In February 2020 I went in to this store to get a new phone. I talked to Nashwa. The special that day was that ATT would give you $500 toward a new phone if you traded in an old one. I did that. After I picked out and paid for my $500 part of the phone, Nashwa told me that this deal was actually for two lines and I only had one. She says no worries, she's going to create a fake line for me, and in a week or so, put my iWatch on that line. All would be well.
Well my first bill was around $200. She told me it would be high. My bad for not looking in to that further. The next bill was like, $140 or so if I recall. I looked at that bill very closely and it showed that for two months, I'd been paying for two lines, not one. Additionally, the second, fake line, had a MAKE BELIEVE PHONE ON IT. And, I was paying insurance on both the fake phone and the real one.
So I started calling again. ATT Billing said I had to go to the store. There wasn't anything they could do. I did. Nashwa told me she would fix it, but she didn't. I kept asking and finally she stopped answering me. I moved up the chain of command to Bree. Bree is still a manager at this store. Bree told me she would handle it. She couldn't. Eventually I had to go to the store, pretend to trade in my new phone for a different new phone, and get the newest, latest deal. That deal was they'd pay $300 for the trade in. However, that was at least a plan with one line. So I ate another $200.
The next bill I got was also wrong. Bree had assured me my bill would be $63. I contacted her and again she assured me my next bill would be $63. I can't remember exactly. Maybe one month it was $63. Then they started charging me for my "new phone". I called again. My next bill was $86.
Although I contacted Bree a couple more times, and got no relief, I once again decided to eat that cost and just pay $86 a month for the next 27 months. After all, $86 wasn't that bad really. So I got ripped off. Whatever.
Well, fast forward to my FOURTH bill. IT was $96!!! I contacted the store again and this time I got another manager, Ashley. SHE said she'd fix it and call me back. She did not call. I called to speak to her the next day and a representative said she was with a client and would call me back. 90 minutes later I called her again. She didn't call back. They representative at the store said "She's not here. I don't know where she is.".
I gave up and called ATT billing. Amelia answered this time. She listed to my entire story without interrupting. She was livid, as was her manager. They are filing a formal investigation for that store and its employees. Each person I dealt with, Nashwa, Bree, and Ashley will be investigated.
I did switch plans with Amelia today. It's a 3 GB plan, not what I wanted but, what I can afford. Amelia credited me $100 for the money I spent on the two months of fake lines and fake insurance, and then $20 for the last two months I was "overcharged" - which wasn't really an overcharge it was just over what I'd been promised.
LISTEN FOLKS - DO NOT GO HERE. Don't deal with Nashwa, Bree, or Ashley. Go to another store. read more
