AT&T Next Trade In Missing
Original Issue Date: September 21, 2018
Over the past few months I've spent countless hours on the phone with AT&T support in regards to an issue that is still unresolved. I've been missinformed throughout and any chance I had to resolve the issue on my own was lost due to the incompetence of untrained AT&T specialists. I was instructed to disregard charges on my account and lead to believe the device was received, when apparently (according to only half of the specialists) it was not. By the time I was made aware of the device charge my window for retrieving the package from USPS had passed and I was told if the device was there, it would have been sent to dead mail in Atlanta, GA. I have a video recording of an in-store representative speaking on the phone with multiple support departments in which she clearly states that the device is found and once transferred she is told the credit will not be applied because the account was not notated by the previous agent whom we spent over an hour on the phone with (THIS INTERACTION IS RECORDED ON VIDEO)
Below are my records of the responses I received while speaking to the billing, loyalty, customer service and in store representatives:
AT&T Next | Online Ordering | 9/14/2018 | iPhone XS Max Ordered through AT&T Next. |
AT&T Next | Online Ordering | 9/16/2018 | iPhone XS Max Shipped (***) |
AT&T Next | Online Ordering | 9/20/2018 | iPhone XS Max On-Hold (***) |

Loyalty | *** | 1/21/2019 | Transferred to ATS. Agent could not find the bill with the unreturned device charge. Stated the issue would be taken care of if I could have a rep call from in store. |
USPS | In-Store | 1/22/2019 | IF the tracking number was correct it would have shipped IF the tacking number was for Fedex/UPS it would have been given to the proper distributor IF the tracking number was incorrect. It would have been opened for inspection IF I would have come in earlier, there would have been a chance to recover the package (assuming the item was held.) ELSE the item would be sent to dead mail in Atlanta GA The supervisor stated that cameras do not save recording that far back. Tracking numbers are not stored and the only record would be on a receipt if one was given. |
MULTIPLE | In-Store | 1/22/2019 | Explained situation to “Jax”. Employee refused to call support, Stating “We don’t do that”. Attempted to sell me internet at a lower cost with incentivized gift cards to help pay for the device charge. Never called loyalty to resolve the issue. |
Loyalty | *** | 1/24/2019 | Transferred to ATS. Agent claims to have found the device and is given a code from their supervisor to have a credit issued by an in-store representative *** – Instructed to call from the store using this number to receive a credit for the device. No Notation on account. |
MULTIPLE | In-Store | 1/24/2019 |
Tamatha - ATS and loyalty don’t know what the number is.
