**THIS IS REGARDING AT&T IN GENERAL; NOT SPECIFICALLY THIS STORE**
Dear Consumer Protection Team,
This is being written to express my extreme frustration with AT&T's business services and the series of unresolved issues I have encountered since transitioning to their network. I initially made the switch from Verizon and Frontier based on a representative's offer of a comprehensive bundle that included free iPhones, two wireless internet routers for our business and home, and a phone for our shop. The proposition seemed appealing, as it promised a lower cost while consolidating all services.
However, since starting the transition on February 17, 2025, I have faced continuous challenges, including repeated technical issues, poor customer support, and confusing billing practices. Below is a timeline of the major issues I have encountered:
- **February 17, 2025**: Transition to AT&T business services began. I was informed that there would be a deposit held until two months of successful payments were made, after which the $1500 deposit would be refunded.
- **February 27, 2025**: I spent over an hour troubleshooting internet issues with technical support, which led to the discovery that a guest line needed to be established to resolve connectivity problems.
- **March 1, 2025**: I spent 32 minutes discussing dropped calls with a representative.
- **March 3, 2025**: Another hour and 18 minutes on the phone with support to troubleshoot further internet issues at our business address.
- **March 17, 2025**: We determined that the router was faulty, and a replacement was promised. However, despite this promise, no replacement arrived.
- **March 29, 2025**: After following up, I was informed that no order had been placed for the replacement router. I was also told that a $500 deposit was required to send a new router, which I refused. After further discussions, I was told the deposit would be waived, but I would need to pay $24.99 in taxes.
- **April 3, 2025**: We received a bill with a "suspension notice" for $1819.69, despite already having made payments of $497.00 on 2/24/25, $384.12 on 2/24/25, and $319.69 on 4/2/25. No statements or invoices were received for these amounts prior to the notice.
- **April 4, 2025**: I spent over two hours on the phone with customer support, yet no resolution was reached. Afterward, I called Wireless Loyalty for Business to cancel our accounts, only to spend another 51 minutes with a representative who could not navigate the issues either.
To date, I have wasted nearly eight hours of my time attempting to resolve these issues, but no satisfactory resolution has been provided. The lack of coherent communication and ineffective customer service have left me no choice but to cancel our accounts and seek services elsewhere.
I am requesting that AT&T be held accountable for these failures, including the erroneous billing practices and the unfulfilled promises made during the sales process. The impact on my business has been significant, and the time spent attempting to resolve these matters has been both frustrating and unproductive.
I hope this issue can be addressed in a timely and satisfactory manner to prevent further inconvenience and financial loss
**I would like to state that my husband went into the Redlands store after I tried to take back my internet router and spoke with the sales team who was able to assist him and direct him in the right direction. This was after they said they could not help; but nonetheless... they did. They were helpful and hopefully there will be some successful steps made after the weekend. read more
