Re: T Mobile Auto Pay Discount Known Error In System

Nope, a late payment and any penalties would be all on me. Frankly, T-Mobile was my only bill on autopay and solelybecause of the $5discount per line and the level of security paying by credit card provides. I'm not sure if you're advocating linking your bank account for the discount or you are willing to lose the discount by continuing with autopay by credit card.I'm on a fixed income so the $5 discount/line wasimportant to me but not important enough to risk my bank account. In addition, I amproud to say that Ihave always managed to pay my bills on time with no autopays except forT-Mobile. So, I'll just add T-Mobile to my monthly hour sit-down to pay my bills. That would be my piece of mind. Again, to each his own.22Visto1like0ComentariosRe: $10 surcharge for credit card payments
That's fine. You can call itwhat you like. But if I pay by credit card I have not forfeited anything. I will not give T-Mobile my bank account number in exchange for the $5 per line. The repeated security breaches to their systems has proven to me that they cannot be trusted with my banking info. Since I will not get the discount when I pay by credit card, then I will get off autopay and they will not get my payment payment 2 days earlier than my due date. I am only sharing what I have done and how I see things. To each his own.24Visto1like0ComentariosRe: $10 surcharge for credit card payments

But I'd like T-Mobile to feel the money grabbing effect this action will have in the long run. And every little bit hurts.16Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: $10 surcharge for credit card payments

Don't forget to take the autopay option off. Then, go on paying your bill by your due date with your credit card. When you have autopay on, T-Mobile has your money for 2 days before your due date. Now they will not, and I will be paying with my credit card and in so doing, haveanother layer of security to help guard against additional security breaches. Plus, I will still have the cell phone insurance provided by my credit card. I went a step further and filed a complaint with the FCC. The FCC had T-Mobile call me. Though this may not get my discount back, they will find it costlier than they thought. They have had to dedicateresources for the FCC complaints since T-Mobile has hadto contact me twice so far then get back to the FCC, they have lost 2 days of having my money, they don't like the damage to their image that this is costing them (no more uncarrier, just another money grabbing cell company),. And now, the spotlight is on all of their security breaches. The more FCC complaints are filed against T-Mobile, the more personnel they will need to handlethem (and yes, it is the FCC, NOT the FTC). The $5 discount per line will soon be sounding like a great deal for them.13Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: No more auto pay discount? No Customer Service contact?
There has been a discussion where to file with the FCC or FTC. I received a response from the FCC telling me that T-Mobile had to contact me promptly. Said and done. However the rep stated she would contact me the next day, she did not. I will follow up with the FCC regarding the missed T-Mobile follow up. I am not expecting T-Mobile to say, "Sorry, you were right". I am expecting them to be sorry for having to dedicate time and money to answer all of the complaints. One more thing, takethe auto pay option off from your bill and keep on paying by credit card on your due date, not on the auto pay date, which is two days earlier.That way they will not have your money for two days before your due date, earning interest, which was one of the reasons they they could offer$5 per line in the first place. They were also investing less rep time disconnecting and reconnecting services. I have always known that they could try this but I will not make it easy nor cost effective for them. If hundreds or thousands file an FCC complaint, take the auto pay off, and pay by credit card, it will cost them more than the $5 per linethey were paying when "letting" us our credit cards to pay for auto pay.Even if we T-Mobile customers have no grounds for thecomplaint, it will cost them to prove it. So, 1) file the FCC complaint, 2) take the auto pay option off, and 3) keep on paying with your credit card so that you can keep the additional layer of security toprotect your T-Mobile account data.1Ver1like0Comentarios
