AT&T Continues Charging Customers for Months After Cancellation Attempts

AT&T customers who stopped using services and attempted to cancel through multiple channels — store visits, phone, and online — continued to be charged for months after the intended cancellation date. The inability to complete a cancellation despite documented efforts constitutes unauthorized billing that is difficult to reverse without significant escalation. This pattern is widespread across major US telecom carriers and represents a structural consumer protection failure.

AT&T Continues Billing Customers Months After Account Cancellation
