Consumer Narrative
I was going to switch cell phone companies and wifi to XXXX. Signed up over the phone, they sent me new equipment but the phone numbers had to be ported. I made 3 trips to their store, went to XXXX XXXX XXXX and paid off my phone. Kept trying to get # s ported but ran into so many roadblocks and poor customer service- then was told by some smart XXXX kid I didn't have to go through with it because I hadn't even ported the # s yet- I said, " you're right, I'm staying with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I returned equipment directly to the store, unopened, directly to store manager, XXXX XXXX. This was another 2 hr ordeal that even HE could not get resolved. He wS put on hold and was transferred to 8 different people. He promised me he would work to resolve it when store was not busy. Went back up to the store to show him a bill I got for {$280.00}. He tried to remove that- unable to, then told me his computer said I owed {$680.00} AND I would be sent to collections! For WHAT? Today I received a letter that I have been referred to Convergent Outsourcing for collections {$680.00}. This is after XXXX XXXX, manager, worked on my problem and sent me a screen shot that showed I owed {$0.00}. I also received an email that the equipment was received. I am beyond livid. I am a XXXX I work very hard for Mt $ $ and I'll be XXXX if XXXX is going to EXTORT {$680.00} from me. This started on XX/XX/2021.
