Complaint Review: Sprint - Sherman Texas

Sprint is a completely dishonest and corrupt company. They are unable to even respond to a coherent letter that follows their own guidelines set in the monthly statement for dispute resolution.

They cannot produce a contract or written document with me agreeing to a change of my existing contract which terminated in November 2006. I was on month to month and they insist on billing me a cancellation charge even when their own operator agreed I did not need to pay.

Please see below for the past three letters sent to them:

LETTER 1:

07-23-2007

Account #013********

RE: Sprint Service Bill Dated May 7, 2007

Sprint

PO Box 79357

City of Industry, CA 91716

1-888-788-4727

Dear Sir or Madam,

This is the second time this letter has been sent to you. Please do not continue to send me a statement without further looking into the following matter:

I received my final bill for my Sprint Services, originally started on 11/2004 and canceled by your operators in 4/2007, and it has listed an 'Other Charges' of $150.00 and additional charges of $21.11 for taxes and surcharges.

I hereby dispute these charges as they are not valid and have no basis for billing. As listed under 'Other Important Information', this notice shall be considered my dispute of the erroneous amount owed prior to the 60 day requirement.

I further consider my account closed and paid in full as the appropriate billing charges of $43.00 for the service period of 4/07/2007 to 5/06/2007 are paid in full via electronic transfer on 5/02/2007.

Please update your records on my account. My account was closed, no contract exists between myself and Sprint as of 4/2007 when the account was terminated. Sprint does not have any legal signature or otherwise, verbal / electronic agreement, to amend my contract beyond the original close period of 11/2006 therefore my account is not subject to a termination fee.

Regards,

Mar*****

Sherman, TX 75091

Dear Sir or Madam,

I completely dispute the balance you have listed in collections of 190.10 as it is for a cancellation charge of 150.00 for which I am not liable. I am not under contract with Sprint, nor was I under any contractual obligation at the time of my cancellation of account. Not only was I not under a written contract, Sprints operators canceled my service in April of 2007 with my consent and no obligation beyond normal charges for service.

Your charges are not valid and have no basis for billing. This notice shall be considered my dispute of the erroneous amount owed prior to the 30 day requirement.

I further consider my account closed and paid in full as the appropriate billing charges of $43.00 for the service period of 4/07/2007 to 5/06/2007 are paid in full via electronic transfer on 5/02/2007.

Please update your records on my account. My account was closed, no contract exists between myself and Sprint as of 4/2007 when the account was terminated. Sprint does not have any legal signature or otherwise, verbal / electronic agreement, to amend my contract beyond the original close period of 11/2006 therefore my account is not subject to a termination fee.

Please note enclosed letter which has been forwarded with the past three billing statements.

Regards,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I completely dispute the balance you have listed in collections of 190.10 as it is for a cancellation charge of 150.00 for which I am not liable. I am not under contract with Sprint, nor was I under any contractual obligation at the time of my cancellation of account. Not only was I not under a written contract, Sprints operators canceled my service in April of 2007 with my consent and no obligation beyond normal charges for service.

Your charges are not valid and have no basis for billing. This notice shall be considered my dispute of the erroneous amount owed prior to the 30 day requirement. Please provide me a contract or instrument bearing my signature or concurrence with the terms beyond November 2006 whereas my original contract with Sprint Company terminated.

As I am sure you are aware the Fair Credit Reporting Act, (FCRA) does not allow mis-leading or erroneous information to be posted to my credit file and allows me certain restitution against such reporting.

Please advise Sprint that they need to follow up with those that follow their own guidelines for disputing amounts owed, rather than completely ignoring now a total of 5 follow up letters.

Please note enclosed letters which has been forwarded with the past three billing statements as well as to the collection notice on 8/10/2007 to Sprint.
