I am rejecting this response because: This is ***** ****** working for my sister ****** *****, whereas she's mentally challenged. I misplaced the letter I had received from ***** ******. Last time I spoke with her she wanted me to contact ******** Mastercard to see if the credit check from Shop Quality One had been directed to them. I called & they didn't have anything. So No this claim isn't closed, we can't ever reach anyone at Shop Quality One. No one answers the phone but a machine, you leave a message & no one calls you back. I also called Assurance in *************** & they told me I had to call Shop Quality also. I've been calling for months. I fill out messages on their web site & still nothing. That's why I'm reporting them they are not a legit business, all they have working for them is answering machines I think.
We returned a PCP65 smart phone with a sim card. $69.99 phone, & $10.00 sim card. Order number ASW75788 1/20/25 Date of return was 02/19/25. The package receipt #1Z030R539040045821.About 3-4 days I received a email from Assurance Wireless say Your Return Refund Complete, Order #ASW_75788 Return Status: Return Approved. So I have no idea what I can do next to get this resolved.
I would love it if someone from your office would try this number to Shop Quality & see what happens for yourself. ************ Is the only number I've been given.

I am rejecting this response because: We finally heard from Quality One & they finally let us know that they had sent our credit back to Mastercard back on 3/5/25. All they had to do was send us an email months ago & it would've saved a hole lot of grief for all of us. It was not only rude but very unprofessional way of doing business. I hope this business gets some type of strong reprimand from BBB. I plan on writing a bad review for the things

Five months ago, I changed my phone service to a new carrier. Since that time I have received a number of credit statements in the amount of $31.16. All of these statements have told me to deduct it off my next months bill. Since I closed my account, of course I do not have a bill due. I have called the customer service phone number on two other occasions besides today, and the callers wait time was approximately 1 hour. I chose to leave my name and number and asked for a call back. But I never received ********* I got through to them and spoke to a representative and then to his supervisor, and even though I was able to give them my name, address and account number, I was told they could not get into my account because it is closed and I did not know my six digit pin. Because of they couldnt issue my refund.I was not happy with the supervisor, I wont lie, the fact that I dont remember this number should not stop the people that I was business with from accessing my information on their system. I would like my refund and I will never again be doing business with ********. Id also like to say I did business with Sprint for 11 years prior to them being bought out with T-Mobile and never once had a problem with them. Any help that can be given in getting back this refund would be appreciated. They really need to change their policy as well as far as closing their accounts with negative balances and not automatically refunding that ******** apologies for the pictures, part of this bill got wetBusiness Response

I called and cancelled my services with T-Mobile back in March. I was assured that everything was cancelled, including my smart watch service. In April, I was charged for service on my watch, which I had to call twice for a refund and cancellation on that service (that I was not using). Now, in May, I am being charged a $0.57 charge for supposedly still being enrolled in their auto-pay (which was obviously not cancelled). I just called and was told that they don't ordinarily do refunds for this instance, but they would make a one-time exception. I instructed them to remove my billing info from their systems, and was told that they had done so. The whole situation has left a sour taste in my mouth. I instructed them during my first call, back in March, to cancel everything I was enrolled in with T-Mobile, and verbally verified that I would not be charged subsequently. But now it's 2 months and 4 phone calls later and I am still fighting with them to not charge me each month for a service that I no longer receive.Business Response

T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 5, 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 to this matter. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns pertain to a watch cancellation and their final bill.
After a thorough review, our records confirm the account was active with one voice line, one home internet line, and one watch line. Please be advised the account was enrolled in ******* and was receiving a discount per line as they were enrolled in ******* with an eligible payment method and rate plan. Please note, our records confirm that the voice line and the home internet line were cancelled. However, due to an inadvertent error, the watch line was set to cancel at the end of the following bill cycle which was completed.
Our records confirm that the payment for the bill for the month of March 2025 was remitted via AutoPay in April of 2025. Additionally, our ************* team issued a credit for the bill amount and refunded the payment remitted via AutoPay. Please be advised that when an account is enrolled in ******* and a line is set to cancel, the line does not receive the full AutoPay discount, which is why our customer received a final bill. As the account had a remaining balance, the AutoPay payment was processed, which was then refunded to the customer.
T-Mobile contacted the customer on May 8, 2025, and resolved their concerns. Furthermore, we provided the customer 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.

Over the years it has always been difficult to reach T-Mobile. The communication company that refuses to communicate with it's customers. The only way I have ever been able to contact them is via BBB. About a month ago I finally reached a person with T-Mobile but the customer service *** refused to help me whereas I don't know my 5 digit code. I guess she felt I would just go away. Then I filed a complaint with the BBB whereas that seems to be the only way I can speak to a person at T-Mobile about my account which I feel I am being over charged again. So they refuse to communicate but are sending me text messages or emails wanting payment. Threatening to disconnect service which I must have for medical reasons. The instant they disconnect me this time I will switch back to **** which would most likely be my best move anyway.Business Response

*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 5, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond to this matter. In reviewing this matter, our customers concerns are pertaining to their balance and their account access with our Customer Care.
Our investigation has determined that the customer has been on the same rate plan since activation of the account, and that there were no records reflecting the customer expressed concerns over their billing by contacting Customer Care.
Please be advised, T-Mobile takes account security seriously and is committed to enhancing the protection of our customers' accounts. As part of this commitment, beginning March 4, 2025, T-Mobile implemented Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for postpaid account verification. This security measure requires customers to verify their identity using two distinct factors, which may include the account PIN/passcode, and a one-time PIN sent to their device. If a customer is unable to receive the one-time PIN, they must visit a T-Mobile retail location with a government-issued ID to verify their account before access can be granted. Our review confirmed that our customer has not contacted T-Mobile regarding their account in at least the last six months.
On May 12, 2025, our office contacted the customer and addressed their concerns. Additionally, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.

I signed up with ******** in January of 2025 for the agreed monthly charge of a ***** plan which included as part of the agreement a I-Phone 14. Every month I have had to have lengthy conversations with T-Mobile to get the correct amount on the monthly invoice. The company has, each month, lowered my month bill to the correct amount for February and March. Currently the company wants to charge me more for the plan and also wants me to pay for the phone we agreed would be a I-Phone 14 for no charge, as the promotion to carry my number onto the T-Mobile Plan. Up until today, they have agreed that I was to be charged ***** a month. Today they informed me, regardless of our original agreement and supsquent payments, that my bill would be approximately ***** including charges for the I-Phone 14.Business Response

*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 2, 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 a promotion.
******** regularly offers limited promotional offers. These limited promotional offers often provide customers with additional savings towards the purchase of handsets, tablets, and more. It should be noted that promotional offer values may vary depending on multiple factors such as device trade-in models, activation requirements, and rate plan eligibility.
T-Mobile records confirm that the customer activated a new T-Mobile account with one voice line of service, subscribed to our Essentials 55+ rate plan for $45.00 per month, plus applicable taxes and fees. The customer took advantage of an Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) with the purchase of a new Apple iPhone 14 handset and attempted to take advantage of our Apple Activate ********: $630 off with New Voice Line and Port-In (Apple Activate ********* promotion. Our records reflect that the customers rate plan did not meet the eligibility requirements for this promotion, and as a result, they were not eligible for enrollment. However, T-Mobile systematically evaluates the account and attaches the next best available promotion that the customer qualifies for. This process ensures that customers continue to receive valuable benefits and savings even if their original promotion ends or is no longer applicable. As part of this process, the customer was enrolled in our *****: 50% off with New Voice Line (Apple Activate ********* promotion, as they met the necessary qualifications.
On May 7, 2025, our office contacted the customer to apprise them of our findings, and we reached an amicable resolution. 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.

This month, I noticed that my monthly bill has gone up without any prior notice, consent, or explanation. I reviewed my account thoroughly and found no evidence of new services or authorized changes that would justify this increase. Furthermore, I did not receive any communicationwhether by email, text, or account notificationalerting me to any impending changes in billing.When I contacted T-Mobiles customer service to address the issue, I was either given vague responses or directed to terms that were never properly communicated. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable and appears to be a deceptive business practice.I am requesting that the BBB investigate this matter and ensure that T-Mobile is held accountable for any unethical billing practices. I also request that my billing rate be restored to its original amount ($180/month) and that any unauthorized charges be refunded immediately.Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.Sincerely,****** ********Business Response

Re: Your File Number: 23276080
To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence regarding T-Mobiles recent rate plan monthly recurring charge update.
As costs and inflation continue to rise, in 2024 and 2025, T-Mobile made small adjustments to the pricing of some of its older rate plans for the first time in nearly a decade. On May 22, 2024, T-Mobile notified certain customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge would increase as of their June or July 2024 billing statements. On March 13, 2025, T-Mobile began notifying a separate group of customers enrolled in older rate plans that their plans monthly recurring charge will increase as of their April or May 2025 billing statement. It is important to note that any lines impacted by a monthly rate increase in 2024 that remain on the same rate plan will not see another increase in 2025.
T-Mobile notified all impacted customers, by way of text message, email, and/or direct mail,about the rate increase and how the increase specifically impacts their account, including how much their current rate plan will increase, when to expect the increase, and where they can find more information. In most cases, the rate increase is $5.00 per line. All plan services, benefits, and due dates will remain the same. If any customer is interested in shopping for a new rate plan or would like to review our current rate plan offerings, we encourage them to contact ************* or visit *****************************************.
T-Mobiles long-standing commitment to offering low prices and the best value in wireless will never change. While making any adjustments to plan pricing is difficult, these updates will help us continue offering tremendous value for customers, as well as providing the experiences T-Mobile customers have come to love from us, well into the future.
Regarding these updates, we are aware some customers have inquired about Un-contract and T-Mobiles Price Lock and the difference between the two. First, it is important to note that whether a customer qualifies for Un-contract or Price Lock depends on when the customer activated their account and/or enrolled their already-existing account in a qualifying rate plan. Customers who activated their account before April 28, 2022, are not eligible for Price Lock, as T-Mobile did not begin offering Price Lock until April 28, 2022. Customers with Price Lock were not impacted by the recent rate increases. For more information on Price Lock,please visit our website at *****************************************************************.
Before Price Lock was offered, T-Mobile offered Un-contract. In particular, on January 5, 2017, T-Mobile began offering Un-contract, in which T-Mobile promised that if it ever raised the monthly recurring charge for a covered plan, customers who chose to leave T-Mobile
as a result could have T-Mobile reimburse their last months service charge. That Un-contract promise applies to all customers who activated an account on a qualifying rate plan and/or enrolled in a qualifying rate plan between January 5, 2017, and April 27,2022. Consistent with T-Mobiles Un-contract promise, any such customers impacted by the rate increase can request to have their final months qualifying service charge reimbursed if they choose to cancel service as a result of the increase. Customers simply need to cancel service and request reimbursement within 60 days of the price increase.
Here, our records show that this customer activated their account outside of the Price Lock period. As such, their account is not protected by Price Lock given their account activation date preceded the introduction of Price Lock. Their account, however, is currently eligible for T-Mobiles Un-contract promise. Therefore, our customer may request to have their final months recurring charge reimbursed, should they opt to leave T-Mobile because of the rate increase. The customer just needs to let us know within 60 days of the increase. If they wish to stay with T-Mobile, the account will remain active on their current T-Mobile rate plan.
Based upon the foregoing, we respectfully request that this complaint against T-Mobile be closed. For additional concerns, please contact T-Mobile at ************.
Respectfully,
*****************

Re:Your File Number: 23271944
To Whom It May Concern:
*****************. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated May 1, 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 their account being referred to collections.
After a thorough review, our records indicate that in December of 2023, the customer activated two voice lines of service, which was cancelled for non-payment in January 2025. As the account maintained a past due balance after cancellation and T-Mobiles internal collection efforts were unsuccessful, in March 2025, the account was referred to Credence Resource **********, a third-party collection agency. Our records show that the customer requested bill reprints in March 2025, for the January 2025, February 2025, and March 2025 billing statements, which were sent to the customers address.
In May 2025, our office spoke with the customer and provided them with a partial account credit, which may take up 90 days to be updated with the third-party collection agency and the customers credit file. Please be advised it is T-Mobiles position that the customer has been billed in accordance with their selected rate plan, features, and equipment. Therefore, we consider this debt valid and owed and we may pursue all our legal rights and remedies to collect this balance. If the customer would like to discuss available payment options to resolve the debt, they may contact **************************** at **************.
On May 12, 2025, our office contacted the customer and appraised them of the above information. 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,
