prepaid cancellation refund
i have over $190 remaining in my pre-paid acct. & the money simply disappeared afterwards. I'd have no issue using the remaining toward a purchase of device or some sort, but it just simply disappeared.
This term non-refundable term is a complete scam. The nob-refundable amount should be limited within the billing cycle or 60 days of the cancellation. what if the customer had emergency & had to cancel the service when there is a large amount in the acct?
It clearly states that prepaid funds are non-refundable. It doesn't matter how little or much that is. It's non-refundable.

i'm stating a fact that their pre-paid terms are not fair to the consumer & should be changed, & the terminology non-refundable should've not give them legal rights to take complete access away once the hone line is terminated. it should still be my acct money, what if i could buy data to use for oversea travels without bonding to a sim card? what if i could use temporary internet service or a month3 or 2? This is fair trading/business, but what t-mobile did is scamming & robbing. i said what I said.
nothing takes away the fact that they take away the complete access to your acct balance-cash, without providing any service in order to trade for that remaining money. so its a finely coded scam.

Here's the prepaid term in the fine print. You can take them to arbitration but I don't think it would help.

A scam is deceptive. There is nothing deceptive about saying, all prepaid funds are non-refundable.
the service they are unable to to provide in terms of cancellation, they should’ve not t be able to charge legally. meaning they could not keep that money without having a way for the acct holder to have access to. even i canceled the line, i should be able to have access to the acct 7 the remaining balance, & further make use for it, non-refundable does not mean you can take it away, iy just means the money has to be consumed with in the system , which meaning T-mobile bsout be able to provide me other ways to use the money, like i said, make purchase to a phone or other type of services. the way the money just simply disappeared makes it a scam! please think logically.

WHICH IS WHY IT IS A SCAM its not reasonable! if you charge cancelation fee up to 2 mo, it makes sense, but if people have more than 2mo service fee, its not reasonable to have that charge!
