First, don't get me wrong, I am not saying that this sort of
experience, if it truly happened the way it was presented was not just
awful. That being said, please allow me to clear up a point. No one
can alrter notes that are put into your account. After they are saved
by the representative that originaly adds them, they are part of your
permanent record. So if the original note the rep said they were
putting in was ever actually put in, it is still there. And I am in
100% agreement with you, that if the agent even just said that there
would be no fee, that should be enough, but as everyone knows, a
verbal agreement is not worth the paper it is written on.
What I would do if I were you is to send a detailed email to
customer.servicenet@sprint.com including your Sprint Phone number,
Account Number, Billing Address, and email address of record, as well
as alternate means of contact like say a landline number where you
can be reached and during what time frame. Make sure to be very
detailed in your story, and be as pleasant as you can muster. This
will get the issue escalated to a higer level, and hopefully you issue
resolved in a timely manner.
