I got lied to by a CSR too. I was double billed and told them I needed a
REFUND. They said they don't do refunds and I would be credited next month.
Not good enough I told her. I went on to say that I'm on a structured income
and if that refund was not available in the next week my rent check would
bounce. She said she put a refund through but a week later, no refund. I
called back and was told that she put in my account that I requested a
credit. It took over three hours and five reps to finally fix the problem
and I got the refund posted to my account the next day. Almost every one I
spoke to told me they don't give refunds... another lie, I got one. If
service like this doesn't stop, I'll be looking for another carrier. In fact
I already did but no other company offers data plans for $10. Everyone I
checked is $40 or more for unlimited data. That's the only reason I'm
staying with Sprint right now. I even went as far to say that if this is not
rectified I'll cancel my account and will refuse to pay the ETF. If they
report it on my credit report I'd dispute it citing breach of contract,
double billing and refusal to compensate in a timely manner for mistakes
made on their behalf.
