Internal audit of call recordings is refused, leaving customers unable to enforce documented verbal agreements. The pattern of denying promised credits after commitment suggests a systemic gap in verbal contract enforcement.

An AT&T customer was promised a $105 activation-fee credit for three lines at the point of purchase, but chat support later refused to honor it, with no record apparently carried forward from the original sales interaction.

The pattern suggests systemic trade-in tracking failures that disproportionately benefit the carrier.
