T-Mobile has kept taking money from me for devices that were already paid for. When I finally switched, they still had the audacity to send me a bill for a remaining balance.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 customer’s concerns are pertaining to their final equipment charges.

After further review of our customer’s account, the final billing statement received by our customer reflected prorated charges for services used prior to cancellation of the account.
On June 25, 2025, our office spoke with our customer regarding this matter and advised them of the above information. Furthermore, we provided them with our contact information should they have any additional questions regarding this matter.

The account was closed with T-Mobile US on 2/14/2025 and a payment was made for the amount of $180.44 which i was advised was the total amount required to close the account, and no other balances would due. T-Mobile US then generated a bill 3 days after the account was closed on 02/17/2025 in the amount of $125.59, they then proceeded to add a $7.00 dollar late charge every month after that. I called T-Mobile on 06/23/2025 and spoke to a representative by the name of Jerun who informed me that the total due at the end of my bill on 02/14/2025 was $493.39. I had previously made payments in the amounts of $156.47 paid on 01/20/2025, $156.48 paid on 01/30/2025 and $180.44 paid on 02/14/2025. These payments total $493.39 which was the total required to close the account. ********************** representatives lied about the amount owed and lied about the amounts due at the time of closure. I don't believe I am responsible to pay this amount and request that T-Mobile waive or delete this payment/debt. I was threatened with collections if this was not resolved.Business Response

We switched to ******* in Dec 2024. We canceled all our lines and transferred them over, and we called T-Mobile multiple times to confirm. The only thing left to pay was a phone balance of around $600, which they said theyd charge to our account and close everything we agreed. Months later, we noticed T-Mobile was still charging us over $120 a month, totaling more than $1,100. We called to find out why. First, they told us to go to a store and get a PIN. We did. Then they said the PIN wasnt enough we had to go back and verify with ID. We did that too. Then a *** told us we had an active line a number weve never used or even seen before. I asked why thered be a line we never requested or activated. She said shed dispute it and call back in 48 hours. She did just to ask if we were sure we wanted to cancel, and warned that if we did, theyd charge us $600 for the phone (which we already paid over with $1,100 in fake charges). I told her we should be refunded, not charged again. She hung up. We called again and reached someone new, who told us to go verify in-store again, even though the last *** said we wouldnt need to. They didnt care and hung up too. Weve been calling every day trying to reach a manager, but every time we ask, they hang up. They just hung up again while Im writing this. This isnt business its extortion. This needs to be resolved or will we will take further actions and *** t mobile for this fraudulent charges. we have tried multiple times to get this resolved with them with no luck. we wait 30 min on hold and as soon as they have to transfer to manager they just hang up the phone on us. we have wasted days trying to resolve this and the stores cant help us either since they say its something we have to do over the phone. this is unacceptable and needs to be resolved asap!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, we have determined the customers concerns are pertaining to a device trade-in.
T-Mobile has confirmed that in December 2024, our customer completed a purchase of a new handset, at which time they traded in an Apple iPhone handset. It should be noted that customers are provided with 30 days to return the trade in, otherwise the fair market value may be reassessed at the time the handset is received. Our records confirm the trade-in device was received in January 2025. Upon inspection of the handset, it was determined to have sustained physical damage, and as such, the trade-in credit amount offered was reduced. Our customer declined the updated offer, and requested the return of their traded in handset.
Please note, at the time of their December 2024 handset purchase and trade-in, our customer agreed to terms which included statements such as You are giving up full ownership rights to the Handset, the sale of Your Handset is final, non-refundable and non-returnable (unless otherwise required by law), and finally, By surrendering Your Handset, You are accepting the Offer Price and have read and agreed to the T-Mobile Device Recovery Program Terms and Conditions. Therefore, we are unable to return their traded in handset.
T-Mobile contacted our customer on June 26, 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.

After wiping my phone and losing access to my T-Mobile account, I visited a ********************** retail store and asked them to close and permanently delete the account. They told me it would take a long time to recover access, and I said I wasnt willing to wait and wanted the account closed instead. I was told it had been taken care of.I moved to ********** after and assumed that was the end of it.Then, on May 5, 2025, I was charged $60 by T-Mobile. That charge is what brought me back to the store a second time, where I explained again that I had already canceled the account weeks earlier. Once again, they told me it was now resolved and that the account would be deleted.Despite that, I am now receiving debt collection notices for further charges on this same accountan account I never used again and explicitly told them to close twice. I never authorized any service or billing after my original cancellation request. T-Mobile ignored my requests, continued charging me, and is now trying to collect money I do not owe.This is a billing and service dispute. I terminated my account in person, was charged afterward anyway, went back to resolve it, and was told it was fixed. Then they sent the account to collections. I believe this is either gross negligence or deliberate fraud.They verbally assured me in persontwicethat the account was closed. But they kept billing me, and now Im being pursued by debt collectors. Ive received no actual resolution, no written confirmation, and no refund.Business Response

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. Please be advised we have made multiple attempts to reach the Customer. Which has been proven unsuccessful. As such, T-Mobile will make every effort to address the customer's concerns within this letter.
T-Mobile regrets any concerns the customer may have regarding the cancelation process and account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, the customers concerns are pertaining their account cancelation and account billing.
After reviewing account our records reflect in April 2025, that the customer visited a retail location attempting to request a temporary port-out PIN and to request a SIM block feature to be removed from the line of service. Our records do not reflect that the customer contacted ************* to request the cancelation of the account. As such, the account continued billing in accordance with the rate plan the customer was subscribed to. In May 2025, the customer returned to the retail location, at which time AutoPay was removed from the account. After the account change was processed, a payment was submitted but was subsequently returned. This return payment resulted in a past due balance on the account which was due immediately. In addition, a returned payment fee was assessed.
In June of 2025 the account was cancelled for non-payment of the account balance. T-Mobile has confirmed that the customer has been billed in accordance with what they subscribed to and therefore it is our position that the balance remains valid and owed. It should be noted, As the account previously remained unpaid, it may have been referred to a third-party agency for pre-collection attempts. Although these agencies are third-party debt collectors, in this capacity as a pre-collection agency, they have not yet reported this delinquency to any credit bureau. Therefore, there should not be any negative information in the customers credit file pertaining to the above-referenced account as of the date of this correspondence.
T-Mobile would like the opportunity to speak with the customer to work together towards an amicable resolution. As such, we have provided them with our contact information should they wish to further discuss this matter.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request this complaint against T-Mobile be closed.

Hi. I cancelled my T-Mobile internet service to upgrade to T-Mobile package of internet and three phone lines. I have been waiting on my refund of $38.50 since then. When I called on 5/29/25, ***** told me I need the PIN number for the cancelled account. I dont have or know that PIN number. She told I would have to go to a T-Mobile store to have them verify me. Which I believe I shouldnt have to do that if they had just sent me check within the ***** business days like they said. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

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 the account, and we appreciate the opportunity to respond. In reviewing this matter, we have determined the customer’s concerns are regarding a refund of the credit balance following the cancellation of the account.
After a thorough review, T-Mobile records confirm that the customer canceled their account in May of 2024, after a payment was remitted. Pursuant to T-Mobile policy, if an account is canceled for over 30 days after final bill with no payment or charge activity, any eligible credit balance reflected on the account may automatically refunded via a prepaid Mastercard via U.S. Mail to the billing address of record. Our records indicate that although the final balance had settled, the refund was not automatically processed.
T-Mobile takes account security seriously and is committed to enhancing the protection of our customers' accounts. As part of this commitment, beginning March 4, 2025, T-Mobile implemented Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for postpaid account verification. This security measure requires customers to verify their identity using two distinct factors, which may include the account PIN/passcode and a one-time PIN sent to their device. If a customer is unable to receive the one-time PIN, they must visit a T-Mobile retail location with a government-issued ID to verify their account before access can be granted.
T-Mobile contacted the customer on July 1, 2025, and addressed their concerns. T-Mobile was able to reach an amicable resolution with our customer. 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.

I opened a T-Mobile account in April 2025. I ordered 4 iphones. I subsequently canceled the account and returned the iphones. I complied with the contract terms by canceling within the 14-day cancelation period. T-Mobile acknowledged I canceled within the stated cancelation period. T-Mobile sent me a refund for the 4-iphones. I received a bill for $138.43. I called on three separate occasions and was told it was an error because I never activated the phones or used T-Mobiles services and canceled within the 14-day cancelation period. However, the bill continued to come in the mail. I called again on 6/23/25 and spoke to Arman in the ***********. I asked him to connect me to a senior manager or a supervisor. He asked me for my social security number to confirm my account. He places me on hold for 20 minutes, returns to the line and disconnects the call. I call again on 6/23/25 and speak to *** in **********. *** indicates to me that they cannot request social security numbers and does not know why ***** asked for my social. *** then proceeds to tell me that I owe the bill because I only returned one phone, then he tells me that I owe for services in November 2024. I challenge his erroneous information and inform him that I returned all 4 phones and received a refund and only expressed interest in T-Mobile in April 2025. *** was stumped and sounded very confused and could not longer do anything more to assist me. *** transferred me to the supervisor *****. At this point, I am exhausted from calling T-Mobile to resolve my issue about this ***** ****. I have been assured it is erroneous.Business Response
