RE: Receiving Notice of Termination from MetroPCS

Also Sent to: Braxton.[protected]@t-mobile.com on 10/4/18

I "Jagjit saini" DBA Auburn check cashing & wireless since 2005 at this same location. My business offered MetroPCS services plus check cashing, Payday loans, money orders, western union etc. etc.

In February 2018, I decided to get rid of all the check cashing services & just keep this store as wireless only. I took the bullet proof wall down, painted metro purple colors on the walls, ordered equipment from Palmer (approved by MetroPCS), new floor, New channel letters storefront sign & within 3 weeks it was turned in to nice & great looking store. I started getting a lot of compliments from customers about the improvements.

After all the hard work done, I received a notice from MetroPCS (see attachment) saying I won't be able to provide metro services anymore after 120 days. I've been MetroPCS dealer at this same location from last 13 years & it really shocked me. we provide the best customer service here & you have no idea how many customers will be pissed off if you terminate this location. My customers don't know yet about this situation but I'm going to tell them soon because I don't want to surprise them when the time comes.

After being a dealer for such a long time, providing best customer service, spending around $17000 few months ago for remodeling, don't you think it's wrong? I asked metro rep Kathryn Henson million times in last 10 years that I would like to open another MetroPCS store in auburn city, but she told me every time that MetroPCS don't want another dealer in Auburn. Guess what happened 2 years ago? New MetroPCS store was opened within 1 mile from my location & without my knowledge. I should've been given the first chance to open another store in the same city. As soon as I heard about opening of new MetroPCS store I called Kate (Kathryn Henson) but response was "I'm sorry I totally forgot about you & it's too late now". I can tolerate opening another store around me but It's hard to swallow of being closed your own store.

My numbers of selling phones are almost doubled since I convert it to exclusive metro
(6 months ago) compare to the numbers past 12 years & I even told Mr. Mosney & kate via
E-mail (see attachment) then I told them during our meeting, but the answer was:

"sorry, we can't move forward regardless of anything & we don't even need to explain anything to you because metro contract reads we can give 120 days' notice anytime to each other".

I'm not pointing any fingers, but I heard that the New MetroPCS Dealer (in auburn) has very close relation with MetroPCS corporate managers (in Folsom, CA) & he (New MetroPCS Dealer) told a lot of customers almost a year ago that soon he will be the only one sell metro in Auburn which mean other stores will be closed soon & it started to happen.

At the end, I want to know what did I do wrong which caused the termination? I asked the same question to Mr. Andrew Mosney (Director, sales & Distribution) when I arranged a meeting with him few months ago, but he had no answer for it.

Before terminating my contract, for your satisfaction, you should do a survey by calling few random Auburn city or Grass valley customers & ask them "which store has the best customer service & which store they like to go?". I bet you 8/10 would prefer dry creek road location due to great customer service & been here forever. Matter of fact, while I was typing this letter I told 2 customers (who been coming here since 2007) that I probably won't see them again next month due to termination, they got pissed off & called MetroPCS customer service(while in the store) to complain and talked to them for almost 2 hours today, asking NOT to close this location.

I only own one MetroPCS store & I'm here every day, there is a big difference of working employee or owner operated & other 2 stores in Auburn are being operated by employees, you can confirm with local metro rep.

FYI : customers coming from grass valley city which is 25 miles away, this location is the closest to them but they still complain being too far from grass valley.
termination would lead them to go ever further.

Finally, it's your decision. I don't know I'm sending this E-mail to the right person, if NOT then please reply me back with correct E-mail or forward it to whoever it belongs. I don't have much time left before termination because I spent 3 months asking & begging local corporate, but nothing happened.

I bought my phone 2 months ago from Metro Pcs 3310 S. Nellis Las Vegas Nevada 89122, 3 months ago at the time I already had a Samsung J3 Prime and just wanted to reconnect my service. My phone number had only been down little over a month.
The sales girl told me it would be more expensive to reconnect my phone, plus I would have to get a new #...Granted she never did or would say exactly how much it would cost to turn phone back on.
Instead she talked me into purchasing another J3 which I didn't want or need. Got a new # and asked her don't u want my id and put my address in computer? How bout a pin # so I can access my account.
She insisted I did NOT NEED to do that in store and could do all those things online at home..
Wrong! 2 months went by and I couldn't figure out what the hell was the problem when it came time to pay my bill. Couldn't access account...No PIN.
3 days ago time to pay bill again.. this time I called customer service, which is crap as well. HALF of the reps you can't even understand nor can they communicate or understand your problem either.
The rep on the phone repeatedly asked me for my zip code. In her broken English. I told her at least 5 times ..she kept saying NO THAT AIN'T RIGHT...
I told her well I don't have a pin. I DID NOT set my security questions to the one that it keeps asking me...
I told her all's I wanted to do was pay my bill.
Oh well I'll be glad to take your info and charge your credit card along with another 5$ processing fee. [censored].
I told her thanks but I ain't paying a penny more than I have to.
When all was said and done she told me I had to return to a local store to set my pin and show them my Id for address change.

Omfg!
Wait it gets better
The following day I arrived at Pcs store 15 mins before closing..
I ride a scooter and did not bother locking it. Thought i would be in and out..
There was only 1 guy in front of me .. 2 sales girls. One on the phone doing what ever.. the other helping the customer.
She said it's gonna be a while before she could get to me...I told her what i needed to do...
She did not respond
Instead she rushed out from behind the counter to the front door with a set of keys.

6 more people jammed in the store as she SHUT AND LOCKED THE DOOR BEHIND HER. Locking US ALL IN!
WHAT THE HELL!
She didn't say [censored] to.anyone just took it upon herself that EVERYONE WAS STAYING LIKE IT OR NOT!.
The other people that came in when she locked us in asked her hey what are u doing. ?
She ignored them ad well

10 mins went by.. I can't see my scooter from inside the store.
The rep never even looked up to acknowledge anyone!
I interrupted her point blank and said I'm sorry but you are going to Have to unlock this door and let me out.. Told her my scooter was unlocked. This is a crappy neighborhood. Homeless people hanging out every where u turn.
By the time I got out of that store I had to rush home take a shower get ready for work..
And Still MY PROBLEM REMAINED UNSOLVED.
10-4-18.
3 pm. One more try at the store for pin.
I swear I'm gonna rip that girls head off!
I told her I needed a pin.. Why didn't she give me one when I bought the phone 3 months ago. same girl btw..
Told her the issues I have been having every month trying to pay my bill online

The only thing she said was.
Did you want to pay your bill now ?
I said HELL NO.. I did that 4 days ago without a pin and online. That I refused to pay any processing fees or crap. .
She needs UPPER MANAGEMENT TO MAKE A HOUSE CALL ON HER [censored]

The store in Pittsbugh PA Brookline neighborhood to be exact has its hours listed online 10am to 8pm. Went up there today at 7pm and was turned away! Very very upset about this considering I spent money on uber to get there. This needs to be fixed before it happens to another customer. Now my phone will be shut off and I'll have to pay a late fee due to their mistake. Not only that but their mymetro app refuses to let me use my debit card to pay my bill, it keeps saying my care is invalid! Which is WHY I had to get to their absurd store anyhow. My card seems to work perfect everywhere else? Funny eye...they make money off of every time you have to pay in store and do not use this app?! Total crap.

Several times i am not receiving incoming phone calls, actual phonecalls or notification (not even recorded in the log). The last time my son called me 5 times urgently and i got nothing! I was not out of coverage area and we both had full bars on our phones. I was on youtube the times he called me. I am furious! Also alot of times when i try to make a call, i get a message on my screen say "Not registered on network". This has got to be the worst service in California!

I frequently use your site to make a payment each and every month. I totally understand that Metro PCS and T-Mobile are trying to do their thing enter-twining etc. I feel it is not fair to have to go to the Metro pcs stores to make a payment each month. Please get the website together. Totally unacceptable because for one we definitely have to go to the store to make your payment, you have to pay the $3.00 extra and oh yes if your use your debit card lo and behold it's another dollar. This company wow. Been with you for many, years. I ask please, please fix your website to make payments.

I went to a Metro PCS store in Lake Forest, CA
I needed to pay my bill and cancel another phone line in my family plan and the manager (Jose) was using a rude tone.

Manager Jose: If you're having a bad day then there's nothing I can do about it.

I was shocked what he said to me because I was having a fine day until he spoked to me like that in a rude tone.

I came here to pay my bill and cancel another phone line in my family plan.

I didn't come here to listen to the manager's unprofessionalism.

I told Jose that he was being rude and he was not to speak to me like that.

Then he continues talking very disrespectfully to me, he kept repeating himself to me like what what what
I can't hear you I can't hear you why are you still talking why are you still talking why are you still talking.

It was unbelievable to me.

I looked at him in the eyes and his eyes looked dilated like he under the influence of
Drugs or alcohol. I could even smell the substance coming from his body out the pores.

I felt irritated and uncomfortable and I'm never returning to that store again.

Date of Incident: 10/01/2018 after 10:34 AM

I am 61 yea rold man. A retired msgt of the us airforce. Disabled with a medical condition. On 9/27/2018 around 4:40 pm. I entered the metro pcs store located at 191 s. High street in columbus, ohio 43207. I noticed that store was extremely hot inside. I asked the associate there miss patty. Could she switch the air conditioner on. Miss patty stated in a very rude tone of voice no! She then said the air conditioner made her sick. Other customers behind me were complaining about the same issue as well. I have spoken with my counsel concerning this matter. Please keep in mind that this problem has been going on since the very beginning of summer. Miss patty acts as if she has no sympathy what soever for the valued customers who come there. My mother mrs. Jeanette james who is 87 years old with severe knee pain sends me in to pay her monthly bill. [protected]. If miss patty continue to distribute this type of behavior. I will take my bussiness some place else. Please send some feedback about this issue at hand. Sonny jackson... My email address is [protected]@aol.com... Thankyou

Spent 2 days almost for Representatives after these idiots tell me that my bank is a reason why my payment didn't go through but their system was down and they decided to deny my payment but it's still pending on my account and it's going to post. Now I had to dispute to get the money back to resubmit the payment because Metro doesn't want to do anything but blame the bank and the customer. Pay my bill on time all the time argue with people who barely understand or comprehend just regurgitating the same information instead of rectifying the situation. And now these are trying to suspend my phone for their error on top of all of them admitting that it's their error but still they want to say it's my fault and then I'm the one suffering. I've been with Metro if I don't know how long since high school almost and now they want to pull some crap and wonder why people say Metro sucks. I'm going to be looking for a new phone company this weekend

I am trying to take my phone out of MetroPCS because I decided to change providers. Anyways I had purchased my phone with Metropcs and it was paid in full in one shot. There was no lease or any other sort of agreement. I bought the phone and had service with MetroPCS. Before today I have had service with MetroPCS for over 5+ years. Well anyways I try to change my service and take MY phone that I paid for in FULL to another service provider. When I went to do this, Metro decides to tell me for the first time that I cannot unlock my phone from them for another 50 and some days. They explain to me that because I bought the phone with them that I had to have it under their service for 180 days and there was no way that I could pay my way out of it or do anything except be stuck with them for another 50ish days. What really infuriates me is that when I went to buy my phone at Metro nowhere did they tell me or make me sign a document or policy, or even a terms and conditions that states that I would have to maintain service with them for 180 days to be able to unlock my phone. I believe it is outright wrong to force someone to have to maintain a service with a provider simply because you bought the phone in their store even though I was not given any nor did I sign any agreements to have this phone under their jurisdiction/service for 180 days. I personally would have never bought the phone if this was the case. Now all I would like to do is to simply unlock my phone from MetroPCS...

I live in Cleveland Ohio, but I work in Solon Ohio. When I am home my internet is good. But when I'm at work I don't get any signal.
Even when I was in Las Vegas my internet was good. But in Solon Ohio I couldn't get any signal.
Please do all that you can do to make this matter right.
Thank you.

I transfered 4 phones from spring to metro pcs last month. There was a promotion for 3rd line free. $100 rebate for transferring new line and $100 instant rebate. $49 for an I phone 6. I had iphones. With Sprint and that is why I transferred to metro because off the promotion. I am from Connecticut and no one had 4 iphone 6 in stock. I called a corporate store in Massachusettes and they did. I drove there and when I arrived the salesperson told me that I misunderstood the promotion. But he can give me 4 free phones. The next day I called to speak to a supervisor to exchange the phone but I had used one hour of talk time therefore I wasnt able to. She did acknowledge the mistake her sales rep made but there was nothing that can be done . I am upset that I was manipulated and misled. I am very disappointed that I allowed this to happen because I are an honest person and nobody deserves to be taken for a fool

I am not a happy Metro PCS customer I've been a customer for quite some time now yet I have not been able to receive or get text picture messages so I'm not a happy customer I'm asking to replace my phone numerous times they don't want to replace my telephone so I'm still not a happy customer customer satisfaction supposed to be one of your best and most foremost thing that I don't believe it is with you folks so I'm considering switching plans because of the option here of not being able to get my phone replaced so I believe that you need to replace my telephone to make me happy and my telephone number is [protected]

I'm from Italy and I will stay here in USA for almost 3 months. I went on 1st of September to a Metro pcs store in 615 Greenwich Ave Warwick RI02886 for buy an USA sim card for my italian phone.
I paid in total £ 75 included:
- £ 15 for the sim
- £ 50 for the plan with unlimited internet, calls and sms
- £ 12 for activation
I had many problem with my italian phone using internet, it was very poorly and slow connection and sometimes not connection at all.
I went to ask information in many other Metro pcs but they didn't know how to help me, someone from the store suggested me to go where I bought my sim but the store was closed.
Finally a guy from 719 bald hill rd. Warwick Metro pcs said that the issue was my italian phone cause my italian phone uses different band to connect on internet from usa phones. That guy said also to me that I've been robbed cause with the price that i've paid for the sim I should had a free one phone but they only register me with this new metro pcs phone ( that I've never received ) and He convert then to my italian phone. I was very upset. So finally I did a new sim card with this guy at Bald Hill Rd and I paid 10 £ for have a new usa phone.
My first sim was with this number [protected] and i don't use it anymore. this is my actual sim that i used with this new usa phone with this number [protected].
I wanted to make a complain about the behavior of this person who cheat me.. I've the receipt with me and his name is Vinil R. I'm very disapponted.I just come in this country for the first time and I didn't feel welcomed at all. I would like to be refound or at least have a discount for my next recharge on this number [protected] . I was really upset.

Kind regards,

Was suspended for non payment which i let him know i did not switch phone and my bill was paid he says he doesnt want to go back n fourth with me it says on his screen

I went down to metro pcs in Los Lunas the one next to rue 21, Maurices. I asked them to change my number to a diffrent one and a diffrent area code and they said they couldnt. The girls their are horrible. My mom had a incident their aswell not that long ago. I went down to Belen to see if they could and turns out it was possible. The girls in Los lunas are lazy and don't work. You should really look into it as this has not only happend to me.

Greetings,
The outlet manager's behavior at 14360 BELLAIRE BLVD HOUSTON TX 77083 falls outside of what is considered professionally right or proper. Details of my debt card information including the security code was copied without my approval. Unfortunately, he outlet manager could not articulate a reason that let to the action. Furthermore, I felt financially exposed as such I made additional complaint to my bank regarding this matter.

Thanks.

I've had 2 customer service representative try to help me on how I can block phone numbers on my phone and I couldn't understand either one of them. They need to get people who can speak English a lot better. I have been with Metro PCS for years now and I'm thinking very seriously about canceling my service for this very reason. Thecustomer service really needs improving.

Lied about price of reactivating my phone. Charged me 25$ bc stated I had to get new phone. Call to pay by phone and such bad connection they hang up on you. Long wait in lines. Always makes 30th the due date. Must pay 5$ to change due date. New phone I hate I just wanted to reactivate old phone I got from THEM! I do not recommend this service provider.

i bought a lg phone in march of 2018 and only had it a couple of months and this phone seemed like it had a ghost in it. I took it to the metro pc store and was told that it was my port that had messed up, it wouldn't take a charge or anything, it won't even come on now, I just bought a new phone august 10th of 2018 it was the coolpad phone, the screen froze up . I couldn't put my password in and @ the left top of screen it says it was in airplane mode which I didn't put there, I took it to the store metro pc where I bought it from, he called the tech @ the company they told him for me to send it to the company and they would have to return it back to factory reset, and I would lose all of my info, I did that with my lg phone . when you lose your info, it like losing your id, trying to get it back again is hard, phone numbers and videos and pictures. I called the company and they walked me thru the procedure to take my phone back to factory reset, cause I didn't want to wait 7-15 days to get my phone back. now it's still frozen . so I went back to the metro pc store I bought it from and the sales person told me to leave it with her and she will see if she could fix it, ok that was alright, when I went to go pick it up she told me I must of dropped it on something hard. so now my warranty wasn't any good I told her I didn't drop my phone it became very nasty . in conversation I had a year warranty on my phone . i'm so made because they r selling messed up phones and who have money like that to keep buying phones every couple of months, I had been with this company a long time but now I think its time for a change. I would like a refund or a new phone it's that simple . I cant send a photo of the phones because they don't work .

Metro Coustomer Service is OK.
MetroPCS have this promotion with iPhone 6s now but every store I've been so I got denied I don't understand why metro are providing this promotion if they can't serve people. I don't blame MetroPCS I just blamed the store owners buying into all these franchise but they too cheap so I don't know why they're doing it.
