May 1st, 2019: I leased an iPhone 8 and did a contract with t-mobile all through the t-mobile website.
May 14th, 2019: Since I knew that t-mobile gives customers a 14 day grace period to return the products and canceled the contract, I did exactly just that. I went to t-mobile store located inside Rosedale Mall #115, MN and had talked to Lawrence Thompson about returning the phone and terminating the contract. He was very helpful. He called customer service and talked to Jo Rimer. She was put on speaker, so I heard everything. She verified the both of us. Everything seemed to be going well. All I had to do was to return the products and I did this on the same day. Got my refund on 05/22/2019 of $74.22
June 2019: I received a bill from t-mobile saying that i owed them $150 (I can't remember the exact date). I contacted the number that was given to me on the letter 1-888-310-8471 on 06/23/2019. I spoke to a t-mobile rep, he looked at my acct and told me that I can disregard that letter bc my acct was closed already and I shouldn't have been sent that letter. He reassured me that i can disregard the letter, so I did that bc i thought everything was fine.
June 23rd-July 1st,2019: i kept getting calls from this number 612-564-1310.
July 1st: I finally gave them a call on 07/01/2019 and spoke to a debt collector rep. She told me that I owed money to t-mobile. I told her no I do not and then she transferred me to t-mobile. I then spoke to a t-mobile rep, gave her the t-mobile acct number that the debt collector provided me to the t-mobile rep. She couldn't help me even after i told her my story of what happened bc I couldn't provide her my PIN that I supposedly set up with t-mobile, she also didn't know why I was being charged $150. I had asked this rep about collections and she said that "it has not been sent to a collection agency yet but it will soon." She advised me to stop into a t-mobile store bc they can help me resolved this situation. I stopped by this t-mobile store and spoke to Sam X, he was trying to be very helpful but he didn't know why I was being charged. He went on to call customer service, they took a lifetime looking for my acct and figuring out when it was closed and what happened. I found out that my acct was NEVER CLOSED and that's why I was charged $150. They told me I had two options and one of them was to pay it off. I was not about to do that nor did I do it. No free money for you t-mobile. I then asked if this was sent to collections yet (I was pissed tf off at this point). Sam told me the same thing "no but it will soon." Anyways he advised me to go back to the store that I closed my acct at and talk to the person who helped me. NOT TO MENTION THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECORDS OF ME CLOSING THE ACCT OR EVER CALLING. APPARENTLY NO ONE TOOK NOTES. When I got home that day, I received a bill from a collection agency.....
July 2nd, 2019: I went to t-mobile at Rosedale Mall, spoke to Lawrence, and for some odd reason, he pulled up my acct so easily. Showed me that we DID close my acct and he even told me that t-mobile had already SENT it to collections. "are you f*cking kidding me" was what i was thinking. So everything was there but idk why the other employee and customer service had such a fucking hard time figuring that shit out. now things are ALMOST resolved bc i gotta wait until 07/07/2019 to get my name and everything cleared. this has been so ridiculous and inconvenient especially to me but other folks as well JUST because someone in t-mobile decided to not do their damn fucking job. read more
