Consumer Cellular
Collections for $140 over cancellation not made in writing

Shops, Products, Services

I never really had any problems with this company until I switched providers to an unlimited calling plan with another company. On the last billing cycle with consumer cellular I went over by about $20 although I paid somewhere around $40 extra so that they would release my phone # to the new cell phone provider. Then they decided they were not done with me yet, and decided to start running up bogus charges which I ignored.

They turned me over to their collection company 'professional credit service' that tried to tell me that I now owe $140 because I did not cancel in writing. I called consumer cellular on the phone to cancel and paid them off in full before they released my phone number and no mention was ever made about cancelling in writing. This is just a ploy of theirs to squeeze more money out of ex-customers, avoid this company like the plague they are totally dishonest!!
