Breach of Contract???

Hello:   Yup, it’s only $5.00 a month T-Mobile is going to raise your bill if you continue to use a Credit Card.  I don’t care if it was $1.00 a month.  I contracted with T-Mobile to get the $5.00 reduced rate using my Credit Card and I expect them to abide by the contract for the 2 year period.  I wrote my protest letter and mailed it off, waiting for a response.  I’m like some other people.  You never want to give a company access to your debit account or checking account.  The credit card gives you 100% protection!!!  And I definitely don’t want another kind of money account named T-Mobile Money.  A contract is a contract!!!

  • Charging customers $5 per line is a bad policy from the company that entices customers with Rate for Life advertisements. Changing the terms of the $5/line discount is a price increase. I have been T-Mobile customer for almost 6 years and this change on my 7 lines amounts to a $35/month price increase. These were the terms that were signed and I also believe this is a breach of contract. Given T-Mobile’s repeated history of security breaches, changing to any payment method other than credit card is a danger to your assets in the bank account with assets tied to T-Mobile billing. Bad policy, False Advertising.

    I contacted customer service and requested contact information for Executive Complaints.  And getting an address to send a letter was like extracting teeth.

    I am sending a letter and looking for additional timely contact information.  In the mean time, we are looking into changing carriers.  
     

    T-Mobile advertises the rate for life and when I signed up, that included the $5 per line discount with credit card payment as part of the offer.  Changing these terms violates the “Rate For Life” guarantee and is also false advertising.

    The autopay isn't a contracted rate discount but a perk that had it's terms changed.

    I never signed a contract for the autopay discount.

    The only contract you signed with Tmobile is if you bought a phone on EIP. The only contracted Tmobile service plans will be tied to any agreement you made with the purchase of a phone.

    You can leave any time you want.

    It's your rate plan that guarantees not to raise. Autopay is not part of the rate plan.
