September 2005 I notified At & T to forward my bills to an Elk Grove address effective January 2006. Until January my mail was forwarded to a temporary residential location. Effective January 2006 I received my residential phone bill for a 2nd home in the Tahoe area. Sometime in January of 2007 or possibly December 2006 the bill for that phone did not come to the Elk Grove Address.
I called AT & T on March 5 and went over the problem and was assured that the address would be corrected to Elk Grove and they provided no reason as to why it had stopped coming to the Elk Grove address.
April 28 my husband was at our 2nd home and discovered that the At & T bill for that phone was being sent to the Tahoe address. It appears that the young lady on March 5 never entered an order to change the billing address. In March I paid a forty dollar reconnect fee. My history of payment on this account is excellent. I felt that it was easier to reconnect an pay the fee, than argue who was at fault.
April 30 I spoke with a Tello in customer service and we reviewed the entire time line of events dating back to September of 05. A manager was to follow up within 24 hours and I gave my cell phone as a contact number.
I followed up today, May 7, and now I am told that I will have to pay a $70 deposit and a $19 re-connect fee. I explained that I was told these charges would be waived. The billing department transferred me to a John who confirmed that the deposit and re-connect fee would be waived and could not explain the problems I had encountered with the billing address.
Back to billing department and I am told that no one can waive those fees and deposit and they have no way to transfer me back to John or Tello. I am also told that the billing department service people do not have a supervisor that I could be transferred too.
I have spent hours trying to resolve this situation and since 2005 I took the appropriate steps to ensure my billing would reach me.
I have 3 cell phone accounts with AT&T and have been with them for over 7 years.
My conclusion is that AT&T is not customer service oriented and will not follow through with commitments to credit a customer when the error it theirs.
What are my resources???
