tracfone wireless, inc straightalk deceptive business practices, false advertising miami florida 33178
This company "tracfone wireless, inc" dba "straightalk" sold me an unlimited international "prepaid" calling card that "DOES NOT" call international!!!
I asked for a refund because i was unable to use their prepaid calling card and they refused to refund my purchase price of $60.00 because they said thier card is unrefundable.
I informed them that i was unable to use thier product and they continued to refuse me a refund.
I informed them that if they continue to refuse to refund my money to me that i will sue them in small claims court. they continued to refuse me my refund.
I filed a lawsuite against them in small claims court for $10,000.00 for deceptive business practices and false advertising.
After they was served a summons to come to court they had a much different attitude about what they said "no refund".
They informed me that they would indeed refund my $60.00 in order to avoid paying me $10,000.00.
Much to my reluctance to agree to just the $60.00 i did agree as I stated to them that i am not a greedy person.
They fed exed me a check for $60.00 over night.
I told them that i would file a dismissal on my case against them as soon as thier check cleared.
When thier check cleared i did file a dismissal in my case agains them, and i emailed them a copy of the dismissal.
After they received the copy i asked them to show that they are a good company and reimburse me for my time out of my job, my gas money spent to go to and from the courthouse, and all other costs included in order to acheive my refund. They refused to reimburse me anything.
Just by thier action to not do the right thing (reimburse me my total costs) has shown me that they are not a company I choose to do business with anymore.
By all rights i should have taken them to court (for $10,000.00) to show them that thier under handed way of doing business should STOP!!!
All people that are considering doing business with them should be aware of what kind of company they really are.
They will cheat whomever they can cheat and get away with it!!!

This is exactly what i expected from this company. itis what I expected because of the way they do business.
This kind of response should tell the public an idea of what kind of people they are! Under handed and cheating people that will never stop trying to steal the public's money!
What this person didnt know when I filed my lawsuite against them is the personel in the courthouse told me that I WILL win against them and they helped me more than is required of them to file against TRACFONE WIRELESS, INC doing business as STRAIGHTALK
I am going to spread the word, and i know quite a number of people, and thos people will spread the word even further about this "RIPPOFF COMPANY"!!!

YOU would have lost that case BECAUSE when you set up and activated your phone the first time you DID NOT check the box for international calls. Then you add insult to injury by asking for a refund when it CLEARLY states on the PREPAID card that airtime is NON REFUNDABLE!!! Then they "settle" with you and YOU want MORE money for what was in essence YOUR FAULT!!!!! People like YOU truly sicken me. YOU are worse then ANY scumbag lawyer. YOU BULLIED THEM INTO GIVING YOU YOUR WAY!!! Thankfully THEY do have a REAL legal remedy. Since YOU are so quick to go to court, try defending yourself against the DEFAMATION lawsuit they can file on YOU for what YOU have posted. I think im going to contact them, lets see how fast that puckered little starfish of yours opens up into your pants when they want 100 of thousands from YOU. Typical bully tactics. When you don't get your way, YOU THROW A TANTRUM!!! And its all because YOU were to ignorant to go on the website and modify YOUR ACCOUNT!!! Must be nice to know that YOU are less then trash, but there is hope that YOU are going to get EXACTLY what YOU truly deserve when they take YOU to task for what YOU have and haven't done. YOU cant sue when its YOUR FAULT!!!
