Telecom billing dispute with unreturned-device fee and unreachable support
Customer charged for a device they claim was returned; hours on hold, case closed without explanation, language barriers, and no audit trail of prior interactions. Points to weak dispute-resolution and case-tracking UX at a telecom carrier.
AT&T charges for trade-in phones it received and opens cases with no follow-up
AT&T bills customers hundreds of dollars for trade-in devices that were received and tracked to the warehouse, opens support cases that are never followed up, and provides no resolution path for the erroneous charges.

Xfinity Double-Charges Customers During Service Transfers and Hides Old Statements
When Xfinity customers move and transfer their service, billing errors including duplicate charges are common, and the company suppresses access to historical statements from the previous address to prevent customers from identifying and disputing the discrepancy. The deliberate limitation of billing history access is a structural barrier to consumer dispute rights in a sector with minimal regulatory enforcement.
