got a email with a bill for $20 over what I've been paying for over a year. Customer service person said I went over my data use. I said can't be. I've used it twice to get emails and that's it. She finally agreed and said she didn't understand what happened. I do not believe that this should go unnoticed and when an overbill occurs consumer cellular should be fined.

Dear Revdex.com,Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respondMr*** began service with us on 1/9/and ended service on 7/16/Here is an itemization of his billing and paymentsCredits were given on 10/19/and as a courtesy I have also
waived the two late fees which lowered the amount owed to $This amount is valid and must be paid by 10am PST on 11/3/or the account will fall back to the collections process

Dear Revdex.com, Thank you for contacting us regarding this complaint and allowing the opportunity to respondMr. *** purchased a phone on 5/19/in the amount of $He then opted to do a phone exchange for a more expensive phone on 5/25/The second phone cost $We
applied an exchange credit in the amount that the first phone cost in good faith that we would receive the original phone and accessories back in like-new condition, so the customer only paid $($53.18-$= $15.96) We received the first phone back on 6/7/however the customer didn’t include the wall charger so the customer was charged for it in the amount of $10.63. We received a credit dispute in the amount of $When we receive a dispute we are required to refund that money to the customer, even if the charges are validWe refunded the money to his card and put it on the account as owedA $late fee was also assessed. 8/11/we received the second phone back as well as the missing charger from the first orderA credit of $was given for the chargerAn additional $was given for the cost of the second phone that was returned$was refunded back to the credit card ending in and $was issued to the account to help cover the account balanceSo at this point he had received credit for the charger and for the amount he paid for phones, with the exception of $in tax that was not refunded. On 8/29/we received another credit dispute in the amount of $Again we refunded this money and since the amount was valid, as we had already refunded this amount previously, it was put back onto the account as owed and a $late fee was assessedIn addition to this, the customer also had an invoice that wasn’t paid in the amount of $for the dates of 7/18/through the date we suspended the account due to non-payment on 7/28/2016. His current balance is $That is $for the credit dispute, $late fee and $for the invoiceThe amounts are validIf the customer would like us to waive the $late fee he will have to drop the credit disputeThis will re-charge his card the $and we will waive the late feeThe invoice is still valid.

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because: Consumer Cellular is failing to account for the distress they caused on Christmas day for my Wife and meMy Wife was not able to use her phone starting from the evening of 12/24/through the evening of 12/27/Three daysThis was not mentioned in Consumer Cellular's responseMy wife is caregiving for her mother and needs phone service at all times
Also, I spent one hour on Christmas Day preparing this complaint, one hour on hold on 12/26/15, and then one hour with a supervisor on 12/26/who went through a variety of alternatives before she could work out an action planThe supervisor called me back to day to verify the action plan, and one minute later I received an automated call instructing me to call backI called back, and that agent had no idea why I was callingConfusion has prevailed over this entire situation
As I stated originally, after my 12/20/inquiry Consumer Cellular indicated they would respond within 24-hoursThey responded in hours, on Christmas EveHad they responded when they said, this entire situation, and the many I had to spend, and especially the three days when my Wife did not have a cell phone, could have been avoided
Their response here does not state the facts, it glosses over the situation and attempts to imply blame on meThe entire communication process of the activation, which is the core of this problem, was initiated by themIt is completely unfair and unreasonable for Consumer Cellular to expect me to incur this kind of treatmentI have been a customer for several years with an outstanding payment recordThis glossing over the matter is entirely insensitive and just plain bad treatment

It was made clear to the customer that we were doing a credit check, prior to the credit check beingprocessedThe customer may dispute the credit check directly with Equifax, if they like
