I am literally on the verge of tears and I feel like a complete idiot for not knowing the difference between an Authorized Retailer and a Corporate Location. Almost three weeks ago, I came here and was told that I could get a BOGO if I signed up as a Business Owner and that my bill would be $165. The offer was too good to be true, so I signed up. There were some issues getting my mom's phone since she's located elsewhere but I went in today to get them both activated. I continuously asked for a statement/contract and was told on numerous occasions that what they'd written down was actually my final bill. My friend who actually works for AT&T told me that was fishy and tried to assist with the matter. The associate, Matt, claimed that if he was wrong, that his supervisor, Mike, would pay for both of my phones. Feeling uneasy, I let them activate via telephone my mom's phone and proceeded towards a Corporate Location. There, I spoke with a manager who explained that my bill was actually going to be on or about $200+. I was shocked and saddened. I was so excited to go fro Verizon back to AT&T but now I wish I would have never done this. They printed out my projected bill/contract and I was shocked. They informed me that any location could provide a customer with that information - I thought, why didn't they share this with me? I thanked them and proceeded back to the Authorized Retailer to discuss issues with billing. I had a written paper with a quote of $150, another with $165, an actual print out of $63 or $68, and a print out from corporate showing $180 FOR JUST ONE LINE. I waited patiently until Matt was free and then I proceeded to ask him why I was receiving information from a corporate office that my bill was actually higher than what he quoted me. This was now my 2nd encounter with him today; earlier he was irritable and confrontational. To the point my friend asked him to not be so hostile. His other three co-workers were there during the earlier part of the afternoon and all seemed "hush hush" when we would ask specific questions. This time around he was very abrasive. I simply wanted a printout of what my "contract" was with him. He told me that I had to take his word for it and that he would write it over and over and over again but that he could not print it out. I proceeded to tell him that I was informed by AT&T Headquarters that he could in fact print it out for me and he told me that I didn't understand what systems he had and that his systems were different than all the other locations. He then yelled at me in front of 12 other individuals - YOU CAN EITHER KEEP THE PHONES AND TAKE MY WORD FOR IT OR YOU CAN RETURN THEN PHONES AND GET OUT OF HERE. I told him, I simply want a copy of my agreement with you and he yelled - GO, GET OUT OF HERE. GO TO UPS AND RETURN THE PHONES BUT I'M NOT HELPING YOU. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT OR GET OUT. I have never been treated so poorly a day in my life. I don't understand why I couldn't be provided with my agreement. Now I'm faced with a potential bill that I cannot afford simply because this retailer entered in an agreement with me and then entered something differently in their database. read more
