for a two week (14-day) trial period, after which time I would not be billed should I decide to cancel the service. I tried the service but my husband wanted to stay with ******* cell and internet service, despite the additional costs in doing so. On May 15th, I cancelled the internet service and returned the T-Mobile equipment. I have emails from T-Mobile acknowledging the cancellation of the internet service and the equipment return.On or about 6/9/25, I received a bill from T-Mobile acknowledging my cancellation of their service, but also stating "that we have not yet received payment on your outstanding balance of $55.00." The bill references a California Debt Collection License #******** and an 888 phone number for the **************************** for any questions.I contacted the phone number provided, and spoke with a representative named *** about the fact that I do not owe T-Mobile anything, as I'd cancelled the service and returned any T-Mobile equipment within the trial period. *** told me she couldn't help me unless I provided the pin number for my account, which I did not know. She suggested I go on the T-Mobile app to change the password pin if I had forgotten it. And I told her that I no longer had the T-Mobile app. I asked to speak with her supervisor which she refused to do. I asked her if I could speak to someone in the ****** which she told me was not possible even though the bill referenced a California debt collection license number. She insisted that she could not help me. I emailed Ms. ******** and never received a reply.Business Response

Re: Your File Number: 23469840
To Whom It May Concern:
*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 14, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to our home internet Test Drive promotion.
Upon investigation of this concern, T-Mobile records confirmed our customer activated a home internet line in May of 2025. Please note, the home internet line qualified for our Test Drive promotion. As part of our Test Drive promotion, for a limited time, new Home Internet customers on a qualifying plan are eligible to Test Drive the service for 15 days worry free. Customers who cancel the internet line within the 15-day Test Drive period will receive a full credit for the monthly service.
Further review confirmed our customer received a bill statement for the full amount of the home internet line in May of 2025. However, our customer contacted T-Mobile in May of 2025, and canceled their service during the Test Drive promotional period. It is important to note, it can take up to 60 days for all credits to be applied for the Test Drive promotion. Our records indicate our customer was sent a revised statement in June of 2025, that applied a prorated credit from the date of cancelation through the end of their billing cycle, leaving a revised balance from the date of activation through the date of cancelation. Furthermore, in June of 2025, a credit was applied to the account for the remaining balance owed, which will reflect on the final billing statement that will produce in July of 2025.
Our office contacted our customer on June 17, 2025. Our customer was informed a credit has been applied to their account and a revised billing statement will be sent in July of 2025, confirming their balance owed is zero. Additionally, our customer was informed their account has not been referred to a third-party collection agency, and there will be no negative reporting to the credit bureaus regarding their T-Mobile account.
Furthermore, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Very truly yours,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me based on what was represented. I do need to note for accuracy, however, that as of June 17th I did not receive a revised bill reflecting any credits. Assuming the July bill shows a zero balance, and my credit rating is not affected, as represented by ******** in my phone conversation with ******* ****** today, my concerns will be satisfactorily resolved. I appreciated Mr. ******** professionalism. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
