Telecom companies send customers to collections for equipment lost in transit that was never received
AT&T charged $2,019 in collections for a phone lost during AT&T's own shipping, creating credit damage with no correction after 21 months. Carrier shipping failures become the customer's financial liability with no mandatory resolution timeline.

Telecom cancellation channels all redirect to each other with no resolution
Customers attempting to cancel AT&T service find that physical stores refuse to process cancellations, online portals block self-service cancellation, and phone support transfers endlessly without resolution. The result is months of charges for a service the customer has actively tried to terminate through every available channel.
