I am receiving a monthly auto-draft from my account of $12 although I transferred my phone number to another cell phone company. No one from T-Mobile will tell me what these charges are from or why they have occurred; I have tried to call & used the chat feature. No one can answer my question.Business Response

I am writing to formally dispute and file a complaint regarding a non-return equipment fee that has been incorrectly charged to my T-Mobile Home Internet account and appears to have been sent to collections.The equipment in question was returned several months ago, and I have called T-Mobile multiple times to confirm receipt. Each time, I have been told that the equipment has indeed been received, yet the non-return fee remains on my account and has now been wrongfully reported to a collection agency, potentially impacting my credit.I am deeply frustrated by the lack of resolution and transparency. Despite repeated contact with your customer service department, I have received no clear explanation for:Why this charge was never removed.Why the account was closed without correcting the error.Why it was sold to collections despite having the equipment in your possession.This is an inaccurate debt, and I am requesting immediate action to:1.Correct the error and confirm that no outstanding balance is owed.2.Recall the collection from the agency or notify them that this was a billing mistake.3.Remove any negative credit reporting caused by this issue.Please treat this matter with urgency. If this is not resolved promptly, I will have no choice but to escalate this by filing formal disputes with the ************************************ (****), the ********************************* (***), and the major credit bureaus.I would appreciate written confirmation that the matter has been corrected and that any impact to my credit report will be reverseBusiness Response

To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc. (T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 23, 2025, regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer may have experienced regarding their account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, we have determined the customers concerns are pertaining to a non-return fee.
The customer previously activated a ********************** Home Internet line of service, and at the time of activation, they were provided with a T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway at no cost to them for use with the service. Please note, T-Mobile Home Internet Gateway devices are ********************** property and must be returned within 45 days of cancellation of service to avoid a non-return fee.
In February 2025, the account was cancelled due to non-payment. At the time of cancellation, a prepaid label was sent to the customer via email to return the ********************** Home Internet Gateway device. Regrettably, the Gateway device was not returned within the expected timeframe; as such, a non-return fee was assessed to the account in April 2025.
As the account balance remained outstanding, and T-Mobiles internal collection efforts were unsuccessful, the account was referred to a third-party agency in April 2025. At that time, a one-time collection fee was assessed to the account.
********************** contacted the customer on June 25, 2025, and advised them of the above information. We are pleased to report we have reached an amicable resolution to the customers concerns. Additionally, we provided the customer with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

On or about April the 15th I called to cancel my service with T-Mobile and they told me that would be fine. And they said I missed the service ending by 2 days. And then the next thing I know I was receiving a bill for may. For the whole total month instead of just charging me for 2 days. I really don't believe I need a bill. I should get a bill at all. The total is 62.0 3. They're charging me $7 for late fee. Because I did not pay them. And I've called trying to get this resolved and the representative that I talked to when I called to cancel my service never once told me that I was going to be charged.The second representative that I called after receiving a bill.He apologized for that employee, not knowing the correct thing to tell me.And he said that he would check and have it turned in, so they would know from now on.But that's not good enough to reprimand your employee.What about me getting charged for that complete serviceBusiness Response

After review, our
records show that the customer activated an account via our online self-service.

disruption or delay in onboarding communications.
Our records indicate

MetroPCS is supposed to give me a discount for being over 55 and won't. My original plan included ****** and ****** calling. For the last few months my ****** and ****** calling has not been activated. When I called MetroPCS of course I'm told I'm not entitled to any of these things and in fact if I want them I need to pay more. T-Mobile won't let me switch because it's a says it's an affiliate of MetroPCS although it has better plans and clearly offers an age discount. My plan is supposed to be $45 a month is what I was told in April and it keeps populating at $50 and without my international calling features working.Business Response

My wife went into a T-Mobile store as she needed a new iPhone. She was told our One Plan was not eligible for an upgrade but he could get us a discount on the phone if we switched to a basic 4 line plan (we only need 2 lines as there are only 2 of us in the family) as it would be cheaper overall with the same service. She was skeptical so she had him call myself and he told me the same. Turns out it was not the case at all! Not only by switching was it more expensive as we only received a $15 month discount on the phone but also we did not get intl data which is important given I travel extensively so would need to purchase a $35 pass every time I travel. Plus I would lose a $10 monthly kickback discount. So overall I was totally mislead and ended up with a more expensive plan with less features and 2 lines I did not need than if I just paid full price for the phone with my current plan. In addition, he gave us sync devices which he said were free which we again did not need or want that I now I have to pay for to switch my plan back. I dont want to ascribe malicious motives to the salesperson although I think T-Mobile wants people off of the grandfathered One Plan so it could be related to that. Overall, it was a terrible experience given we then traveled internationally thinking our phones would still work and the did not. In addition, we paid more for that month than we should have and have two sync devices we now have to pay for that we did not want to begin with. I have been a loyal customer of ********************** for over a decade so do not understand why I was mislead and end up with more costs and a lot of hassle. I am seeking a billing adjustment for the ***** that I paid above what I would have been charged without this plan plus the $53.76 that I will now have to pay over the course of two years for these I unwanted sync devices.Business Response

T-Mobile regrets any concerns
our customer may have experienced regarding their account, and we appreciate
the opportunity to respond. In reviewing
this matter, our customer’s concerns pertain to a recent upgrade.
T-Mobile has confirmed that in
June of 2025, our customer visited a retail location and purchased two SyncUP
trackers and a handset under our Equipment Installment Plan (EIP). Additionally,
two SyncUP lines of service and two voice lines of service were activated. The
addition of these lines caused the EIPs for the SyncUP trackers and handset to
qualify for and be enrolled in promotions. The account was also changed from
the ONE Plan (tax-inclusive) to the Essentials 4-Line plan
(tax-exclusive), which does not include the Kickback benefit and
requires purchasing an international data pass for roaming outside of North
America, unlike the ONE Plan that offers unlimited international data in
select countries and Kickback.
In June of 2025, our customer
visited a retail location and returned the SyncUP trackers and handset and the
EIPs were closed. Moreover, the account rate plan was reverted back to the ONE
Plan.
On June 25, 2025, our office

Tmobile installed a temporary international plan on my phone as I was set to travel overseas to ***************. When I arrived to my destination country it turned out my phone did not work and the international coverage did not apply. I was mistakenly told it would work by the ***. I called 4 days in a row to have my phone temporarily unlocked so I can install a digital esim that would work. I kept getting told it would take ***** hours and even had supervisors promise to call and help push this through. I had no way of calling for help or navigating my way if needed. I discovered upon my return home that Tmobile supposedly instituted a new rule of not temporarily unlocking iphones unless they are fully paid off (but only iphones) and this was not communicated to the tech support team. Also, because they made a mistake in telling my prior to my travel their international plan would work in the country I was visiting they should have had the ability to unlock the phone.Business Response

T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to being unable to utilize the service in another country after subscribing to one of our international features, and a Mobile Device Unlock (MDU) request.
After a thorough review, on June 14, 2025, our customer spoke with our ************* about utilizing the service while traveling internationally and added our ****************** Pass on one of the voice lines. Please note, the ****************** Pass provides a set amount of high-speed data for a specified period while traveling in 215+eligible countries and destinations. On June 14, 2025, the customer contacted ************* to report that they were not receiving service in the current country they were visiting.

I was placed on a T-Mobile business account without my knowledge or consent. I do not own a business, and I was never shown what I was agreeing to. And was promised a lower bill or similar bill to what I had previously.I made a payment on June 18 by card as part of a valid payment arrangement. However, per the customer service *** on the phone because I paid more than the EXACT required amount, the system flagged the arrangement as broken and suspended my service anyway.Ive called multiple times and spoken with agents and supervisors, all of whom have said they cannot help, restore service, or provide a case number or do anything to assist. I have no access to my phone, which is my lifeline, and Im medically vulnerable and depend on my phone for my health. Ive done everything I can to resolve this in good ******** requesting:Immediate restoration of my service Full removal of the past due balance caused by the unauthorized business plan Return to a consumer plan T-Mobiles mishandling of my account has put me in a dangerous position. I just want this made right.Business Response

Re: Your File Number: 23501333
To Whom It May Concern:
T-Mobile USA, Inc.(T-Mobile) is in receipt of your correspondence dated June 26, 2025,regarding the account referenced in the above-mentioned file number.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns our customer has regarding the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining to their account activation type and billing.
After a thorough review, T-Mobile confirmed that our customer activated an account, which was inadvertently activated as a business account. Additionally, T-Mobile records confirm that in June 2025, the customer's account carried a past due balance in which the customer established a payment arrangement. Although T-Mobile attempted to draft the scheduled payment it was later returned by the customers financial institution and went unpaid resulting in the suspension of their service in the same month. The customer later remitted a partial payment of the unpaid balance to restore service and was charged the appropriate restoral and late fees.
On June 30, 2025,our office spoke with the customer and informed them of the above-mentioned information and were able to reach an amicable resolution. Furthermore, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.
Very truly yours,
