      I&#**;ve had 2 accounts with T-Mobile for over 12 years. The accounts were on automatic payment since I opened the accounts but the system did not take the automatic payment for March and April because something needed to be verified. I did not know this until after the fact. I was charged $700 for 2 months payment plus late fees because of this. I didn&#**;t know about the issue until they suspended the line, and I received a phone call saying the bill was past due. I paid the bills and fees to get up to date. Then I requested to get a credit for the late fees I was billed as well as for the discount I was receiving for automatic payments, but I was told they wouldn&#**;t credit my account.

      I joined T-mobile as a new customer in September 2022. I turned in 4 used I-phones and received 4 new ones. I was to be reimbursed over time for the 4 phones. 1 phone they did not immediately send me the return mailing label; after many calls I finally received a mailing label and sent the phone to T-mobile in November. T-mobile has still been charging me every month $33.34 since September for that phone. I have contacted the company over 12 times both in-person and online to get this resolved and have been "guaranteed" it is taken care of, but am still getting charged for this phone.

      T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated April 25, 2023, regarding the above-referenced account.   We regret to hear of **************** concerns, and we welcome the opportunity to address this matter.

      T-Mobile records indicate on September 22, 2022, *********************** took advantage of our Equipment Installment Plan (***) with the purchase of four Apple iPhone 14 handsets.  *********************** was not required to remit a down payment; however, they agreed to pay $180.95 for the taxes on the full retail price.  *********************** then agreed to a series of ************************** the amount of $33.34 each.

      It should be noted that between September 9, 2022, and October 6, 2022, T-Mobile offered our 2022 Apple Trade P32 promotion which allowed to customers to trade in an eligible device for up to $1,000.00 to be paid out via one-time trade-in credit and Recurring Device Credits (RDCs).  The orders for the lines ending ****, ****, and **** were successfully processed as trade-in orders and are receiving monthly trade-in RDCs.  Due to an inadvertent error the order for the line ending in **** was not processed as a trade-in order and as such did not receive the promotional credits.  Our records confirm that we received an Apple iPhone 11 handset that was sent in as a trade-in handset for the line ending in **** in our warehouse on November 5, 2022.

      Upon speaking with *********************** on April 25, 2023, we applied a credit of $599.95 toward the *** on the line ending in **** which revised the *** balance to zero and applied a credit of $200.05 towards the account revising the balance on the account to a credit balance of $17.07. The combined total of these credits came to $800.00 which is what *********************** would have received in promotional credits had the original order been processed as a trade-in order.  T-Mobile regrets any inconvenience to ************************

      Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

      I have t mobile as my phone service and I had a payment arrangement set up with them. I had money in my account for the multiple payments that I knew they were going to take out, which they did, but they took each payment out twice which made my account go negative. Once corrected the extra payments were said to be placed back into my account by ********************** but my bank never received anything and I didnt receive it in my account either. So for the past 3 weeks Ive been going back and forth with T-Mobile and my bank about my missing funds and my spike in my T-Mobile phone bill from $200 to almost $1000!! T-Mobile still hasnt fixed my account. I paid $200 cash in store yesterday to avoid suspension and my phone is turned off today! They blocked my cards and my checking account from payments due to their system mishap which wont allow me to set up another payment arrangement until they get my account figured out and adjusted. They add fees for each line every time service is suspended on anyones line, but still havent fixed my a point or gave back my missing money.

      I have been a T-Mobile customer since April 1, 2023 - we switched from ******* because T-Mobile was offering a device payoff rebate up to $800. On April 3, 2023, I submitted for the device pay-off rebate for a total of $732.50. On April 9, 2023, I received a text message that my rebate was ready and to click a link to claim. I clicked the link and it brought me nowhere. This was the first time I contacted T-Mobile for this issue. When I was finally connected to a customer service rep via SMS chat and they informed me that I needed to check my email Spam folder - I did, and there was nothing. They then told me to wait and see if it showed up within 24 hours - it did not. So I contacted T-Mobile via web chat the next day to let them know that the rebate never was received via email. They told me they would then mail it via **** and to expect it in **** business days. It is now been 3 weeks and I still have not received the rebate neither in email nor via **** mail. The concern is that T-Mobile is making fraudulent advertising claims with these rebates but that they are then avoiding sending to new customers. Further, before filing this complaint I attempted to contact T-Mobile again this morning - their website states that customer service is open 24/7, but then I called their **************** number at ****** and again at 6:31am ET and was told by a recording that they were closed and that they opened at 6:00am ET (I called after they were supposed to be open...). This is another misleading business practice by telling customers you have customer support 24/7 but then not, and then not even being open when you say you have business hours.This has not been the first issue we've contacted T-Mobile for, with unsatisfactory results (no results). It seems internal process is disjointed and inconsistent, and customers support is lacking as a result.

      **************** it is at Zero. Specially when you have financial difficulties. Tmobile has become money hungry to the extent that they do not provide a grace ****** for payment. This employee ******* **** had a careless attitude and poor customer service. I will be switching from TMobile I dont know what I was thinking 8 months ago. They are the worst.!

      T Mobile USA, Inc. (T Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated April 25, 2023, regarding the above-referenced account.  ********************** has confirmed ************************************************ and ******************************* are one and the same.

      T Mobile regrets to hear of ******************************* concerns regarding their recent payment arrangement.  Our records reflect on April 12, 2023, ******************************* established a two-part payment arrangement via www.My.T Mobile.com to be drafted from the payment method provided with the first payment to be made on April 26, 2023, in the amount of $97.31 and the second payment to be made on May 10, 2023, in the amount of $97.31.  It is important to note, once a payment arrangement has been setup, we are unable to change or otherwise modify the agreed upon payments and dates.  Additionally, if a customer defaults on a payment arrangement, collection activity automatically resumes on the account.

      On April 25, 2023, ******************************* removed the payment method from the two-part payment arrangement via www.My.T Mobile.com meaning the payment would need to be manually remitted to satisfy the agreed upon payment arrangement.  Additionally, ******************************* contacted ************* to modify the payment arrangement and they were advised that was not an option.  On April 27, 2023, a payment of $97.31 was remitted which satisfied the first payment of the payment arrangement.

      Good morning T-Mobile,On April 15th, we called 611 number to change our secondary numbers on locals since we moved to *******, and there was no point for us to keep Hawaiian and ***** number. The lady picked up the phone and decided to sell us according to her completely free apple watch with no contract and no catch, at first, we denied the offer since we only called for the reason to change a number and both of us have apple watch already purchased directly from apple, but the lady on the phone insisted - advising its completely free of charge. Short story long, we agreed to receive apple watch so we might be able to gift them to someone in our family. Little did we know, that nothing is free, and there is a contract that she made us sign and immediately charge my credit card of 58$ (that I'm currently disputing ). We would like our account back where it was with no apple watch line. We shipped them back immediately without even opening a box. We are very tired as this isn't a first catch from T-Mobile, we understand that T-Mobile price is cheaper that competitive, however if i have to pay a little more and not dealing with this, I probably would. We ask T-Mobile to fix this issue, wave the contract that was misleadingly sold to us. Otherwise we will have no choice but to port our main numbers. Sincerely,***********************

      Hello, I have a notification on my Credit report stating that I owe a debt collection agency money which is from T-mobile, and it has been sent to collections. The issue here is that I suspended my T-Mobile line in the second half of 2019 and never used it whatsoever since then. I've been overseas since then and had to contact them a few times to extend the suspension in order to keep my number until I get back to the States. My plans to get back to the ** have been deferred several times due to Covid in 2020-2021 and family emergency in 2022.What I don't understand is how and why would I owe them $188 as I never used the service the day I left the US in 2019. I'd truly appreciate if you can assist me resolve this issue and remove the collection from my credit report. T-mobile line associated with this issue : ************ Best Regards,*****************************

      On September 20, 2021, T-Mobile issued a bill credit in the amount of $238.18 as a courtesy, updating the account to a balance of zero.  Additionally, pursuant ************************ request, their line of service ending in **** was seasonally suspended on September 20, 2021, and was scheduled to resume on December 20, 2021.   

      The billing statement dated October 14, 2021, generated with a credit balance in the amount of $42.02.  The billing statement included a seasonal suspend charge in the amount of $9.99 for the billing period of October 14, 2021, through November 13, 2021, and a prorated bill credit in the amount of $52.01 as the account was suspended mid-cycle.  The billing statements dated November 14, 2021, and December 14, 2021, each included a $9.99 seasonal suspend charge for the billing periods of November 14, 2021, through December 13, 2021, and December 14, 2021, through January 13, 2021, respectively.  As such, the billing statement dated December 14, 2021, generated with a credit balance in the amount of $22.04. 
      On December 20, 2021, the account was restored after completing the 90-day seasonal suspend period. 

      The billing statement dated January 14,2022, generated in the amount of $104.97. The billing statement included pro-rated charges for the billing period of December 20, 2021, through January 13, 2022, in the amount of $29.97 as the account was restored mid-cycle.  The billing statement also included monthly access charges, taxes and fees for the billing period of January 14, 2022, through February 13, 2022, in the amount of $75.00.

      On April 26, 2023, our office spoke with ***************************** and as a goodwill gesture we offered a bill credit of $88.50,on the condition that they remit a payment of $100.00.  Furthermore, we informed ***************************** that we would remove the account from third-party collections and request that the collection agency delete any negative information reported to the credit bureaus regarding this debt.

      Subsequently, ***************************** stated that they would remit payments of $50.00 on May 12, 2023, and May 31, 2023.  Once these payments have been received, our office will issue a bill credit for the remaining balance of $88.50 and initiate the process of removing the account from third-party collections. It is important to note that this may take up to 90 days to reflect on ************************ credit report from the date our office issues the bill credit in the amount $88.50.

      Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

      I signed up for a new T-Mobile wireless account on April 16, 2023 under their Keep and Switch rebate promotion. I was told I was eligible for a Mastercard rebaymte up to $800, so I paid off my remaining phone installments with **** in the amount of $775.75. They have admitted they made a mistake and, now told me I am inelible for it, and have only provided me a $145 bill credit. I am requesting the remaining amount that as promised to me.

Please be advised T-Mobiles Keep and Switch offer, allows customers from select carriers who port over to T-Mobile to keep their eligible phone and we'll reimburse them for their remaining device payment plan (up to $800.00) via Virtual Prepaid MasterCard. 

      Our records reflect that ******************* did not qualify for Keep and Switch as they did not meet the port in eligibility requirement for this offer. T-Mobile regrets if ******************* was told otherwise. 

      Nevertheless, on April 21, 2023, ******************* spoke with ************* who agreed as a courtesy to apply a $100.00 account credit for their Keep and Switch concerns. Further, on April 25, 2023, T-Mobile again spoke with ******************* and as a final courtesy, we applied an additional credit of $677.75 for the Keep and Switch offer. These credits total $777.75 and cover the final equipment charges owed to the previous service provider. 

      Upon receipt of Beau Trauts letter from your office, on April 26, 2023, T-Mobile contacted them and confirmed that ******************* is satisfied with the resolution T-Mobile has provided. As such, the account now reflects a credit balance of $762.75 and will be applied to the subsequent billing statements until this credit balance is depleted. 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 **************. 


      Very truly yours,

      To Whom It May Concern:

      T Mobile USA, Inc. (T Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated April 25, 2023, regarding the above-referenced account.

      ********************** regrets to hear of Venturia ******** concerns regarding the outstanding balance on their T Mobile account, which has been referred to a third-party collection agency.  As stated in our correspondence to your office dated January 10, 2023, in relation to file number ********, Venturia ******** account reflects a balance of $3,314.68 which T-Mobile considers to be valid and owed.  The account currently resides with Credence Resource Mgmt, LLC.  

      An offer was extended to Venturia ******* to waive two non-return fees totaling $1,512.44 provided that they remit a payment of $1,802.04 which would result in a zero balance.  Regrettably, Venturia ******* declined the offer and therefore no changes were made.

      Upon speaking with Venturia ******* on April 26, 2023, we advised them of our findings.   Per Venturia ******** request, the above-mentioned correspondence was forwarded to them via email to the email address provided.  Our office again extended the above offer however, Venturia ******* again declined.  Should Venturia ******* reconsider, we ask that they contact our office directly at the number below.  Otherwise, as T-Mobiles position remains unchanged, we recommend Venturia ******* contact Credence Resource Mgmt, LLC at ************** to make arrangement for payment.

      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 **************.

                              Your File No. 19977612
                              T-Mobile Account No. *********

      To Whom It May Concern:

      T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated April 24, 2023,regarding the above-referenced account.   

      T-Mobile regrets to hear of ******************* concerns and we appreciate the opportunity to respond.  T-Mobile records reflect the above account was activated on November 10, 2022, with three lines of voice service ending in ****, ****, and **** which subscribed to the T-Mobile for Business Unlimited Ultimate rate of $150.00 per month for the first two lines and $35.00 per month for the third, to which the line ending in **** receives a $30.00 monthly discount as part of the 2022 Line On ** P2 promotion.  Additionally, a mobile internet line ending in **** was activated and subscribed to the Magenta Business Tablet rate of $65.00 per month and receives a $40.00 Mobile Internet Discount each month.  Further, the account was enrolled in AutoPay to receive a $5.00 per line discount.

      With activation of the account, ******************* accepted an Equipment Installment Plan (***) for a ******* Galaxy S22 handset, intended for use with mobile number ending in ****,and an Apple iPad 9th Gen device, intended for use with mobile number ending in ****.  *** is a payment option that allows eligible customers to purchase handsets by remitting a down payment at the time of purchase, if required, and agreeing to pay the remaining balance in monthly installments.  ******************* was not required to remit a down payment for either device; however, they agreed to pay the taxes on the full retail price of both devices before accepting a series of ************************** the amount of $33.34 for the ******* Galaxy S22 handset and $19.17 for the Apple iPad 9th Gen ************* The purchase of the ******* Galaxy S22 handset ********* for the 2022 ******* Activate P13 promotion in which 24 monthly Recurring Device Credits (RDC) of $33.34 apply to offset the cost of the equipment.  Further, the purchase of the Apple iPad 9th Gen ********* for the *** 2022 Apple iPad Activate P2 promotion, in which 24 monthly *** of $19.17 apply to offset the cost of the equipment.

      On November 10, 2022,******************* placed an order for an Apple iPhone 14 *********** handset with ***.  A $499.99 down payment was required, in addition to the taxes on the full retail price, with an expected monthly cost of $45.84 for 24 months; however, the e-sign agreement was not completed to accept the terms of the ***.  As such, the order was systematically canceled, and the deposit released on November 14, 2022.  On November 16,2022, a replacement order was initiated for the Apple iPhone 14 *********** handset with ***.  ******************* was asked to remit the $499.99 down payment, in addition to the taxes on the full retail price; however, as the e-sign agreement was not completed this order was also canceled on November 20, 2022, and the down payment was released.   

      On December 5, 2022,a voice line of service ending in **** was added to the account via a Change of Responsibility (COR) and the line ending in **** was set to cancel as of December 10, 2022.  As the line ending in **** was receiving the 2022 Line On ** P2 promotion, with cancelation of the line of service the promotion was removed from the account, as a COR does not meet the promotion terms.  

      Further, on December 6, 2022, an order was placed for an Apple iPhone 14 *********** handset, to which ******************* remitted a payment for the full retail value of $1,790.31 with taxes and fees.  Please note, at the time of the purchase of the Apple iPhone 14 *********** handset, T-Mobile offered the 2022 Apple Trade P36 promotion, to which new or existing customers adding a new line of service and trading in their qualifying device could receive up to $800.00 off an Apple iPhone 14 series handset when the new equipment is purchased with ***.  However, as ******************* did not accept an *** for the Apple iPhone 14 *********** handset or trade in a qualifying device, the account was not eligible for the 2022 Apple Trade P36 promotion.  

      On December 23,2022, a voice line ending in **** was added to the account.  The addition of this line of service brought the expected monthly cost for services to $200.00 per month, with continued enrollment in AutoPay, for the four voice lines.  Please note, T-Mobile Business accounts are not eligible for the Magenta *** rate plans.  We regret if ******************* was advised otherwise.    

      T-Mobile records reflect ******************* contacted ************* on January 12, 2023, in dispute of the monthly recurring charges, at which time a credit of $73.56 was applied,revising the account to reflect a balance due of $200.00.  On January 30, 2023, ******************* contacted ************* again in dispute of the balance and a credit of $50.00 was applied, revising the balance due to $150.00 which was paid the same date.  On February 12, 2023, ******************* contacted ************* and a credit of $70.00 was applied, revising the balance due to $160.00 which was paid on February 26, 2023, then on March 16, 2023, ******************* contacted ************* and a credit of $30.00 was applied, revising the balance paid on March 20, 2023, to $160.00.

      On April 25, 2023, ******************* contacted ************* to remit a payment of $344.97 to finalize the *** agreement for the Apple iPad 9th Gen device, and a payment of $599.95 to finalize the *** for the ******* Galaxy S22 handset.  On the same date, the voice lines ending in ****, ****, and **** were transferred to a new provider, and the lines were canceled by T-Mobile.

      Our office spoke with ******************* on April 26, 2023, to review our findings outlined above.  During our contact with *******************, our office gathered their feedback to provide to the retail location and confirmed the account remains active with one line of voice service ending in **** and one line of mobile internet service ending in ****.  T-Mobile regrets any inconvenience to *******************,and we appreciate their feedback regarding their experience.   

      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 ************.
