BILL frustration
[ Edited ]

I started uverse internet, received modem but modem didnt work. Called customer service, was told to ship modem back they would ship a new modem. Received new modem took a week calling customer service to finally get working. Received first bill a week later for $268. Called customer service said they received old modem and would ajust my bill and not to send the $100 for first modem. I paid my bill minus the $100 for first modem. Person I talked to was cs rep susie who gave me a ticket # which she said would take care of the first modem charge 1-4-12.  Received an email notice that second bill was ready. It was for $155 including $100 charge for first modem plus $5 fee for late collection.  Called customer service 1-25-12 got steven said he could fix everything and  I should pay $29 instead of the $155. Iam going to send att the $29 on 1-30-12. What has me still confused is myatt still lists my bill at $155. Who in the h-- am I suppose to believe, att billing, att customer service or the elf on the street corner?

BILL frustration

I am on autopay have been for a long time. Today I try and bundle my home phone to the Uverse package. I am told that my account is frozen because I have a bill. This prevents the order to bundle from going through. I asked how can I have a bill when I am on autopay. ATT can deduct what and when they want since I have authorized the charges. They can not explain. Can't explain why I now have a bill on the account without a statement online. Basically I have a charge on the account without detail, I have a hold on the account for a bill that ATT can't explain, I have a bill that ATT can get the funds for at anytime but needs to be paid before I can place an order. Does this appear to one giant mess. I got this information from the customer service representative. Was told I needed to call back later to clear this up. Let me summarize from a customer perspective. I called ATT to upgrade service, was told that they have screwed up my account and can not explain how it got so screwed up. It will take ATT 2 days to clear the screw up. Called back in a couple of days and we might be able to help you. I can only think of one organization with this level of attitude and lack of customer service, Federal Government.

It looks like that elf on the corner must have sprinkled a little lucky faerie dust on you. :smileylol:
