I switched five phone lines and purchased three watches from Bug Tussel - authorized agent for AT&T…read moreMonroe WI on 9/22, paying $1,143.36 by card for device taxes, a watch deposit, and one watch in full. Despite confirming the transaction, AT&T processed multiple additional transactions, resulting in my bank's fraud department flagging them and creating significant confusion around my payments. AT&T also created a second "ghost" account in my name, provided little explanation of how the payment system worked, and required me to spend nearly 20 hours over the last 7 days on phone calls, in stores, and resolving issues. Multiple devices and watches were shipped, lost in transit, reordered, and then incorrectly handled; a watch that I had legitimately received and paid for was even flagged by AT&T as stolen. I repeatedly received billing updates and charges that I could not understand or reconcile, and promised receipts were never provided. Customer service calls routinely involved lengthy hold times, including calls lasting 2 hours and 37 minutes, 2 hours and 20 minutes, and 1 hour and 17 minutes. Store and customer-service representatives repeatedly gave conflicting information, were unable to resolve basic account and billing issues, and in some instances were dismissive of my concerns. As of 9/30, despite receiving the remaining watches, I still do not have clear answers regarding my charges, account setup, watch activations, or how the incorrect transactions and devices will be resolved. I am seeking AT&T's assistance in reviewing the entire account, reconciling all charges and payments, correcting the account and device records, resolving the watch issues, and providing a clear explanation and appropriate resolution for the significant time, financial disruption, and inconvenience caused to me.
I would like to speak with the Regional Manager about my full experience and I would like to file a formal complaint with a corporate partner. But those people hide behind their store managers and are unreachable.
