AT&T Uverse Complaints - Service

AT&T Uverse

Company information:
United States

I applied for the Uverse services from AT&T. I have had cell phone service with them since they first took over Cingular. I have over $200 in cell and data services for my two sons and myself. I found that when I had moved I had an old home phone cell bill so paid that $69 bill that I was told was outstanding in order to get service. I was then told that my credit I have bankruptcy was not good enough for the U-VERSE feature yet they were willing to sell me home services, internet and satellite services. Although my account for cell phone is in good standing and I paid off my debt they refuse service. I asked to lodge a complaint and have been told on 3 separate occasions that a supervisor/manager would call me back. It has been over two weeks now and no one has yet to call me back. I was told there was no online way to make a complaint. I was also told that it's different credit report they run for the other services and that there is no way to make deposits to get service on etc.

Before when it was SBC and Cingular services was very good and always a response back. Since AT&T has taken over services have gone down hill and just because I didn't qualify for one of their offerings I found it inexcusable not to get call back. I will probably start looking for other cell phone services based on this poor representation by the new U-Verse process.

Yea, They did the same thing to me.

THEY NEVER TOLD ME THEY WERE GOING TO RUN A CREDIT REPORT.

I will be complaining to all my state city, county, state and federal offices, until they get fined. (It is illegal to do that!)

I OWN my home! I OWN my car!
Never been late on my phone bill in 4 years, never been late on my cable bill in 4 years.
(Yes, I had a bankruptcy - guess when, 4 years ago).

They have lowered my credit score, by checking my credit WITOUT MY PERMISSION!!!

Not only will I never use their service, I going to switch EVERYTHING over to TWCable.

1.) So, now they are going to lose money.

2.)I am active resident in a 200 unit building who be slamming ATT to every unit owner.

3.) I am a cutting edge tech leader type, Who bought a Mac in Feb. of 1984, who bought a palm pilot in 1994 when they were still made by U.S. Robotics, who bought a ReplayPVR in early 1999...etc. Before anyone even new what it meant. I have many, many customers/ clients...

Note: To ATT -U-Verse marketers piss off one person and you pissed off hundreds.

I too have a bone to pick with AT&T. Shotty service, misleading advertising, piss poor customer service, and a laise-faire attitude about us as a customer. I never had issues with Time Warner and that is where I am headed, back to TW.

I'm pretty frustrated with the whole credit check thing myself. I certainly don't have the glowing credit others do on this thread, but I have never been denied for television service (or any utility of any kind, actually) in my life. In one or two instances, I've had to put down a deposit (which I would be OK with), but never denied completely. It's elitist garbage and very irritating.

My actual story is that my current apartment complex has an exclusivity agreement with Time Warner, and I've suffered through their service issues for months. In June, I actually lodged a complaint with the PUC to complain about not having any other service outside of TW. AT&T responded to me (must've been forwarded to them?) and they started building out in my area. After a month or two, I contact AT&T and they worked with their engineers to finally get me marked as serviceable. I immediately tried to order service, only to be denied because of my credit! I made several calls, and no one was able to tell me who I needed to speak with to make this right. I wrote them a very long, detailed telling of these events, and how poorly I was treated when I was looking for a straight answer about my denial due to my credit (the best I received was that I'd be getting a letter with more detail, but it never came), but I've not received a reply in any form.

More frustrating then the choice to not be allowed to have AT&T service is the complete mystery surrounding it. Isn't there something that can be done?

A salesman just left my house after talking me into trying the AT&T UVerse service for over 30 minutes. He called his service department to setup an install date, and after going threw every bit of information about me, they asked for a credit card because I was high risk. I gave them my Visa debit card which money comes directly from my bank account, and they wouldn't accept it. There was no mention of a credit check. I have had Comcast cable and inet access since, well, forever. If this is how the business model runs for AT&T in the beginning, I could imagine the problems which lie ahead, and I sure wouldn't recommend AT&T service for anyone.

All of these services run credit checks, they arent gonna put up all this equipment in your home if youre a bad risk. All wireless carriers do credit checks as well, but may have different standards.

Dont feel bad, I work for them!!! They call me three times a day wanting me to get the service. Finally I agreed. They ran me through a credit check and told me I was high risk because I filed for bankruptcy three years ago. Since then I am on the road to repair my credit I have two low rate credit cards in which I pay in full every month and a low rate car payment. I pay all of my utilities on time every month not to mention my phone bill (I work for them for heavens sake!!!) I asked why and they said because of the equipment, not that they think I would steal it(hello? they know where to find me!!) then they had the nerve to tell me that the CEO and shareholders don't want to offer this service to people with bad credit. Hello? I AM a shareholder!!! Did I get left off of this vote? I feel that this is discrimination. I told them that credit can be fixed but loyalty cannot. Pretty soon they will be throwing uverse at us. Don't worry, I know first hand... It just makes me mad that they call us wanting us to get this and then embarrass us by running our credit and denying us. I don't think this is the time to be doing this to us given our economy and all.
