They were not up front about about returning it costing 35 dollars. they were not up front about activation costing 60 bucks either, they did the whole cell phone pitch i said yeah lets do it then couldn't find my wallet, so i called back, and then they said well there's a 59 dollar activation fee . They had said it was risk free to return the cell phone i had 14 days to decide if i liked it or not.


, and i was guaranteed to love it. I don't love it i hate it took one look at the phone and knew right away because how tiny the buttons are, i'd never be able to use it. , now they're like well it's 35 dollars to return it and the cost of shipping is your responsibility too.

After i told them this was un satisfactory and the company had mis represented it's policies 3 times now, they had the gall to ask if there was any body i'd want to turn the line over to. I told them if i am mad enough to drop all business i have with Atnt over this mis representation, why in gods green earth would i recommend you to any one else or drumb up business for your company by giving this line over to someone?

She said she'd submit a refund claim and it'd take 45 days to hear back ok?

Since they did not clearly state all this up front, and they misrepresented the 14 day "risk free" return policy can i fight them with my bank should they decide, i just have to suck up their mis representation?

If you used a debit account, you can say this is an unwanted/fraudulent transaction and have your bank return the money, then ATT will have to file a claim and fight to get those funds.

You can also report them to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Could write a Ripoff Report with a true account of the situation

Ask to speak to a Manager, and tell them that you will do all these things if they don't refund the money, and that 35 dollars is not worth hours upon hours of their time to deal with contesting the withdrawal on the account as fraudulent.

These may work. Did you use Credit card or Debit?

I gave them a debit card. I did tell the one lady that if they did go ahead and charge me this fee, that i will go to my bank and tell my bank this was not an authorized fee. and fight it through my bank. she just said ok, sorry to hear that. And i chewed them out when i was told shipping costs would be my responcibility and she said well i can give you a pre printed lable if you want. I said yes, it's the least your company can do after all this stress and hassle.

Well , wait for the label, and then send that thing back. Thankfully it's only 35 $ instead of if you where doing it with an Iphone5S, which would cost wayy more and would tie up way more of your funds.

How long ago was the transaction / withdrawal?

I don't have 35 dollars to waste on something they misrepresented so it shouldn't be charged to me at all. 35 dollars isn't so "only" wheny ou need to account for everything you spend, because it all hurts the bottom line if it's wasted .

They haven't billed me yet, i just got the phone saturday, and I just called to cancel today. i dont know if they were going to bill it off my debit card or add it to my account bill. But as soon as they recieve the phone they WILL be billing me for the return of it. and it will take 42 days for them to decide if they will reverse the fee, because i was not appraised of it before i agreed to do a possible contract with them..

I understand money lost sucks... but like i said it could of been an Iphone... if you feel they will bill you for the 35 return fee, dispute it with the bank.

I'm not ATT customer service, merely spending my own time to help you.

They presented you with a contract when purchasing the phone. All of these things are spelled out in the contract. You obviously didn't read it.

No, they didn't. this whole deal went on over the phone, They ran a credit check of my doings with the company, i passed said great we will send you the phone, you have 14 days to look it over. if you don't like it return it. I didn't purchase the phone either, it was free, you just pay the activation fee and the 40 a month.

Should move this post to the "why can't we get new people to post here".

You assume so much... this is why people run from these boards, because people come out shootin instead of asking .

As LittleGirlHeart corrected the mistaken assumption that there was a written contract, that tangent does not need to continue.

Last time NO THEY DID NOT. IT WAS pass credit check, ? good you did. WE SEND PHONE YOU READ CONTRACT IN THE BOX WHEN PHONE GETS THERE DON'T LIKE CANCLE IN 14 DAYS, SIMPLE AS THAT . THERE WAS NOTHING MAILED TO ME OR EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE'D BE FEES OR SHIPPING WAS MY DUTY.

regardless i argued with a manager, and he said his sales reps were wrong, i would not be charged 35 i would be charged the tax.

You're screwed. Read the fine print next time. There's a reason why you are given forms to sign. If you can't be bothered to read the rules then don't yell that you got screwed.

ETA: Even if it was done over the phone, they send you the rules either by email or mail. It's up to you to read the rules and agree or not agree. When ordering by phone you are implying you understand. If you don't then again, that's your problem.

Posts that continued the "should have read your written contract" argument after moderator warning have been removed. We have a rule in P&R that people who ignore staff warnings will receive a three day moderation that will be implemented here as well if necessary.

If you have any questions you may CMail me but do not respond on this thread.
